Yes you can - you can connect as many motors you like in parallel. Their output shafts can be connected (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, FTX)

And speed is actually something I don't want - the HabRing has to be very slow since I'm going to have detail I want people to see inside of it. (...)

| (...) The key thing is keep the center of gravity of the ring at the drive axle. If it is 1mm off then you will need a lot more torque, and the rotation speed will be non-uniform. (...) You can just use 3 bevel gears or this piece (URL) to do (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.space)
