here's a situation i need resolved...*edit* one power source */edit*, two DC motors connected to one drive shaft...the input to the main motor is variable, and the secondary motor free spins with no current going through it, i want the secondary motor to be switched on when, and only when the main motor is near or at its max operation and act as a 'turbo' for the drive shaft, and then at maximum current, have both motors running at max, and when the current is reduced, the secondary motor turns off and the main motor runs alone once again...and i need the value of the 'turbo activation' to be adjustable...power sources is 6 AAA batteries, or a single 9v...also somone told me that the free spinning secondary motor will act as a generator, if this is true, is there a way to store the current that's being generated by the secondary motor, and then send it back around the circuit to compliment the source once the secondary motor is engaged?
for the why's, it's for a remote controled car...and the answers i'm looking for are: is it possible, is it practical, how complicated will it be, and what types of components will i need to make this work? I have very basic knowledge about electronics...though i have been accepted to the airforce to do this type of thing for a living, for the time being, i'm pretty much clueless...but i want to further my understanding of how circuits can be created to perform certain tasks...thanks
