Adding a motor(s)? Yes, it’s been done.
Using washing machine AC motors? If it’s been tried, whoever did it was probably too disappointed with the results to report on it.
You need something with some grunt. Those little motors might pull enough power on startup to claim they peak at 5hp, but that’s for moments. They’re probably rated at about 1, or at most 2 horsepower continuous. They have low starting torque. They’re not appropriate for what you’re trying to do.
Find something rated at 5hp continuous and you’re on the right track. All a little motor can do, at best, is extend your P&G by a bit.
