Abstract:
A brushless slip ring has a first conductive rotating member, and a second conductive non-rotating member that is positioned a predetermined distance away from the first conductive rotating member. A conductive semi-solid material electrically couples the first conductive rotating member to the second conductive non-rotating member. The semi-solid material is configured to transfer electric current from the rotating member to the non-rotating member.
