In this setup, 2 outer rims are connected by the brace chain and thus it will behave as 2 shorted terminals. that is what we are not observing any potential differences.
You can increase output voltage by increasing the distance from the center to the magnetic circumference been keeping the same dimension. Increasing the distance, making new conductor that electrically isolated from the magnet, in a spiral that each wire will be longer, higher the resistance ( lower the amperage, increase the voltage) but power remain the same.
Ever since I learned about Teslas ideas I've been fascinated by this design of his. Great to see it in actual operation. I notice your copper disks have gear teeth. If they were to mesh together tightly would gear teeth work as well as a conductive chain?
I suppose it wouldn´t work that good because the contact surface is tiny. If I recall well from reading the patent or Tesla´s comments a chain in form of an 8 and having the disks counter-rotating would even be preferable. That would be interesting to try. We might do just that. When looking at the Farady disk set-up and having all the action at the rims, it it surprising to see Tesla´s idea to work and having the voltage/different potentials gathering at the axles. I wonder it it has to do with the disks rotating in the same plane. It is still not clear how to explain Faraday set-up vs Tesla.
Great! How can we use current? Does really large current can be produced? I think tesla two disk generator have more contact surfaces between two outer rim, at least half of the rims. It would be much better current collecting then just one point. But can you show me to turn a large load that works with even this low voltage. Such as small dc motor?
The Joule thief we have works with a 2.5V LED. We tested the Joule thief and the light goes on when the Voltage is above 400mV. The problem is we don`t get 400mV out of the Faraday disk at 2000-3000 RPM. We would have to turn it much faster. We'll try that out in the coming days.
How about winding a wire like toroid but not too closely. Then instead of short radius of one disk but long wire makes voltage higher. I think if you put metal in between the wire wounding, it will shield other side or attach another magnet like sn- disk wrie -ns.
Great job testing Tesla's "unipolar" generator. If you still have the this setup in tacked I would suggest two different testing. 1- Take a piece of wire and test the out put by shorting it. To see if there is any amp out put? You can even use a amp meter testing it. depending whether AC or DC circuit puts out. 2- I wonder if the discs suppose to be counter rotating?
thanks for this video, I am getting to this pretty long after posting, but it makes perfect sense after watching the video about the faraday disk.
Glad it was helpful!

if you make this a rotating mass storage, combined with the dynamo generator property, it would be nice storage-generator combo
have you tested radiation output of the faraday disc? what happends if you enclose it within faraday cage?
What radiation? EM radiation requires an alternating current, but here it's DC!
How long it rims or to stop?
It's 55mV between the axles, 64mV between inner rims and _minus_ 22mV between outer rims. Think about it.

The problem is finding a low V motor, same as a low V bulb.
@@scienceexxience can't you use a joule thief circuit to bost out voltage? Then use normal dc or led lights.

Tesla said u can run it this way or with counterrotating disks (but then u need to swith the magnetic poles of one disk, too)
