Hey guys, i need someone experienced with wireless transmission to give me a hand here.
I'm trying to build POV display id you don't know what that is watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVOgsUOslMs&t=1s
And the problem i have is with how to power the rotating part. I was thinking about wireless power transmission but can't find a guide how to send power up to 9V - on lower voltages all you need is coil and transistor.

Just do what they do for tank turrets. Make a slip ring.
Why not brushes? That's how DC motors get power to the spinning electromagnets.
I've done some wireless power stuff. It's a transformer with air between the coils instead of ferrite. You need AC on the primary coil and bridge rectifier, decoupling, and maybe regulator on the secondary coil to get DC. The regular transformer rules apply, you just lose a lot of current from the poor efficiency caused by no ferrite core. Vp/Vs = Np/Ns = Is/Ip . Get more voltage out by putting more voltage in or changing the difference in number of turns between primary and secondary coils.
Put magnets on the base, coils on the spinning part to make a generator.

>a brass/copper ring with a brush sounds more difficult than sending power over the air

if your using 2 bushes they would have constant contact, noise would be minimal. what ever means your using to make it spin would cause more noise due to intermittent contact of its brushes.

Besides, noise would just be on the power feed.
Bog simple to filter.

Look up how to build a tesla coil. Thats pretty much all you need to know, they are relatively simple circuits, and you could custom make one to provide whatever voltage you need via the ratio of turns. The problem with wireless transmission in your applications is
1) it needs to be AC you cannot wirelessly transmit DC unless you are arcing out millions of volts.
2) the surrounding electronics need to be able to tolerate stray/high voltages.
Wireless transmission works better with higher voltages. Since you are inducing a voltage in another coil via the air all the nearby conductors will also get an induced voltage. As others have said go with brushes and slip rings. It will be cheaper, way easier, and they wont make that much noise. Some are pretty close to silent.

Why not use the same technology as a brushless motor?

Brushless motor doesn't need brushes because the electromagnets are stationary and the permanent magnets spin. They don't need to get electricity into something that's spinning.
