Abstract
A turbine wheel is mounted for rotation in a cylindrical housing at the end of rod, the housing and rod pass through a sleeve to insert the turbine wheel in a line to intercept fluid flowing therethrough. The rotational position of the rod is controlled as it passes through the sleeve to align the turbine wheel with the direction of flow through the line. A pickoff coil senses the rotation of the turbine wheel. Responsive to the pickoff coil, the sleeve and the rod are rotated as a unit to reduce the fluid intercepted by the turbine wheel.
