homopolar driving circuit

[gtorrisi]

Hi to all!
What kind of topology is used in order
to drive homopolar motors?
Does anybody know where to reach a schematic
of a driving circuit??

thanks

Please, notice that the topology and schematic will depend on what kind of homopolar motor you have in mind, e.g. rotary, linear, superconducting, etc.
