Move over QEG, Rossi and the other QmGens. The answer is here!!!! Or is It ? In my believe it or not section for this week we have the water powered generator from GDS Technologies in Canada
I have decided this was worthwhile updating with a post from PieEconomics
He garnished some useful information in regards to the claims raise more questions than answers. I also highly recommend reading the comments section.
I just got off the phone speaking with Greg:
(1) To go totally off grid you need to purchase two machines, so one is running (up to 8 hours) while the other one is off (cooling down for a minimum of 3 hours).
(2) The water molecules stay intact– no hydrogen is produced. The water evaporates after a few days, due to heat.
(3) The batteries never need to be charged from the grid– so the unit doesn’t even come with a plug for the wall. The unit is shipped with charged batteries, and a trickle charge from the “process” keeps them from going dead.
(4) Greg no longer is off grid for his house. This is because he has a couple of homes and travels a lot so he is not around enough to monitor them properly. Instead, he runs a unit periodically, and an automatic transfer device switches power between his device and the grid to power his house. There are two business facilities with 10 kW units, and I believe he said these facilities are off grid.

I suggest watching the video first and I ask yourself is this possible. They claim it is and you can purchase one now. I have conducted no research into this other than what is on the web site. From first look it appears to be a set of batteries, a couple of inverters and possibly some water cooling for the inverters. It would provide back up power for possibly a few hours depending on load, but only until those batteries have run down.
According to that website: GDS is a manufacturing company in renewable energy.
“We have developed a portable water powered generator that creates a large amount of energy to run our portable generators that generate power simply by adding water. Spending money on expensive gasoline is a thing of the past. We have found a way to produce energy by adding clean tap water.
Emergency back-up power for camping, motorhomes to construction sites, GDS Technologies has created a new solution. Our generators are 50% less noisy than regular gasoline generators and can be used indoor because it produces NO Fumes and NO Pollution. Save energy, reduce costs and help the environment.”
Other Information
They Claim to have several models up to 15KW and all models only need water to run. There is no fuel, no pollution.
The following is the specifications of their 5000 watts model. Rather than reproduce all the information you can just click the links to whatever you wish to explore.
GD5000
The GDS5000 produces 5000 watts of power for moderate duty. Use for your house, cottage, or small construction project. Emergency back-up power, concerts, camping motor homes. This unit also is 50% less noisey than traditional generator so you can use indoors with NO Fumes andNO Pollution and it’s a great way of saving energy cost and helping the environment.
How does it work?
When you receive your new portable water generator just add 4 gallons of normal water in the tank and turn the red toggle switch to on position (emergency safety) that will start the battery and pump and turbine all at once that easy. All units have been tested before leaving our facility.
Instruction and warranty manuals will be supplied with every unit sold.
How do I know which unit I need?
Simple, on ever electrical product that is made, there is a sticker and it will show how many watts per hour it uses then total all the watts together, that will tell you how many watts you are using and will help you decide which unit best works for your needs. If that is confusing then just emailsales@gdstechnologies.ca your monthly electrical bill and we will assist you to figure it out for you.
- Large capacity water tank with incorporated digital gauge provides durability and extended run time.
- Fold down locking handle for sturdy portability and compact storage.
- Heavy duty never flat wheels for reliability portability.
- Covered outlets provide added protection from the environment in rugged working conditions.

Final Thoughts
So there you have it. The worlds energy crisis is now averted, I think I will go back to fishing. I suggest anyone from Canada should call or visit (if nearby) and report back. To be honest I cant be bothered even calling.
I am not saying it can not do what is claimed, It can provide back up power for a limited time. I am asking how long can it run producing power until those batteries run down? I also finding rather amusing they feature on all the physical features of the technology like rugged wheels etc but not how it works. No mentions of a patent? You would think it would be headline news (not even a mention at PESN) Correction.is now lead story at PESN.
Have fun with this one
Kind Regards
