Revolving stage

Another guy I know who does an extreme Christmas display uses Merotac slip rings for electric to his carousels. Is this what you are referring to when you suggest using brushes to transfer electric?

Nope. We built our brush systems in house using a combination of purchased and hand fabricated parts. A system such as the slip rings would require us to run power up the center pivot, something that is rather difficult to do with a solid steel rod. Our brushes ride along a series of copper rings installed on a disk around the center pivot rod.
