You only need a UPS that can keep a machine running for about a few minutes. First start the portable generator, then unplug the UPS from the wall and plug it into the portable generator. Then when in the car/van/truck/... plug it over from the portable generator into a 12V / 24V -> 120/240V DC/AC converter and drive to a location where you have the tools to hack into a running machine. Best configure the machine to auto-power-down when it looses connection to a fixed device in your home, like the smart meter, bluetooth headset,... or anything else that has a built-in wireless capability. -- Joost
