Slip Ring System

Slip rings for a project are very expensive to purchase. Most of the lower cost versions will not carry current for POV led systems. This slip ring design was made for a 3D POV system for a student. The brushes were recovered from an old DC motor. The ring part themselves are more of the universal design that should be easily modified by changing the inside diameter to fit the motor shaft. This design is for a .5" motor shaft.

Additional: This has been working like a champ. The power is consistent when delivering 3+ Amps. Since parts are just what-ever is around, please use this design as an example. The concept is solid and it does perform well.
