Hi Thane, have you considered testing with high torque PM DC brushless motors like those used by electric RC airplane hobbyists.
They are usually very efficient compared with brushed motors. Also, easy to get speed controllers for these, again high efficiency.
( electric RC airplane hobbyists are very choosy when it comes to motors, as they only have limited weight allowance for batteries).
AXI makes amazingly good motors.

Not to be a pest, but did you have a chance to run the experiment with a fixed power source (the battery or a computer UPS)?
