An electrical current collector for an acyclic machine employs a stator collector ring which encircles a rotor collector ring and includes a plurality of fins protruding radially-inward from the stator collector ring into a plurality of compliant containment cages, respectively, each cage axially and circumferentially defining a raceway through which liquid metal flows in continuous contact with the rotor collector ring and the stator fin. The walls of the cages are made of resilient nonconductive material and when in a state of compression will exert a continuous bias toward the rotor collector ring.
