hmmm

a 5000 wat generator wont run nearly 60% of your house...factor in a fridge and a washer and dryer and that would overload it (or stove, furnace, etc) not to mention you would seen some type of device to limit the output of the generator so it doesnt blow the breaker/fuses on it. (it will try to power all it can) dont forget about current/voltage surges when stuff cycles on and off.

ultra quiet and engine do not belong in the same sentence, hard to have quiet explosions :P

doubt that generator would ever create more than you need and even if it were possible to hook it into the grid they would pay you little to nothing for it.
