A low voltage and low current means of transferring power to a rotating object. I'm not sure of the original intended application, but the suggestions of robotics and CCTV seem fairly plausible, although I'm not sure I'd trust them for a control or video signal.
The listing suggests they are good for 220V at 2A, but I'm inclined to disagree with that. If you want mains at decent current AliExpress has sets of chunky brass rings with carbon brushes.
