Slip rings.
They provide a continuous (non-reversing) connection to a rotating coil to carry AC off the rotor, which is characteristic of AC generators. Commutators, brushes and armatures are used in both motors and generators (note: some specialized motors — e.g. slip‑ring induction motors — do use slip rings, but in basic generator/motor comparisons slip rings are associated with generators).
