multiple motors?

(Couldn't post this in the science section, locked out or something)
Multiple motors and larger pinion gears/ gear rations vs larger motors.

So here is my question: Will.. lets say 2 motors of equal power produce twice as much power/torque (not speed) by drawing off of the same power source, or will it be halved? (half power going to each = power of 1?) then just change the gear ratios to have larger pinions on the motors and smaller on the body/ drive shaft.

And would this even be a practical mod, with weight being a factor and all? let me know what you think, or toss me some links if you know people who have already done this. just curious to see what i can find.
