Abstract
An armature for conducting very large DC current between a pair of electrically conductive rails while being driven along the rails under the influence of electromagnetic forces generated by the application of the current includes a plurality of spiraled conductive fibers. These fibers pass through a sleeve and are compacted to a maximum packing density within the sleeve to form a single solidified connection. The brush assembly formed by the sleeve and fibers is mounted on an insulating support structure which is sized to slide between the rails of the electromagnetic launcher.
