Wingnut, my motor model had a resistance of 62.5 Ohms. Your DMM isn't going to catch this short pulse. Also note that the author's photo indicated an unloaded motor with a piece of tape on the armature shaft so he could see it move.
Also, and as I said before, I think this circuit is best suited for use with a Super Cap.
