There is an electrical formula which may help you.
Volts multiplied by amps equals watts. If you have any two portions of the equation you can determine the third by division or multiplication.
So if you have a 1000 watt generator putting out 110 volts the amps would be 9.09. If the rating is for 120 volts the amps would be 8.33. If the 1000 watts were being produced by a twelve volt inverter there would need to be an 83 amp input.
V X A = W Watts will always be the bigger number so it is easy to remember the formula.
For a tad more info, 1000 watts is a kilowatt and when used for one hour becomes a kilowatt hour or KWH as on your light bill.
Not quite sure how much you might tie up in your project but Harbor Freight has two generators listed for less than $200. If you have a retail store near you it would save shipping. My Ace Hardware store sometimes has cheap generators in stock, might check there.
