It is also known as a unipolar generator, acyclic generator, disk dynamo, or Faraday disc. The voltage is typically low, on the order of a few volts in the case of small demonstration models, but large research generators can produce hundreds of volts, and some systems have multiple generators in series to produce an even larger voltage.

A vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) (also referred to as a Foner magnetometer) is a scientific instrument that measures magnetic properties based on Faraday’s Law of Induction. Simon Foner at MIT Lincoln Laboratory invented VSM in 1955 and reported it in 1959. [1] Also it was mentioned by G.W. Van Oosterhout [2] and by P.J Flanders in 1956. [3]
Lord Rayleigh and James Dewar, prominent figures in physics and chemistry, served as the laboratory’s directors without remuneration. [2] The Prince of Wales praised the laboratory for its state-of-the-art facilities and its potential to advance scientific knowledge and innovation. [1] Research conducted in the Davy-Faraday Laboratory includes:
A disc generator has fluid flowing between the center of a disc, and a duct wrapped around the edge. (The ducts are not shown.) The magnetic excitation field is made by a pair of circular Helmholtz coils above and below the disk. (The coils are not shown.) The Faraday currents flow in a perfect dead short around the periphery of the disk.

"Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...
Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...
Fig. 4.—Faraday disc machine. Poisson, steeped in Coulomb's notions about magnetic action at a distance, essayed to build up a theory of magnetism of rotation, affirming that all bodies acquire a temporary magnetism in the presence of a magnet, but that in copper this temporary magnetism took a longer time to die away. In vain did Arago point ...
