Would it be possible to create a tesla coil with o primary, but instead a
bunch of powerfull rotating permanent magnets?
It would seem that that would create much higher voltages in the secondary
that the usuarl primary would.
If anybody has the resources to build a tc like this, it wuld be quite
interesting.
I would suggest attaching some neodynium magnets to a steel cable  and
attaching a motor to one end of the cable. Run the cable through some holes
or bearings around the secondary in a circle. Leave the other end of the
cable free. You can get the perfect peice of steel cable and the perfect
motor in the form of a Dremel tool and Demel extention attatchment.

You are trying to make an electric generator. It is possible to make a generator that produces frequencies in the tens of kHz, by using many poles and rotating the thing fast. Tesla himself experimented with this. A kind of DRSSTC could be built, powered by a generator of this type. The most basic generator would be a single magnet rotating inside a coil. But to make high frequency with this would be mechanically impossible. With many coils properly placed and interconnected, the generation of a frequency that is a high multiple of the rotation frequency is possible.
