The drive is the easy bit.

The drive is the easy bit, it's the motor which is hard to get. There are probably dozens of people who can do a drive to suit the motor.

The drive consists of three power stages and a three phase source. The best power stage I know of is also the cheapest - a Class T amp with a toroidal step-up. This makes the power supply easy and cheap too.

The three phase source can be as simple as an Ipod and a $1 op-amp (which is fun but very inconvenient) or it can be a dedicated adjustable three phase oscillator. I'll stop there before I get accused of touting for business.
