Also the solid state relay and hall effect transistor does nothing that a diode would not do.
My simplified Circuit:
D2 was added to complete a path for Back EMF for the big coil and to protect the transistors.
D3 was added to replace the relay.
Bridge was removed and replace by D4 - third coil only conducts with BEMF from Big Coil - captures more power into the running cap.
This should work better - give it a try and let me know.
