Wind turbine science project

Hi guys,

My friend and i want to make a wind turbine for our science project.
The design that we want to go with is the 3 bladed one with a single phase alternator.

In which there is a cylindrical magnet which has north and south on the curved side with 2 coppper coils on either side.

I have searched around for a magnet like this (attached) on australian sites and i cannot find one.this one is from england and shipping costs heaps.So do any of you guys know where we can buy one here in Australia.It is 20mm by 20mm with a 6mm hole in it.

Thanks in advance

Ps-have any of you guys made one of these?
