Design Blueprint: An Algal Photobioreactor for Habitat Air and Water Polishing: Reactor Volume, Lighting Power and Oxygen Output
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24145201): This paper presents a computed design for a photosynthetic algal photobioreactor in which illuminated cultures consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, with lighting energy rather than reactor volume emerging as the controlling cost. 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.
