I don't know about the agitator, but with enough gears, you can speed up
the rotation from a single motor quite easily. With 4 pairs of 24-tooth
gears driving 8-tooth gears, I created a hand-cranked fan with
incredible speed. So as long as the mass of the tub isn't too great for
the motor's torque, this should work.
