What size generator would you need to run a 300 watt pa sound system for a few hours?

A 300 watt audio system means it has a peak power of 300 watts but the average power might be only a fraction of that, perhaps 5-10 watts. So it might run off a car battery, with an inverter to supply the correct voltage if needed. <<>> A 300 watt public address sound system will operate very nicely from as small as a 500 watt AC generator. A 1000 watt generator will give you more capacity if there are other devices that need powering.


How much electricity was used for the electric chair?

None from the public electric grid. Everyone who had an electric chair powered it from electricity generated on the prison grounds.I once read a list of what prison officials did on the day a murderer was scheduled to die in the electric chair. About 90 minutes before the execution, they would start a big diesel generator located on the prison grounds. An hour before the execution, they'd switch the whole prison from the grid to this generator. This is probably so death penalty opponents couldn't use an act of terrorism--blowing up the substation that fed the prison, cutting the lines leading into it, whatever--to stop the execution.Morbidly funny: A couple years before they fried Ted Bundy, someone sent a prank letter to every newspaper in the state. It said the state of Florida had contracted with Tennessee Valley Authority to purchase more electricity for that night. It also asked all Floridians to turn off their televisions, air conditioners, dryers and other appliances starting three minutes before Bundy's scheduled execution; doing so would supposedly allow them to pump as many as five additional megawatts into the chair. (It turned out not to be necessary to ask people to do this--I think half the state of Florida showed up at the prison to cheer when they finally fried Ted, and most of them turned off their dryers before they went.)
