How can I make an elevator that goes up while twisting like in this video? (The man that made this used an old printer)

In this case it looks like the lift and rotation elements are mechanically separate ie the lift mechanism sits on a rotating turntable.
Here the key element is to be able to provide electrical power to a rotating assembly, I can't see in detail how this is done in this particular case but slip rings would be the conventional solution.
