Pressure in a Can of Soda. Topic index | author index | special index Pressure can be defined as the magnitude of force (F) acting perpendicular to a surface divided by the area (A) over which the force acts (P = F/A).
It can be measured in various units; the most common pascal, atmosphere, and pounds per square inche (1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 14.7 psi). Gases exert a pressure on any surface with which they are in contact. The amount of pressure exerted by the molecules of a gas depends on the force and frequency of the molecules towards the walls of its container. DysonFAQ. What is a Dyson Sphere?
The Dyson sphere (or Dyson shell) was originally proposed in 1959 by the astronomer Freeman Dyson in "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation" in Science as a way for an advanced civilisation to utilise all of the energy radiated by their sun. It is an artificial sphere the size of an planetary orbit. The sphere would consist of a shell of solar collectors or habitats around the star, so that all (or at least a significant amount) energy will hit a receiving surface where it can be used. This would create a huge living space and gather enormous amounts of energy. A Dyson sphere in the solar system, with a radius of one AU would have a surface area of at least 2.72e17 km^2, around 600 million times the surface area of the Earth. Black hole evaporation.
