I believe its the same type out thing with the battary terminals, when the plugs spark I'm sure they have electromagnetic attraction

full break down on how to read plugs. Not sure how diffrent it'll be since rotary plugs aren't the 'normal' style of plug but should still give you a good idea i hope.
