The big ones are usually powered by a generator mounted on a trailer.  I 
saw one that was purchased at a U. S. Navy surplus material sale. .  It 
was built on a truck trailer.  The engine was a Caterpillar diesel that 
was clearly too large for truck service.  .  //  A friend of mine powers 
his 75m mobile. 2x 4-1000a  amp from a 10kW trailer generator.
