Hi Alvaro,
Mmm, not a good idea. SG and Window motor on the same shaft ...
The SG is not a good prime mover although John always insisted that we use the power of the shaft. So, the shaft power is important and adds to the efficiency which has been stated many times.
If you think about the SG a little, it is a compacted Watson machine already.
If you want faster speed, Peter Lindemann showed in the Advanved Hand Book a way to get it. Plus the low-drag generator. You were doing some experiments in that direction as I remember so I encourage you to continue with that. I hope you have seen already the machine Peter showed at the last conference (2016) that incorporated all of this plus the new method of running it. If you have not seen it here you can see it :

Tom C has already outlined some very good points about the SG in the very first post of this thread.
The Window motor can be used with a low drag generator as John had shown us in pictures on his pages, but this would be a different machine and not an SG.
