Penno64,
Very similar.
For those of you who are going to try this circuit with a DC motor, (with a battery OR a cap in the third position) the ground of the DC motor, the ground of the cap, and the ground of BOTH the primaries are all tied together through that diode. You might try running all to an earth ground without the diode and WITH the diode and see what it gets you. Be careful with this and make sure nothing overheats. I am running some other tests or would give that a try. I have had a similar circuit without the diode (but WITH an earth ground) with good results.
