Timing belt might work well.
On the subject a Wikipedia article says _flat_ belt drives of 'modern
materials' can handle up to 100 HP and are about 99% efficient.
I wonder how wide they should be, and I keep looking for some sort of
belts that might work, but I've never found a source. The slightly
domed pulleys (with or without sides) could be made on a lathe (even
a wood lathe).
