Text: "Practical homopolar machines: use of liquid-metal slip-rings." Describes the use of liquid-metal slip-rings for the Faraday disk generator. Turbulence and other problems are discussed. Details of an experimental 5-kw homopolar generator are shown, with photos. GEC-AEI Journal of Science and Technology (London, Great Britain). 38(2), 1971. pp. 46-54.
