Portable quiet generator

I need one for some lighting tests, emergency camera power, laptop power, etc.

Is there any gas style thing that is quiet enough?
 
Hey.
We've made a portable power unit, but it's probably too expensive and not powerful enough for your requirements:

The unit is an autonomous, compact power supply, capable of delivering 300W of pure sine 110V for one hour. It includes a high-capacity NiMH celled battery pack, a pure sine inverter and a battery charger. Weighs about 19 lbs or 8.5 kg.

A much cheaper way would be to get a GEL Battery (marine or otherwise, 12V) and buy a cheap inverter. Since that probably won't be pure sine though, you won't be able to run everything off it, especially highly electronic stuff.
 
Oh, and I could not imagine anything petrol/gas being quiet enough for filming, unless you do as in big productions, and run a protable, acoustically 'sealed' unit that is 300m away.
