Might work with  a low power coil with a 3-4" piece of 10-32 threaded rod
(not much bigger than thick clothes-hanger wire) with a piece of delrin rod
or similar for isolation spinning between 2 or more fixed electrodes. A disc
of similar size is way too heavy. I used a modded can opener motor (55w) for
my portable one, struggled with a 4" disc (probable never locked on), does
fine with a 6-24 threaded brass rod with brass acorn nuts at each end (spins
up to speed in less than .5 sec). Still have yet to see the disadvantages of
this over a disc rsg.
