A Dyson collector in Jupiter L2 point:
It need not always be mega.(Pluto mini sun)
I wonder how long can a hydrogen sphere with a 500 km radius burn; if it could be somehow ignited and kept under control by magnetic fields.
Such a sphere I positioned in orbit around Pluto; as well as three 'field generators' that generate the corresponding magnetic field.
For the first ignition, the field generators were powered by lasers with energy from the sun. The necessary facilities have now been dismantled. After the mini sun burns, they supplied the generators with power.

Very beautiful. But the collector masses seems a little high, I assume a value of 1 g/cm3. Actually, for such structures still much too high. Therefore of course I get also a completely different orbital period. I've changed the 'RefPlane' to "Equator". My script I call ProximaRingEq. The result looks like this:
Yeah it is, I experimented with it a bit myself. The one solution I can think of doesn't seem possible or if it is then it is exceptionally difficult. The rings need to have matched orbital speeds so they never intersect, but this also requires a lot of complex orbits for each individual disk.

Another possibility would be a Dyson bubble, with stationary panels. This is only possible in the solar system, because each collector has his own 'StarBarycenter'! In other star systems that would not be accurate enough. Brightness settings: Ambient must be made very high, so that the panels are visible.
