Abstract of the Disclosure A nonintrusive torquemeter for measuring torque in a shaft having variable reluctance as a result of torque stresses developed in the shaft. The torquemeter includes an annular first coil disposed axially about the shaft, a second coil wound about the first coil coaxially of the annular axis of the first coil to be in space quadrature therewith, structure for mounting the coil assembly coaxially about the shaft to include the shaft in the magnetic flux coupling path between the coils, and structure for providing a signal corresponding to the voltage developed in the pickup winding as a result of changes in the magnetic reluctance of the shaft resulting from torque developed therein. One of the coils is electrically excited to define an excitation winding, and the other of the coils serves as a pickup winding, with the coils being effectively uncoupled in the absence of torque in the shaft and being variably coupled as an incident of torque being developed in the shaft causing a corresponding change in the reluctance thereof.
