Those were my thoughts as well. It's difficult forcing a good weld in without making a considerable amount of heat. If the brackets are designed to sit in a slot then a simple tack would work fine.

Brackets could be welded to the ring that would have a hole for threaded rod,( or simply drill the ring if its tall enough) then the wheel need only be drilled for the rods... ring spokes as it were....

We're all waiting to see what your going to do next VAWTman....

Hi Ed

The wheel is cast iron and i cant weld it nor would i with the mags near the weld zone.I tested a neo on my wood stove once and it's cool how it just fell off.

The bracket will be welded to the outer band though and installed has a completed assembly to the wheel using epoxy and bolts.I'm thinkin of making the brackets with 2in.x 3/16 same has used for the band.

I'm not sure if want to make the band adjustable or not yet.I'll probably set the gap at 1/2 in. and see how a test coil works.I can always make adjustment to them at a later date.

Havin fun
