I don't think so. I looked that one up since I'm in the same boat lately and I think all Tesla did was replace the commutator by a conducting belt that goes to another rotor. Since I want as much people talking about the homopolar motor as possible I advice you to visit my thread.
What I concluded now is that instead of rotating the conductor you should let the magnet causing the magnetic field rotate. This is simply Newton's third law. Magnet pushes on wire but wire pushes back on magnet. If you fixate one the other will rotate.
Why people haven't come up with this baffles me. Maybe magnets in Faraday's time were too heavy and/or too weak in his time to see this. Because when the magnet is rotating there's no changing field from the conductors viewpoint. This is what Faraday has shown and is called the Faraday paradox. Thus current remains constant which equates to a constant torque no matter what velocity the rotor is spinning. A conducting disk homopolar motor goes to zero torque as the disk speeds up because the faster it spins the bugger the counter voltage becomes untill it turns the current 0.
I'm going to go to a university where I'm officially a student (but never go to classes) and trick the professor in answering this conclusion himself.

Faraday's Generator
Did Tesla use Faraday's generator design to build an over unity generating
device? If so, where can I get a copy of it. Here is one such page, but doesn't show Tesla's design influence on it. Over-Unity Faraday Generator Page
