callenge! -> mobile soundsystem

[Atari]

Maybe it's not the perfect place to ask this but maybe there's someone who's been in the same situation.
I need to build a mobile soundssystem wich musicians kan move along WHILE their playing. I can't use a generator because it's too noisy. I have to get about 1000W from it to have enough "headroom". And it should work for at least 4 hours. I don't know how I'll have to do it. Every suggestion would be great. Thanx!!

A mobile nuclear reactor?
Sunpanels?
A truckload of batteries?

Rest assured you won't get 1000watts for 4 hours off of batteries but you might get 50-100watts.

Here is some stuff http://www.rentcom.com/catalog/Battery_PA_Systems.html

Another option is to use car batteries and some DC-AC convertors like they use for motor home and car TVs.

Also contact Ed "Sonusman" Rei as his former studio was mobile.
I believe the link was www.echostar.com .

Ed's system was a mobile recording system in a van not a mobile PA system that is hand pushed. He was probably just plugging into the local power at the gigs.
