An electrical joint that couples electric signals and current between objects that move relative to one another. A conductive slurry is disposed upon a first object and a conductor extends from a second object to engage the conductive slurry. The slurry comprises conductive particle suspended in a fluid carrying agent, such as oil. A non-conductive gel may be disposed upon the exposed surface of the conductive slurry to retain and protect it. The conductive slurry and non-conductive gel may be disposed within a channel on the object's surface so as to define their position and retain them in the desired area. The position of the conductive slurry is oriented and aligned to maintain continuous contact with the conductor as movement occurs. Linear, planar, circular and other movements are contemplated. The electrical joint can be readily adapted to printed circuit and printed wire technology.
