I think you were using one of the large hand-cranked field generators. The 
hand magnetos for the EE-8 field telephone turn an armature between magnetic 
poles.
It's kinda hard to see how you would get DC. They will put out close to 80-90 
Volts
if you crank fast. The frequency is low enuff to be very painful.
