It shouldn't have to stay stationary I think? As long as the shaft rotates at a different rate to the body, there should be some power generated. That's why I mentioned the need for gears.
Overall though it's certainly not going to be good enough to justify the complexity compared to either slip rings or wireless transmission.
- sowbug 3y agoI think I get it now. Maybe the main rotor rotates at 6,000 rpm, the geared assembly has a 10-1 reduction so it rotates at 600 rpm (giving the LEDs 10 fps), and the 5,400 net rpm difference is used to generate power. Yes, maybe that would work.
