Of course you can get the same effect by simply using a UPS between a conventional generator and any really sensitive electronics.

If all that concerns you is the noise there are plenty of ways to mitigate that.
Thanks button needed. Plug your sensitive electronics into an UPS (battery backup). Not terribly expensive, and gives a nice clam flow of electricity. Besides that, if you are plugged into the battery side, you will have time to shut down the equipment before cranking the generator (assuming you are at home at the time)
