Because that would make the performance be overall unchanged from the power trying to power two sets of flywheels at a time. Afterburners use Jet A-1 fuel and electric powered compressors to accelerate to speeds well beyond normally attainable velocities. Typical performance exceeds Mach 2.7.

Oh wait, wrong Afterburners. Doh !

Check out this thread. They talk all about Afterburners.
