If you want to understand the result (how well it works), here's a fairly simple way to do it:

Get a CIM, an 8mm hub and key, and a moderately heavy wheel (e.g. an 8" kit wheel), and connect them in the obvious way, but without a gearbox. Actually we won't be doing anything fast, so don't worry about keeping the hub from falling off the shaft other than orienting the CIM vertically with the wheel above it.

With the CIM leads open, give the wheel a spin by hand and notice how long it runs.

Then, twist the two leads together and repeat.
