The present invention relates to an improved rotor slip ring design (14) for a homopolar generator which incorporates the concept of channeling the magnetic flux lines (47, 81) and channeling the electric current flow path (36) to separate the flux lines (47, 81) from the current flow path (36) and thereby reduce back emf. The separation is achieved through the principles of an electric current flowing through a path of least electrical resistance and a magnetic field seeking a path of least magnetic reluctance. |
