Abstract
The improved homopolar generator includes a unit carrying the brushes which may be easily removed from the yoke structure. The unit includes brushes, a portion of the return conductor and a movable segment of the yoke, and rides along tracks extending from within the yoke cavity to a position outside of the yoke cavity. The yoke segment included in the unit fits into a mating opening in the yoke, and the magnetic field created by the field coil holds the movable yoke segment in position against the yoke.
