Would Faraday's homopolar motor / generator work if it was rearranged to have the magnet as the disc and conductor / coils where the magnet used to be? A brushless version essentially.

Something tells me no, but I'm still doing rapper impressions at my desk.
I here these things are good for generating huge pulses of current at low voltage (current path is a short, thick solid copper volume from the disc's centre brush to it's perimeter, which is in a bath of mercury), I'm wondering if they could be rearranged to produce higher voltages.
