Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Caldwell Colorado River Rescue Engine (CRRE‑1.1) is a unified, multi‑layer engineering architecture designed to stabilize the Colorado River system using real, buildable, open‑hardware modules from the Caldwell Portfolio. CRRE‑1.1 integrates atmospheric water harvesting, PFAS/microplastic remediation, solar‑thermal desalination, molten‑salt and flow‑battery energy stabilization, floating gyroid evaporation‑reduction panels, submerged cooling structures, climate/hydrology prediction networks, and desert agriculture decoupling systems.
All modules are already posted on TDC.
