An O'Neill cylinder would consist of two counter-rotating cylinders. The cylinders would rotate in opposite directions in order to cancel out any gyroscopic effects that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the Sun. Each would be in diameter and long, connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system. They would rotate so as to provide artificial gravity via centrifugal force on their inner surfaces.

  • The O'Neill Cylinder, or Island Three, is a space colony design proposed by Gerard K. O'Neill. O'Neill envisioned that the colony would be built using materials from the Moon. The materials would be launched into space using a mass driver. The habitats themselves are cylinder-shaped, and are always built in pairs. Each one is five miles (8 km) in diameter, is 20 miles (32 km) long, and can house several million permanent residents. Each cylinder is divided into six equal-area strips that run down its side. Three strips are "land", and the other three are windows. The The two cylinders are counter-rotating and are connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system.
