This may ir may not work depending on the type of motor you are using. A
simple diode in series will provide an equivelant of 87 V if your motor
will
tollerate 1/2 wave power.

	I can't imagine any AC motor (brush type excluded, of course), at least
of appreciable power, that wouldn't saturate and smoke if fed with
half-wave rectified DC.
