All I am trying to eastalish is if a light friction contact possibly used to conduct the current on to and off of the shaft has any chance of working.
Slip rings are used in some motors and generators and often use some mercury to make contact. However it might be possible to rig up such a contact in many ways. Would it not be good to identify if the ball bearings play a real part in this?
