Well, short question, I need to send 5 volts between two moving parts, like the famous "propeller clock" or like in a slot car.
What I'm trying to find is some nice rigid contacts to attach to a PCB, so they can slide over another PCB to transfer the 5 volts.

A split ring commutator can be fashioned from copper tubing and epoxy and bruch holders from brass tubing and pc board.
