This is a modified brushless motor with four of the twelve stator arms wound to work with the Bedini SSG circuit. The motor will go into self oscillation when used with a CFL bulb. The motor works quite nicely as a battery charger when used in the conventional Bedini manner.
Note: When I first made this video I didn't know what a Blocking Oscillator was and didn't realize I was looking at another style Joule Thief. Even though this operates like one this would be a bad example. there are many builders on YouTube that have very effiecent Joule Thiefs that are worth building.
