Objective:
To develop a non-lethal, high-pressure water-based defense mechanism connected to a 60,000-liter tank that neutralizes intruders at designated access points (e.g., main entrance doors). Please see the attached document, which contains the proposed system schematic.
________________________________________
System Overview:
1. Water Supply:
• Source: 60,000-liter storage tank (dedicated or shared with building systems).
• Refill Method: Borehole or municipal water supply with filtration and pressurization backup.
2. High-Pressure Pumping Unit:
• Pump Type: Multi-stage centrifugal or triplex plunger pump.
• Pressure Range: 1,500 to 3,000 PSI (adjustable depending on required force).
• Flow Rate: 10–30 liters per minute per nozzle (depending on coverage area and nozzle count).
• Power Source: Solar-hybrid with battery backup or dedicated generator (for uninterrupted operation).
3. Nozzle System & Delivery:
• Location: Concealed around entrances (e.g., door frames, overhead bulkheads).
• Type: Fan or needle jet high-pressure nozzles with a wide-angle spray pattern.
• Material: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel or brass.
4. Trigger Mechanism:
• Sensors: AI-enabled motion detection, facial recognition, or thermal imaging.
• Manual Activation: Panic button or mobile app control.
• Failsafe: Deactivation switch with biometric authorization.

Operational Logic:
1. Threat Detection:
o Intrusion or threat is detected by cameras/sensors.
o System verifies the threat based on pre-set parameters (e.g., forced entry, weapon detection).
2. Activation:
o High-pressure pump activates within 1–2 seconds.
o Nozzles spray high-pressure water jets aimed at chest and upper body of the intruder.
3. Impact:
o The water jet knocks down or disorients the intruder.
o Non-lethal but physically incapacitating (especially effective in confined entrances).
o Option to release dye/marker or irritants (optional upgrade).
4. Response Window:
o Alarm is triggered and alerts security personnel.
o System continues to pulse or spray in intervals until deactivated or backup arrives.

Safety & Maintenance:
• Pressure limiters and surge protection to avoid pipe damage.
• Regular testing of pumps and nozzle flow rate.
• Manual override for emergency or accidental activation.
________________________________________
Considerations:
• Legal & ethical approval for use of force.
• Drainage system at activation zone to handle water runoff.
• False-positive protection to prevent misuse (e.g., against children or authorized personnel).
• Redundancy: Secondary system in case of power or pump failure.

System Components
1. Water Supply
• Source: 60,000-liter elevated or pressurized tank.
• Location: Basement, utility floor, or rooftop (with gravity assist if elevated).
• Water Quality: Clean, filtered (to prevent nozzle clogging).
2. High-Pressure Pumping System
• Pump Type: Industrial-grade plunger or triplex pump.
• Operating Pressure: 1,500–3,000 PSI (configurable).
• Flow Rate: 15–30 L/min per nozzle.
• Power Supply: Hybrid (grid + solar + battery backup or generator).
• Control Valve: Electrically actuated solenoid valves with emergency shutoff.
3. Delivery Network
• Piping: High-pressure stainless-steel or reinforced PVC piping.
• Distribution Points: Concealed inside walls, ceilings, or doorframes.
• Nozzles:
o Fan jet or solid stream nozzles.
o Arranged to cover key target zones (torso-level to destabilize, optionally overhead for visual disorientation).
4. Activation & Control
• Sensors: AI-enhanced motion, facial recognition, and weapon detection.
• Manual Trigger: Panic buttons, security terminal, or mobile interface.
• Automation Logic:
o Threat detection → Signal processing → Pump and valve activation → Nozzle engagement.

Security Protocol Workflow
1. Threat Detection
o Surveillance identifies unauthorized or hostile presence.
o Cross-verification through multiple inputs (e.g., movement, access violation).
2. Engagement
o System activates nozzles within <2 seconds.
o Directed high-pressure water jets incapacitate the subject through impact and disorientation.
o Optionally, water can include UV dye for suspect marking.
3. Containment & Alert
o Audible alarm and automated alerts sent to on-site and remote security.
o Continued pulsing in 3–5 second bursts to discourage further intrusion until manually stopped.

Additional Options
• Smart camera integration for evidence collection.
• Integration with lockdown systems and access control.
• Drainage trench near the doorway for water runoff control.
