If you Google "electrical slip ring wind turbine" you get a pretty good selection of choices. They are all for low speed(~250 RPM), I don't know what your application is. I also assumed that you were not trying to transfer any load though them.

The one I used is made by Moflon, three wires, 30Amp and cost me about $30. MW1330 is the model I have. As always your mileage will vary.

If you are after just doing control signals, Adafruit has some low voltage, low current ones. 2A / 6 wires ~$15 plus shipping.
