It is his scalar pole concept, but it isn't a "beamer" without a modulating coil. No toothpicks in gaps, all laser cut to be that way. I wanted to use clear poly for the rotor but really not strong enough, and I kept breaking them sliding the magnets in to such tight fits for high speed. I ended up going with thin plywood for the rotor for better strength. I was originally just going to redesign my mini monopole motor for easier experimentation, but then couldn't resist adding all the "bells and whistles" like scalar poles and generator coils. From what I remember John saying, I think the scalar poles are tougher to do with a trigger winding, so may need to do hall switching on this.
