Generators: Portable Power

I was just at an event this weekend and I looked around and saw a ton of extension cords with people charging LiPo's everywhere.  I asked where the power was coming from and was told generators.  That was funny as I did not hear that annoying roar of a typical generator.  As I walked around I saw a bunch of these small, red, and really quiet Honda generators all over the place.  I could not believe how quiet they were.

When I got back to work I looked them up and below are the specs of the ones that I saw.  It puts out 2000 watts for over 4 hours.  Amazing!

They are not cheap, but everyone I spoke with said they would never be without it... Maybe a topic for a future issue!
