Klasse Arbeit! ;)
And yes, Any traditional centrifuge accelerated at a force 90 degrees to it's rotation while it's rotating will become difficult to use as a living area. One solution to this may be to stop the rotation of the ring entirely, and accelerate (or decelerate) the ship at a constant 1-1.5G (9.8 to 14.7m/s2). Only rotating the ring to access another area of the living area. On maneuvers, I don't believe this could be much of an issue as any interstellar ship probably wouldn't be capable of maneuvers rough enough to cause anything more than minor discomfort.
A Centrifuge rotating around the axis of thrust does make a lot of sense, (despite some disadvantages) for larger vessels, and I think Ill have to take a crack at building one in the future.
Thanks for your input BKSpurr, yes I did overlook some conversation of energy issues, you are correct in saying that traditional methods of cooling wouldn't work in a depresssurized environment. And if I might add to your ideas on heat utilization, it may even be used to cook with. (ever try cooking an egg on a car engine?), also to elaborate on a point you made. This heat could absolutely be recirculated into generating power in the form of more traditional heat circulation generators.
Conservation of all energy within such a limited and isolated closed system would be extremely important.
Just a slight pick at your rationalization, "depressurized space would help deal with heat control". Standard earth type conduction/convection methods wont work in space. Maybe passive cooling materials that convert heat into infrared radiation. It might be better to conduct this heat through the ship as environmental control or to power lower end systems via an infrared 'solar' type system that could convert that infrared radiation into electrical potential, rather than just lose the energy to space.
Also a thought for the centrifugal force for the habitat ring. This could have problems under acceleration and deceleration due to the axis being at 90deg from the line of thrust, meaning that one side of the ring would incur more force and the other less while in rotation. Once up to speed it wouldn't be a factor but it'd be messy during maneuvers.
Just my two cent worth. Still a great build. Very well done.
