Scroll to the bottom of this page. I think these are the kind of magnets you might try.
These are neodymium motor magnets.

It looks great, Thanks.

ERfinder,
The large diagram of the magnet ring looks like 8 magnets but on the yahoo forum you stated four magnets.  I assume the number of magnets is not important as long as they close the circle?  Correct?  (Ordering some now)

Coil winding -   The diagram looks like all the coils (primary and secondary) are wound in a counter clockwise direction TOWARD the magnet ring.  Correct?

Just for confirmation, is this how is intended the rotary switch? (I still have trouble to figure what happens when EM field from secondary is collapsing - there has to be a LOT of HV spikes dumped into the battery)

Secondly, the HV capacitor in what kind of voltage range should be?

Thanks.

Erfinder,

When you say "ignition coil", I imagine you mean the basic design of the ignition coil; a single layer coil wrapped around some sort of soft iron - like a Tesla coil with a core.  I say this because if you used a commercial ignition coil, you would have a lot longer wire than 144 inches.  I am very curious about the 144 inch secondary and the primary of equal weight but larger diameter.   

I have figured out why you are using a 24 pole switch (I think).  If you use 144 inches for each secondary coil, and connect them in series, you will have 576 inch wire total.  The square root of 576" is 24 - thus the 24 poles. 

Hrmmm, I think I might be starting to understand this a little better.  I remember reading in a book that Lord Kelvin related Tesla's magnifying transformer to an electrical musical instrument after Tesla explained to him how it worked.  What you seem to be saying is that the magnetic field resonants at a particular frequency that is an OCTAVE of the speed of light.  The length of coil is important because it makes an antenna-like connection to the radiating magnetic field of the permanent magnets.  However, instead of trying to match the length to the actual frequency of light, you match it to an octave (maybe all magnetic fields are simply octaves of light).  Thus, the wire is 144 inches instead of miles.  I still haven't figured out why the primary must be roughly the same physical mass - maybe because there needs to be roughly the same amount of atoms in both coils?

If I'm getting warmer let me know haha!

PS in your first post you said that the primary had to be 144 inches long, and in this more recent one you say the secondary has to be 144 inches long... I think your first post is a typo, but correct this if I'm wrong.
