Beautiful powerful demo of the using cfls coil and oscillator circuit with the special diode arrangement to get the RE, and just so happens you use a coil off your Asymm motor
Still working on the circuit myself, got nearly all of the driver/voltage reg circuitry together, waiting on a 4-pin IC socket for the opto-coupler to come in. I put in one IC before I caught on to using sockets. Had a little issue in that area where the red arrow is, the common pad at the link and the opto-coupler only had one hole in it. Managed to make another with a .5mm drill bit.

I am trying to step things up a bit but lots of difficulties, personal, weather here in single digits F, colds, worse. Stalled around commutator connection mechanisms on the motor. Using silver solder to make connections on the old wires on one commutator, but it dont flow as easy as regular solder, of course, and still practicing. Might try tinning with regular solder and then plating over with silver solder... Got a real sweet butane micro-torch, easily gets the temps for the silver solder... Oxidation an issue, any insulation left on mag wire, etc.
@Kogs, glad to hear you are on the mend. Those guys want both my hips :-(
Additional Comment 2/10/14: Good news, all regulator circuitry in place and applied power, getting 11.96v and 4.98v at the regulator outputs!! 4-pin socket in and installed. Spent more time on commutators, welding than anything else.
keep on truckin'
