A Dyson swarm is a hypothetical megastructure consisting of a vast number of independent, solar-powered satellites orbiting a star in a dense formation to capture its energy output. It represents the most practical and physically plausible variant of Freeman Dyson's original 'Dyson sphere' concept, avoiding the extreme gravitational and structural stresses of a solid shell. Such a system would allow an advanced spacefaring civilization to harness nearly the entirety of their host star's power.

  1. Alexander Wissner-GrossPositiveAug 11, 2026· Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

    Dyson swarms could become a major technology and investment theme within years.

    “Dyson swarms for starlifting and for mega engineering and stellar engineering could be the neck, not financial advice. Next big thing a few years from now”
