  You can build arbitrarily large coils with one of these. For example, wrap a coil around the earth. This could e.g. tap into the earth's magnetic field as produced by its spinning core.

  Did you perchance come here from With This Ring?

    Heh. Yep, figured I should recruit /r/rational to come up with ideas.

  Prevent the fall of the City Builder civilization on the Ringworld.

  Build a spaceship. Always the solution.

  Recruit an orchestra.

  Is it a perfect conductor of heat too, or just electricity?
  

• u/Farmerbob1:

  Any limit on mass?
  
  If not, build quench guns for launching raw materials into space.

  Hoverboard.
