Wow! Thanks all! I wasn't expecting all the comments (and thanks again!). I was just tickled ***less to actually be getting something like that suited to my needs.

Ghurd: Thanks for the link on your wheelchair charger! Actually, I got my plans started for the cieling fan conversion from your posts. Yes, I still have a couple inefficiencies here. The main one os the fridge. I'm keeping up with a 2-amp charger, and I added some to be able to keep ahead & any future additions. Don't worry, I'm not expecting THAT out of the cieling fan conversion.

tecker: thanks for the info on the wire-outs! That's what I have is a 16-coil, with 8 inner coils.

I found some 7/16 dia. x 7/16 long N52's I can get 16 of 'em for $32. Since these can easily be mounted on the outer ring, think these would put out anything? I have the material to wrap around that outer ring once the mags are in, to provide a good path for the outer flux. I know I may still be having to re-wind the coils with a heavier guage wire too, but not that far along yet.

Put up some pics of motor with some measurments to the mags  placed to limit the cog and get a lowspeed start.

Glad to hear something helped.

Sometimes the cheapest method to get the job done is Not the most efficient.
