PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide simple structure and easy-to-install power supply means for a transmitter of a telemeter device at a low cost.SOLUTION: The power supply means includes: a strain gauge 22 attached to a rotary shaft 12; a transmitter 24 that is attached to the rotary shaft 12 and transmits a carrier wave which is modulated with a measurement signal obtained by the strain gauge 22; and a receiver 30 disposed at a stable place in a monitoring chamber etc., which obtains the measurement signal by receiving a carrier wave and demodulating the carrier wave. The power supply means also includes: a light emitting device 34 disposed adjacent to the rotary shaft 12 to radiate a light beam lb to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 12; a light receiving element 36 mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 12 irradiated with the light beam lb to receive the light beam lb and convert the received light beam lb into the power; and electrical circuits 40 and 52 that supply the power obtained by the light receiving element 36 to the transmitter 24 as a drive current a. |
