What size inverter generator would you need to run a 42 inch LCD tv?

It varies a little depending on your brand, but the back of the television should give you a fairly good indication for power consumption (about 221W for a Sharp 42" LCD TV).
Then you'll have to check out to see if TV can handle a Modified Sine Wave (MSW) supply or if it needs a Pure Sine Wave (PSW) supply. You don't want to plug in your 42" TV and burn it out. The PSW inverter will be more expensive.
Based on the above, if you were to get a 300W inverter with a surge capacity for temporary higher loads (switching on the back-lighting fluros will draw more than 221W for a short time), although better to get a 400W one and see how it goes, that way if it all goes well you can also plug in your DVD player (making sure that it can also handle a modified sine wave voltage if you went down that path).
Then all you'll need to do is work out how long you want the inverter to work to buy enough battery capacity to keep you running.
Also, an inverter inverts DC to AC, a generator usually burns something to generate AC directly. To my knowledge there aren't any inverter generators.

Can a inverter generator be home built?
Yes, an inverter generator can be built at home. However, you would need a small engine to start, and a cover to keep anything from getting inside the engine.
What size of an inverter generator would you need to run a MacBook Pro?
Look on the AC power adapter and read its rating in watts. You will need an inverter with at least that output capacity.
Does a rectifier have the ability to convert DC to AC?
No. For that, you need an inverter or a generator.
What converts direct current to alternating current?
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
What size power inverter do you need for a laser printer?
You need at least 6 times the wattage. Call Samlex.com. This is for the surge and heat fuser. This is too expensive so I am going for a portable generator.
Could works a 500 watts of power and 3 phases motor with a wind generator?
Yes, but it would have to be a pretty big and expensive wind generator. You would need an inverter to produce at least 500 watts of 3 phase power. Unless you also had some big batteries, you could only run your motor when the wind is blowing!
What size gas generator shoud you use for 55200 watts?
You would need at the minimum a 56 KW generator. In reality you would need a 60KW.
How much would a Yamaha generator cost?
Prices vary for a Yamaha Generator depending on the size of the generator. The more wattage involved, the more you will need to pay. First you need to determine the size of generator you need then contact a local retailer.
How is alternative current prodused in a battery?
A battery by itself will only supply DC output. You would need a method to convert DC to AC, such as an inverter, in simplified terms: an electronic circuit which has an oscillator to create the desired frequency then amplifies it to the desired magnitude output. Another way, which I don't know if used anymore, is a motor-generator set. A DC motor's shaft is connected to an AC generator's shaft, and the output is taken from the AC generator.
Is a gas generator better than electric?
The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.
If you have a 800 watt inverter will it run a 110volt cooler?
Depends on the wattage of the cooler. 800 watts would be a small cooler I think. You need to check the cooler specification before connecting it to the inverter.
