(Nowhere near right, proof of concept)
Before reduction:

The live motor outputs 10 units of force, and the "dead" one outputs 5 units of resistance against that force, so 10-5= 5 units of force being translated to the drivetrain, or Half of what was put into it.

After:

The live motor outputs 100 units of force, and the "dead" one outputs 50 units of resistance against that force, so 100-50= 50 units of force being translated to the drivetrain, or Half of what was put into it.


True?


Edit: This is assuming that no worm gears or anti-backdrive pins are in place.
