Transfer of AC through rotating capacitor

In summary, NascentOxygen said that it would be difficult to make a capacitor large enough to use for high-energy transfer to a rotating component, but slip rings may be a feasible option.

Yes your right sophie a drawing or a schematic would benefit greatly

So let's wait until you produce a picture and we will have a better idea of what you actually want. It is too much of a moving target for you to expect proper answers.

Well then I guess if using high frequency inductive coupling is better since I get no wearing parts except the shaft bearings.

I guess there's nothing else one can do about this situation except a comutator/slip rings or em induction.
Go out and find an old VCR inside you will find a rotating head that is coupled to outside power through a rotating transformer. The power is quite low but it works and is in common use. Hope this helps.

Scavenging and repurposing should always be the source of first choice!
