1. A rotational rectifier assembly comprising:
a multiple of diodes circumferentially arranged about an axis of rotation, each of said multiple of diodes respectively radially biased by a biasing member into electrical contact by one of a DC conductor or an AC conductor into the other of said DC conductor or said AC conductor, each of said biasing members at least partially supported on an electrically conductive conductor post generally parallel to said axis of rotation.
