How  about glueing the magnets to the inside of a copper tube, then place
two of them within sparking distance and rotate them via a long peice of pvc
during operation. That way, you can directly observe the effect of
attraction and repulsion...
However, Tesla always used the magnets perpendicular to the axis of the
spark. Maybe there's an advantage of doing it that way. I doubt he would've
wasted all that mica for nothing...
I would think a large magnet would be required for such an undertaking...
Maybe a ferrous chassis to focus the field?
This is definitely something to look into as it may provide some interesting
insights to electrical and magentic fields
Just my 2 cents...
