As long as the direction in which the dynamo is turned remains the same then yes, it is essentially the same as a D/C generator, albeit a small, weak one. If the rotational direction of the dynamo keeps changing it becomes an A/C generator (the current flows one way, then the other). This would require some form of charging capacity such as a battery or capacator in order to have any usefull purpose. Generally speaking, A/C generators & inverters either 1)are powered by fuel engines, or 2)require much more input than a dynamo could feasibly provide in order to carry out their particular function. A typical example of an A/C generator is a Welding machine. (You could not run a welder off a dynamo!)
A dynamo is an electrical generator.

The picture above is a dynamo- a large electrical generator.

Weak machines fear it because it measures horsepower and torque.
dynamo
The first dynamo or electric generator was invented by Michael Faraday in 1831. Although it functioned as one, it was not a pure dynamo because it lacked a commutator.
The generator
Generator or dynamo
Dynamo is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Its a generator. How can a generator have a wife?

It may be called a generator, alternator or dynamo.
