It is a generator, and when charged to a capacitor it can generate over 20,000 volts. Pretty cool.

A Wimshurst Machine (also known as a Whimhurst machine) is an electrical generator that preceeded van de Graaf generators, and was used to produce extremely high potentials. Lots of fun when connected to a pair of Leyden jars to store a very high charge.
