I'm
thinking 220v well pump, small transformer type welder, clothes dryer etc.

If it would work, would the two gen-sets need to be the same size?

There is probably some simple reason why this is a really bad idea, but I
don't have
enough electrical background to see it.

Thanks,

First, it's good to think outside of the box. But not always.

I'd think you'd run into significant trouble in trying to get both
generators to be in phase with each other. I'd hazard if they aren't,
the one leading in phase will be feeding the other.
