PAW Pocket Dams™ — Master Notes

Core Identity

  • Filed as IP #74 under Project PAW Carbon & Energy Solutions Corp.

  • Modular, drop-in flow control and micro-hydro housing units.

  • Foundation hardware for multiple PAW systems:

    • Turtle Power™ (urban runoff / storm drain energy)

    • Riverbank Power Station™ (municipal-scale installation)

    • PAW’s Groovy™ (sidewalk runoff + piezoelectric integration)

  • Can be manufactured with reclaimed materials under the Built from Waste™ branding initiative.

Branding & Deployment

  • Positioned as the base unit for PAW’s water-energy infrastructure systems.

  • Built from Waste™ ensures sustainability, circular economy branding, and municipal goodwill.

  • Can be framed as “the Lego brick of water power” for simplicity and scalability.

Connected Systems

  1. Turtle Power™

    • Uses Pocket Dams in storm drains/manholes to generate clean energy.

    • Organized into 5-unit clusters called PAW Power Bombs™ (or UCCs for softer branding).

    • High-flow version: PAW Power Bomb MAX™ (IP #76-A), ~6–15 kWh/month, ~$4,675 build per 5-unit cluster.

    • Bulk deal option: Torpedo Savings Deal (cluster of clusters).

  2. Riverbank Power Station™

    • Municipal-scale deployment.

    • Licensing fee: $10,000.

    • Municipal support with installment plans (Wave 5 rollout).

    • Incentivized with carbon returns and surplus-to-grid power credit.

    • Municipalities required to purchase in batches of 5.

  3. PAW’s Groovy™

    • Sidewalk water redirection with groove + pocket-dam channels.

    • Integrated with piezoelectric tiles + micro turbines.

    • Classified as Evergreen Infrastructure Kit #6.

  4. PAW Plumbing™ Division

    • Created to install, service, and maintain Pocket Dams and related water-energy systems.

    • Covers smart valves, urban runoff flow control, and emergency water redirection.

Strategic Positioning

  • Infrastructure Backbone: Pocket Dams are the base block that make all other PAW water-energy tech possible.

  • Low-Cost Deployment: Units are modular and scalable—easy to install in clusters.

  • Carbon Farming Integration: Each deployment contributes to carbon offsetting & resilience credits.

  • Urban & Rural Use Cases:

    • Cities → runoff, storm drains, sidewalks.

    • Municipalities → rivers, streams, small dams.

    • Communities → modular water harvesting/energy kits.
