Here's your solution



So this guy - Thomas Knight - makes electric turbos (technically superchargers for the anal). Instead of using one giant motor, which would take up too much space and wouldn't provide the power curve he wanted... He ganged smaller motors in parallel and apparently had a working prototype...

Here's an Article on it...

Perhaps something like this is a suitable solution to combine motors.... Belts will likely just eat **** in short order...
