The download time for the video and animation might be long, try to copy to your drive if possible. I use windows media player to view them.
Let animation play through one time and then replay. Theory of operation being uploaded later tomorrow. Timing system for coil circuit open/close being drawn.
Thanks,
Butch

Excellent! Looks marvelous, quite ingenious as well. Knew you'd get one working sooner or later, congrats Butch! 

Omnibus, The system works like so: The rotor is attracted through the 'ramp' [Or flux spreader] you see as an ARC of metal connected to the coil. Once the rotor reaches the end of the ramp, the coil actuates to either nullify the flux or reverse it to repel or allow the rotor to pass, bypassing the notorious 'sticky spot'. In this motor it seems the magnets are within the rotor, with the flux flowing out into the rotor legs. The magnetic ramp becomes essentially part of the rotor, with the close proximity. Now, I think the coil can be used as a trigger/generator for timing and power generation, as the rotor enters the ramp the coil receives a flux change due to the magnet's presence and accordingly pulses at the appropriate time.

Right now I am not sure of the significance of the three other posts, but the 'ramp' would/could be repeated for each post, for more torque.

As far as the power goes, I think you'll find the electrical power required to keep it running is less than the mechanical output of the motor!
