There has been much discussion of slip rings in the past, unless I'm mistaken no-one has actually built a tank with one however.
The two paths people seem to take (myself included) is either a cord (think telephone or coily keyboard cable) which would give enough for at least 3 full turret rotations, or a standalone turret with no cables/pipes/etc passing from turret to body.

Has anyone used audio jack plugs for slip-ring electrical connections between the tank body and turret? I don't know if a 2 or 3mm connector would withstand the energy of a tank circuit, but a common jack should provide 3 connections. Just an idea... What methods have been used before? —Mike Måne Message sent by way of mobile device
