After visiting N.A.M.E.S. and the Henry Ford museum years ago it gave me plenty of ideas to make a generator from a electric motor. I liked the shape of the Edison generators at the Henry Ford museum so some patterns were made copying those shapes and cast them in iron. I used a garbage disposal motor with a electronic speed controller so I could do many tests to see how well it would work. There was one problem to solve along the way, I used super glue to attach the magnets and the glue was not strong enough at a certain speed. So the glue was ditched and some magnets with holes were used with screws to make sure the magnets would stay in place. I was surprised as to how much the output from this generator was. Have look at my video making the generator.
