SUMMARY
Using a motor-powered generator with a speed multiplier gearbox does not increase electrical output due to the principle of conservation of energy. The discussion confirms that any potential gains from the gearbox are negated by inherent losses, making it impossible to produce more power than the input. The consensus is that the efficiency losses in the gearbox would prevent any increase in electrical output.
