These are some combinations of radius and rpm for calculating artificial gravity.
Interesting to contemplate what it might take to pull these off.
For example, a large structure of 900 meters in radius would require a turning speed at the edge of over 300 km per hour. That would require a non trivial amount of energy to get it up to speed.
But a smaller radius would take much less as you would expect. But the rpm may be more than the average person could tolerate.
There would have to be a happy medium that would make the thing feasible.
