Going camping or somewhere far away from civilization, as Henry David Thoreau liked to do? Well, you'd normally have a hard time attempting to fit a bulky generator on your ATV, so you could power the air compressors, lights, stereos, big-screen TVs, laptop computers, video game systems or portable ovens--amenities whose absence made even Thoreau's experience nearly unbearable. Fortunately, Yamaha is releasing two compact, very portable generators that are both fuel-efficient and quiet. Yamaha also claims the generators are environmentally sensitive due to their extremely low exhaust emissions. Both models automatically adjust the engine speed to precisely match the load, thus reducing wasted fuel. The generators' advanced technology detects whether extra power is required, and they even produce clean enough wave for power-sensitive mechanisms like computers and microcomputer-controlled tools and equipment. The EF3000iSE and B range from $1979 to $2199.
