A Toronto, Canada company, GDS Technologies Ltd.,
says it has developed a portable generator that runs
solely on tap water.
The GDS portable water generator comes in three
models: 5,000 watts, 10,000 watts and 15,000 watts.
According to inventor Gregory Potter, the 5,000-watt
model can run for three days on four gallons.
A video demonstrates the 5,000-watt portable water
generator in action; there is no pollution or exhaust, no
hidden extension cords powering the device, no
batteries to replace, it is significantly less noisy than a
standard generator and the only upkeep is keeping the
water tank clean and supplied with fresh tap water.
Features of the portable water generator include
"rugged," non-inflatable (or deflatable) tires, an
emergency shut-off button, digital meters, a timer,
covered outlets, a breaker and an optional intake valve
that connects to a garden hose with automatic shut-off
with a floating device within the water tank.
According to Potter, the 10,000-watt model can power
two air conditioning units, but even the 5,000-watt
model is suitable for running a stove, or computers and
other electronics.
Models run from $5,360 Canadian to $14,885
Canadian, and will be available to the public "soon."
According to the company's Alibaba site, GDS
Technologies is currently capable of producing 400
portable water generators per month.
