Telemetric Torque Measurement System, Jason Joseph, Francisco Sinta, Jeff Williams Apr 1997

Telemetric Torque Measurement System, Jason Joseph, Francisco Sinta, Jeff Williams

Honors Theses

The Telemetric Torque Measurement System(TTMS) was designed to measure the torque produced by a snowmobile engine. The design of the TTMS was refined and modified in stages, leading to the final design. The TTMS consists of two basic sections: the transmitter section and the frequency demodulator section. The transmitter section effectively measures the torque on a snowmobilejack-shaft. The torque signal is converted into a voltage which is then fed into a voltage to frequency converter and converted into an audio tone. This tone is broadcast in the FM broadcast band via an FM transmitter. An FM receiver then receives the …
