Say you find the right magnets, or cut them to size, use more down vertically and add them stacked to reach the 2.5 inches...say you finish your rotor...You will STILL, NOT get out the same way as you will obtain of a real AC Winding Generator...they ARE NOT THE SAME, and I have made (specially for you) the Diagram below, trying for you to see what I mean:

Take a look again at your windings at stator...they should look like in FIG 1...meaning they are piled together comprehending "X" number of poles...then they jump to another 'Layer' to wind same thing.
The way a dedicated winding for an AC Generator for the Induced Coils works...is like shown on FIG 2...Notice they have each coil winding jump every SINGLE POLE...and I only drew a single line...but they are several strands of wire on each slot...now this guarantees that EVERY SINGLE SLOT is gonna have several VERTICAL WIRES that would be inducing currents at every single degree of rotor movement...so you get a ROBUST AC OUTPUT.
Understand now my friend?
I mean, I do not want to disappoint you about your project...but at the same token, I feel it would be worst that after all that trouble...you do NOT have out whatever Energy Rate you were expecting.
Even if you take apart that winding...and try to rewind it according to FIG 2...still, all the resistance, number of turns, wire gauge and area of 'induction' (number of poles) MUST BE CALCULATED accordingly, in order to output the required AC 120 V and say 15 Amps at a specific speed (RPM's), say 'conventional' 3600.
That switch, like you said...is not needed for AC Generator, HOWEVER, that switch turns on and off the Two Speeds of Two Different Windings-Layers on Stator...so make sure you choose the lowest resistance one, in order to get a more robust AC (Amps wise)...
The Guy on video you linked previously shows an output of like 50 Volts, after all that trouble...but HOW MANY AMPS?...I did not see he measured that parameter.
Final point am trying to get at...is that I do not want you to expect to make that small motor output like even the same size dedicated AC Generator. And am not saying you will not get anything at all...you will, and to 'prove a point' is fine...but for real applications it won't work.
Regards my Friend!
