No, it is easy. One generator is in the emergency standby mode. If the first one goes off, the second one comes on automatically. The power may stop momentarily but it comes on a few seconds later. As I said, people who have medical life support systems at home have emergency standby generators. The medical systems have batteries nowadays so they can be without power for a while. Here are some standby power systems: http://www.generac.com/for-homeowners/home-backup-power http://www.lowes.com (search for "standby generator") These may not be engineered to run continuously the way a cold fusion generator would be. Other small generators are designed to run continuously, for remote cabins and the like. Here is the cheapest one from Lowe's: Generac PowerPact 7,000-Watt (LP) Standby Generator with Generac Engine and Automatic Transfer Switch, $1,709.00 The most expensive one: KOHLER 48,000-Watt (LP) Standby Generator with Kohler Engine, $14,709.00 - Jed
