Don't know the size of your support mast for the panels but if you put a flat plate on your bottom tube one of these would last many years. Already weather sealed... I have used the next size down(2" mast) to support really heavy antenna loads...

All ways good to have options, I need to do a total remake of the top half, I was going to use a vehicle hub was my idea

Looks like either your drill press table is tilted or you didn't clamp the work piece down and it walked a bit...Aluminum is a pain to drill/cut the material will walk a LOT unless clamped tight

ok then unless Ed and Joe will reconsider their stance on letting me hang or actually helping me I will just for now wait until better minds come with better suggestions I can not know when I will erupt again but please trust that my lava is always reasonabl
Now dear TechAdmin. I think you trust that I hold you high to that is why I made my choices.
Make coils, build machine, test, make a new stator if needed, test, revamp the structural parts as needed, test... some things CAN NOT be 10% decided on pen and paper... guys with access to supercomputers even make mistakes running their models!
Your project has an audience. We await pictures.sorry my dear bother. I realize now that I am failing to hold 2 channels in equal status.

Check it out, we follow a standard of logic here, Basically we are a group of engineers. You are operating 3 ideas at once.
carry on.
well then do not bring forth said prophets if no one is willing to follow/defend them.
Thw waterwheel in this video looks like yours.
