Answer 1

I remember recently watching a Tom Scott video about Slip Rings, I found this really informative and interesting.. perhaps you will too…

This is a similar way of working to tanks, but unlike most of the mechanical ones mentioned here this also has sewage and water pipes. So clever and fascinating.
