Hi! well, I have been wondering about the way in which I can collect the energy produced by my future windmill. That is to say, I don't know what device to use set wires between the windmill itself and the batteries without the wires being entangled (since the windmill is spinning with each wind direction change)

Thanks in advance!
Strange, but not a stranger.

Two options drop wire with 15A extension cord, apparently handles the twists well. Can use the plugs to disconnect and reconnect for un-twisting.
or
slip rings
see Trev for an off the shelf solution on the site.
