Introduction
In order to estimate mechanical power delivered by a rotating machine, it is necessary to measure two variables, torque (T) and angular velocity (omega). Angular velocity is typically measured using an encoding wheel. Commercial torque gauges are typically very expensive and operate over a range that is too large for small desktop projects. In this project, we will construct a small torque gauge that is based on a spaceframe (3D-truss) together with commercially available strain gauges.
