some of you aren't understanding the concept. the second motor is running off the power driving the car so there is no loss in energy only a gain. it might not be as much as desired but u will notice it as the rpms increase and more evergy is generated. but i want to talk to some of u on ain for a thorough explaination
That's pretty bizaare and I doubt that it would work, even though I'd like to see it done just to prove me wrong; but an extra motor weighs more than an extra battery (possibly 2 for that matter) and also, there's no way you can gain energy without losing some energy from the original motor. And the speed that one motor can move will be limited to the speed that the other can move, which would give you a minimal increase in RPM's anyway.

Basically, the energy generated by one motor moving wouldn't be enough to make the other motor spin very fast, and since they would be geared together (meaning they have to be moving at the same speed), chances are that the slower moving second motor would only slow down the original motor.
