hydraulic generators with wind turbines

06/22/2008 3:45 PM

I am building a turbine to drive a hydraulic generator. I know the torque required to drive the hydraulic motor (83 ft lbs) but how do I measure the torque produced by the shaft of the turbine. Is there some kind of guage for measuring this
