The closest thing I've seen to what you are describing is an older automotive 
horn button part.  Under the stearing wheels, there is a disc with a couple 
circular tracks of copper that contacts ride on to allow the steering wheel to 
spin freely without twisting horn wires.  It would work I think.

Subject: [TANKS] Turret traversing - circular electrical contacts


Has anyone built/used/found some kind of circular electrical contact
solution for turrets? The idea being that to get electrical
connectivity from the hull to the turret, and still be able to turn
360 degrees all day long, I need to get electrical contacts through
some kind of circular connection.

This is rather than using wires which will get twisted by turret
rotation. I realise that most of the time turrets are never going to
get rotated enough to worry to much about twisted wires, but it would
be nice not to have to worry about it at all and just be able to turn
around and around without hinderance.

I don't think I explained that very well, but hopefully it makes
sense :)
