Once upon a time, I had envisioned using two of these E-tek  motors mounted shaft nose to shaft nose, with a single 1"  or 1.5" wide synchronous drive pulley connecting both shafts. The brushes would, of course, have to be optimised for counter rotations. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to get them to share the load  more or less equally?
