    Sure it is.  Its called 'cross phase'.  Has less than the
    full threephase power, more than phase to neutral.

    Some thought in handling grounds is needed.

    As to rotaries, if a huge three phase motor is handy,
    one can put power IN to all three phases, draw FROM
    phase to neutral or phase to phase and get highpower
    single phase: no magic, the motor windings need to
    be rated for the higher current... 

    (I'm being way brief...)
