im building a special effects prop .
and ive run into a problem ..
im building a fake jet pack
and one of its features needs power.
it will have a small (120v, 60 hz , 700W ) fog machine
attached to it to emit smoke.
it will be worn by an actor ..
and no cables can be shown .
ive done lots! of test and the best idea

I think what you are looking for is a generator. They are gas powered and some have pull cords on them like lawnmowers. Either that or you could go for a power inverter. Some of them can handle up to four appliances being plugged into them. You could try the Canadian Tire if you are in Canada. Wal*Mart if you are in the States. Otherwise, you just go to a hardware store in your local and ask for a power inverter that runs off your car battery.
