Dyson Net
Basic Information
A Dyson Net would basically be a giant net of cables and wires encircling a star. Solar collectors are hung from the net. This may be a way to get higher efficiency out of a Dyson Swarm or Dyson Bubble, or a step towards converting a Dyson Bubble into a Dyson Shell. It's probably most stable if the net is suspended from the Statites of a Dyson Bubble, not drifting loose in space nor attached to rapidly orbiting satellites.
