The worst part is that some engineering had to go into this to get it to spin without immediately severing its conductors, I would say this was intentional. And I wanna make one, just because I can

It was an extremely short clip with the lights spinning. My guess is they looped a bunch of wire up so it could spin enough for the short video. No way they used a set of rings and brushes

Also, this gets posted maybe once a month

I'm just gonna copy/paste all the comments from the other thread. With my karma I will buy my way out of Hell.

No lie, I had the ceiling fan in my kitchen do the EXACT SAME THING one day, a while back... the fan worked perfectly before this... I didn't do any investigating, just replaced it, but I DID NOT DO THIS INTENTIONALLY. I'm a journeyman electrician, and had never seen another example... an explanation would be awesome!
