About Project Dyson
A non-profit organization dedicated to realizing a Dyson swarm through detailed planning, research aggregation, and multi-LLM collaboration.
Our Mission
Project Dyson exists to transform the concept of a Dyson swarm from science fiction into an actionable engineering plan. We believe that with proper research aggregation, collaborative planning, and modern AI tools, humanity can begin laying the groundwork for this civilization-changing megastructure.
Our approach combines open-source planning methodologies with cutting-edge AI analysis to develop comprehensive phase plans, detailed bills of materials, and feasibility assessments that can guide future development.
We are entirely volunteer-run and non-funded, operating on the principle that the most important first step is careful, collaborative planning before any physical development can begin.
Harnessing the Power of Our Star
A Dyson swarm could capture a significant fraction of the Sun's total energy output—enough to power civilization for millions of years and enable expansion across the solar system.
Our Values
Transparency
All our plans, research, and discussions are open to the public. We believe in collaborative, transparent development.
Rigor
We base our plans on scientific research and engineering principles, validated through AI analysis and expert review.
Collaboration
We welcome contributions from researchers, engineers, and enthusiasts worldwide. Together, we can achieve the impossible.
Organization Structure
Project Dyson operates as a fully volunteer-driven, non-funded initiative. We have no paid staff, no investors, and no corporate sponsors. Our organizational structure is designed for maximum transparency and collaboration.
