Hi Paul,

Still a bit stuck with  implementing torque meter.

When I search for drive shaft torque meters I have found ones like
on this website

We are not measuring the torque on the input shaft directly.

We are measuring the reaction of the helical gear to applied torque.

I sent this before so make a folder called torque meter and copy
them to that folder.

Zahid,
You can also install it under the loaded side mount where the engine torque
will press down on it.
You can use a small hydraulic ram like from a porta-power or make your own.
Just needs a hole in the center for the bolt. Zero the pressure gauge with
just the engine weight on it. Another way is a piezo load sensor.

Here are a few pictures of what you are talking about Dale.
