Principles of design and the experimental development of a 10 kw homopolar generator with mercury current-collector rings are described. The machine provides pure direct current ranging from 10 te 16 ka at 1.0 to 0.625 v with an estimated efficlency of 91 to 8%, respectively. It has a cylindrical copper rotor and a coaxial compensating conductor of magnetic material. The potentiality of this class of machine in much larger sizes is indicated. (auth)
