Design Blueprint: Electrodynamic Dust Shielding for Solar Arrays and Radiator Surfaces

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24188925): This study sizes electrodynamic dust shielding for a 200 square metre solar array: dust derating at the stated level would cost 12.5 kilowatts of output, while the shield draws an average of 100 watts at the stated duty cycle, a net protection of 12.4 kilowatts and a benefit ratio near 125. Sizing follows from computed energy budgets derived in the study. This is a computed study with no targeting or weapon application. The work is simulated and computed from stated assumptions, not measured. Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
