DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR AN INERTIAL SENSOR TECHNIQUE
Abstract
This program demonstrated the feasibility of a new gyroscope technique for sensing inertially derived control data. This technique measures centrifugal pressures at the surface of a spinning fluid sphere. These pressures represent displacement of the container axis from that of the fluid and are converted to electrical signals by microphones. The two gyroscope models which were built demonstrated low random drift (0.02 degrees hr), large linear range (<0.1 degrees hour to 4 degrees/second with 2% accuracy), short warm-up time (less than 2 minutes), and design simplicity. They are two-axis gyroscopes.
