[Power = watts]
The power can be determined by multiplying the voltage and the amps. So for example if you have a 500 watt power inverter in your car. You want to know if your drill will be able to run with it plugged in. Figure it out like this. The label on the drill has (rated at 9.5 amps). Calculate volts X amps = watts.
110 volts
x9.5 amps
------
1045 watts
So the answer would be no the drill would blow the circuit breaker. It may work up to until it started to draw more than 500 watts. In other words if you just pulled the trigger it would probably turn but when you started drilling and put a heavy load on it that when you would exceed the 500 watt limit and blow the fuse.
So in this case you have just figured out what size unit you need. In order to run this drill you would need a power inverter larger than 1045 watts. I would say get a 1200 or better still a 1500 watt unit so it wouldn't run at full capacity and overheat.

Is a 14 amp power tool better than 18 volt power tool?
You can't compare volts and amps in this context. If you mean 18 Volts vs. 14 Volts then the 18 Volt tool will provide more power for the job.
What determines the power of an air tool?
three things the air pressure that the tool is rated for the amount of vanes in the tool to catch the air and the air hose having enough volume to supply the tool.
Is there a minimum distance that a lightning rod must be from a natural gas line?
I don't think the NFPA national electrical code has any rules concerning this. The local utility companies (gas / electric) may have a rule. Even if no rules governing distance, use prudent judgment ie: don't drive the rod so close as to risk contact and/or damage. If using a power tool to drive the rod, there is a risk that vibration from the tool can cause a leak in an old gas pipe. Also if using a power tool to drive the rod, many areas require a "call before you dig" so the utilities can be marked.
