1. A transformer providing low restraint limited motion between transformer windings comprising:

  • first and second transformer windings having a common axis;

    first and second elements;

    a core structure of high permeability material surrounding and passing through said first and second windings to provide a high permeability flux circuit substantially free of low permeability gaps for mutual flux between said first and second transformer windings;

    said core structure being configured to contain said first and second transformer windings to permit relative motion therebetween;

    means for rigidly supporting said first and second transformer windings to said first and second elements independent of said core structure and each other to permit relative rotary motion therebetween about said axis;

    said core structure including apertures for said support means to accommodate limited relative rotary motion between said first and second transformer windings about said axis;

    said core structure providing a path for mutual flux of said first and second transformer windings substantially without air gaps therein without providing a low reluctance path to leakage flux.
