3 treadmill motors a switch and a lightbulb

    Moving a bearing can double the ouput.  Starter motor not shown.  You can always just spin the converter by hand.

Hi Sparks
I can't help thinking that you need to give more details, also would it work better if everything was on one drive shaft.

   A dc motor is anchored to a platform.  When in operation the stator rotation is resisted by the mounting plates.  1/2 of the torque produced by the motor is waisted or resisted.  The torque splitter is a permanent magnet dc motor with double shafts.  Attached to the shafts are pillowblock bearings which anchor the assembly to the ground through the bearing supports.  The stator or motor shell is balanced and allowed to spin freely.  Around the outside diameter of the motor is attached a pulley connected to the drive dynamo.  The output from this drive dynamo (dc permanent magnet motor used as a dc generator) is fed through slip rings to the brushloder inside the torque splitter.  This drives the armature in counter rotation to the torque splitter motor shell.  As the drive dynamo loads up it stalls the shell and the armature drives the output dyanmo through a pulley on the torque splitter shaft.

I don't see where you think the advantage is. Wouldn't it be a lot easier of a setup to just change the diameter of the pulleys.  It would give you the same effect.

I think powercat is right.  Horsepower tests on hybrid cars show having the generator and power drive motor on the same shaft can increase efficiency, but there are a lot of variations on this theme.

There's also the consideration of things like inertia and the conservation of energy.
