This is my 'Rubber Band Joule Thief' being used as a driver for a pulse motor.  The motor part of this is operated using attraction and repulsion of permanent magnets.  It is an unusual and inefficient  way to turn a rotor but demonstrates the action of many so called "permanent magnet motors" shown here on YouTube.  Those motors need a small amount of energy input to operate. Usually "Mr. Hand" (or some other hidden power source) is involved.  Here I use my 'RBJT' to get the job done.
