Any reason not to take a couple 1/4 HP (claimed) cheap brush motors and use
them connected together with 1:1 pulleys and belt to drive something else?

The very last feature has begun to emerge.

This is the very last picture I will post of this challenge before
announcing exactly what is being created. A whole lot of you should be able
to get it now, and somebody should be able to get it precisely.

I ran my air compressor this way until I found a larger one. Don't
know about the efficiency but it worked for me. You could also make
use of a motor with inoperative start winding or start switch.
