Island 3 is a cylinder of 3 or 6 Km radius that spin enought to produce
a centrifugal force similar a G: 9'8 m/s
The Sun Light enter through the windows, from mirrors located in a
structure tilted about 30 degrees, as long as the cylinder.
How strong is the centrifugal force in the extreme of the mirrors?.
The radius of spin is much more than the radius of cylinder. Can the
mirrors suport his own weight?
