Also, each time an idea (opinion) has been postulated on this thread, I've gone and done whatever research I could, and in every case IN AUSTRALIA the cost has not been justifiable.
Now to throw another consideration into the fray, since the acquisition of an idler motor is mandatory in all instances, if one were to forcibly drive an idler motor with say, a diesel motor, (motors from old banged up utes are not so hard to get), would it produce all three phases?
