Abstract Cylindrical braneworlds have been used in the literature as a convenient way to resolve co-dimension-two branes.They are prevented from collapsing by a massless worldvolume field with non-trivial winding, but here we discuss another way of preventing collapse, which is to rotate the brane.We use BELTS a simple microscopic field theory mode
