Wouldn't the planet have to be close enough to the red dwarf where it would be receiving lethal radiation? That would render the planet quite inhospitable for humans, unless there is going to be a non-human race on this planet.

Ah, thank you for the input! This is a great starting point, I'm going to play around with the equations tonight! As for some of the great commentary, I haven't actually decided on any set idea for size or length of a waveguide, considering that some of the models we've created each look a...
