If the outer ring of a rotating space station was producing the equivalent to 1G, but a higher G was needed could in small modules, could a bolo-like attachment be included with the ring to accomplish this?
Artificial gravity space station. 1969 NASA concept.
Would it be possible for a rotating ring station to remain stable in such a situation:
If the entire station was not rotating while it was being constructed, then, once the station was complete, ring and bolos alike, were uniformly accelerated, turning about the central axis.
