Probably not. Their outputs are too variable. A little load on one leg
will drop the RPMs a bit for a moment on one generator, then BAM,
they're out of sync.


nope sorry it wouldnt work

you can use one generator for some loads, and the other for different
loads.

call one essential and one nice to have luxuries.
