I'm trying to build a tesla turbine. I'm trying to follow the instructions here. However, the turbine calls for neodymium magnets, which I can't seem to find. Would other magnets work?

You don't really need magnets at all - you can just glue them together, using just about anything for a spacer.
 
I'm having ads for neodymium magnets on this very webpage.
 
@russ watters - Ah. I see. Thank you very much.
@Dr Lots-o'watts - Thank you, but I prefer not to buy things over the internet.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
