You need some way to get them in phase. Other than the phase problem it would work fine. AC voltage is modeled as a phasor. Think of this as say a 120 inch( volt) stick that spins in a circle. Let's say it spins counter clockwise. So East, North, West, South, back to east. As the stick goes up the voltage rises to 120V. Then the stick goes down to west and zero volts. Now the stick goes to south or -120V. Then it comes up to east at 0V. If one generator is at north and the other is at south they cancel each other out. If both are at north at the same time 120V + 120V is 240V. I suspect if you were good at motor/generators you could make it work.
