With the scale those rings are at, you would actually want slightly faster revolution. Even with a roughly 30-40m radius ring, you'd want them going at about 60 rpm to be roughly the acceleration of gravity on Kerbin, and even if you were okay with just Minmus, at that size, you'd need at least 12 rpm because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the time it takes to go around the center

[@pabloserrano4568]

Hi, so I did the math and for kerbals to feel the same force as in kerbin the circle should have a radius of 37 m (for 5rpm) It might be cool to make a space station that big.

5 RPM is one rotation every 12 seconds, or about 0.261 radians per second. Your ring looks to be about 5 metres in radius (1.25 for the mk2 cabin on the edge, +2.5 for the Mk1 cabin connecting tube, + 0.625 for the structural tube, + 0.625 for half the radius of a 1.25m rotor.) I had to google the formula for centripetal acceleration, but Google tells me it’s = rω^2. Putting the numbers I got into that formula tells me your ring, at the minimum speed allowed by those rotors, is experiencing ~0.34 m/s^2. Less than a twenty-fifth of a gee, roughly equivalent to standing on Pol. Still like seven times stronger than Gilly, though I doubt any of these will help much with your Kerbal’s bones. My point with all this is to say that the Breaking Ground robotics are not too fast to allow for artificial gravity rings. I’d suggest running these particular rings at 15 RPM, which would give your Kerbals only a little less than a third of Kerbin’s gravity (3.08 m/s^2) to deal with. EDIT: Ew, Matt, are those confetti fairings? Disgusting.

The problem is that humans can sense the fact they’re spinning at speeds like that. It makes you incredibly nauseous. The issue isn’t in making gravity in that way, it’s making gravity in a way that won’t immediately make you blow space chunks.
