Re: Hub cap spinning light bulbs
I guess I didn't look close enough to see the insulation. In my defence, this is not something that I plan on doing, so it's not that important.

Pretty ingenious Rube Goldberg set-up. Wonder who made this? Was this a one-off thing, or was this a kit some source like JC Whitney was selling back in the day? |

Re: Hub cap spinning light bulbs
I remember my dad describing the contact brush thing to me when as a kid I asked him how the restaurant seating part of the space needle can have electricity as it rotates 360 degrees in an hour. Clever guy that invented contact brushes. I have to think they were actually a wire brush at first, hence the name. Now I want to build a couple of wheel lights. Cool thread!

Re: Hub cap spinning light bulbs
Here's a pic that might help. In the earlier pic this wire looks like it's attached to the wheel which would be a short. It attches to the pigtail with the 2 bulbs.
