Buy me a drink
On the site www.gdstechnologies.ca some of the engrich is off.
When ever I see this the red flags go up.
Otherwise pretty intriguing.

The only thing running the unit is the unit ???
I think he meant-the only thing running the unit is the two very large batteries that are supplying the power to the two inverters-1x 120v 3000watt,and 1x 240v-who knows how many watts?
The 3000 watt unit is to small to run 1 aircon unit,but the 5000watt model will run 3 aircon unit's ;)
It looks like a water cooling fan that is attached to the water tank,and that seems to be the only thing attached to the water tank.So yea,the water will last 4 day's as it's only for the water cooled fan-evaporative cooling fan.
I see lots of other goodies in there as well,some of which don't seemed to be hooked up :o :D
The same result's could be had from just two batteries and an inverter-but green is nice. ;)

  Skepticism is quite expected, with so little info given...
  But they are selling a DEVICE.

Chet, you're very good at getting info via phone -   O0
I'd like to know:

1.  Asking innocently, how often does one need to re-charge the batteries?
2.  What is the cost of the GDS 3000 unit?  
3.  What is the smallest unit they sell (watts output) and how much does it cost?
4.  Is there any kind of full-satisfaction guarantee, like one-week or anything?  (so a guy could try it out...)
5.  Is there tax for a guy purchasing for the United States?
6.  Can someone come look at it?
7.  Any video of the thing running at say 15kW (the big one) for several hours non-stop?
8.  Does the 15kW unit have more batteries inside it, than the 3kW unit?  what is the big difference between the two?
9.  Do they need anyone to help sell these in the US?
10.  Can they disclose the name of at least one satisfied customer? (preferably in the US...)

So they are actually claiming that it IS the water that powers the generator. If you buy this generator,and find that it is not the water that power's the generator,then you would be entitled to a full refund,and then file a law suit against them for false advertising.

Quote from there web site--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.

I water cooled QMoGen aay?

Just when I thought I had seen everything...

Im sure there's better to come yet Matt.
Maybe a space time modulated QMoGen ;D

Hi there :)

I just noticed this thread and had quick look.
In the filmed box I do not see any engine running on water, the rest of circuit looks is standard alternator->charger->batery->inverter->motor->AC generator setup.
So I would stay skeptical until someone can show the engine running on water under water tank... ;)

Cheers!

Hmmmm don't know what to say C.C

Well here is my take for what it is worth ;)

We have a motor driving a water compressor (that's the silver thingy that looks like a generator and is driven by the motor)
We have a generator (photo thanks to T-1000) which is connected to bottom of water tank
We have a water tank which was seen when lid removed, had a lot of water condensation or splashing on it, I think mainly water splashing for my thinking ;D
What is not seen is what is the generator connected to, my take a turbine, after all it was mentioned "turbine". This being in the bottom of the tank and the reason for the water on the lid and the need for water cooling, (the fan on the tank).
We have two inverters, one is 3kw and it seems the other is 2 or 3kw, now is that to make up the 5kw unit? Hmmm. or 110v and 220v anyway that part is of no importance, the important thing is what is powering the generator?

Last of all if I was to scam then I would not show my face, would you? or is he just stupid ;D

I could go on with more, but, this just could be a load of BS so why bother C.C

Rings like the water wheel setup chet knows about and was a member of OU.com O0 but using a water turbine to convert the pressure from the water compressor, OU? you tell me :D

Attached is some higher resolution images of the box.

Now if this is not a fake,

then:

The tank holds water and a electrolysis cell producing approx. 5 liters of HHO per minute.
The tank has a cooling fan mounted to keep the water cool.
The first unit is a 10 Hp micro-turbine motor that drives a DC generator.
The DC generator is connected to a charge regulator that have two large dump resistors.
The charge regulator is connected to the batteries.
The batteries is connected to two inverters, one for 110VAC and one for 240VAC output.

If it IS a fake,

then:

Forget this post.

Yes, it pains me. Now twice embarrassed to be Canadian, the other was that Richard idiot.

Surely there is a catch? Did he forget to mention that you have to recharge the batteries as well as add water? C.C

Too bad comments were disabled on Youtube.

Even if this unit was producing excess HHO, how would it supposedly be converted to electricity to drive the motor?

Do I see wires haphazardly run behind the fan mounted on the tank?  :o

It almost appears they are wrapped around it.

From their FAQ:

Q: I thought you need a running stream or a pond or river to create this amount of energy?

A: Yes you are correct however with the setup of many coils and magnets make up for the amount of energy required for each application.

Sounds like Richard incarnate.  C.C

I'ves sent them an email asking if they are kidding.  ;)

If it is not a fake:

What electric motor? There is a mini turbine MOTOR that runs on HHO driving the electric generator.
In the video (when filming under the unit) you can see water dripping, from the exhaust port.

If it is not a fake:

The wires goes to the electrolysis cell inside the tank. A small tube can also be seen
coming out of the tank. This tube goes to the mini turbine motor that runs on HHO.

Can you point out the tube?

If that is a fan, then it must NOT be getting used, as clearly those wires are rubbing on the edge of that flywheel.

Why are there wires coming from the motor if it is not an electric motor?

Don't read too much into that water drip. It could be that the tank is leaking or spillage after he lifted the lid.

I think the notion that the motor is a turbine is a bit of a stretch.  :) If someone could produce a picture of one that looks similar and clearly states what it is, I might have a change of opinion.

99,

I did look at the video again, and what I saw as a tube is maybe a wire.
The fan is not running in the video, but the generator is running, so you
may be right, the fan is not used.

A micro turbine motor needs electric power to be started and to run.
That said, without any detail information, then your guesses is a good as mine.

Easy way to find out is just buy one,as it comes with a money back warranty.If it is not powered by water as stated,then you will get your money back. You will also know exactly how it work's and if it is fake or not.Probably cost me an arm and leg to get one sent to OZ-dose anyone live close enough for a pickup?

99,

I said clearly in my posts that "if it is not a fake", so I'm guessing how a generator system must be designed if I wanted to buil it.
