STUDY TO INVESTIGATE AND DEMONSTRATEFEASIBILITY OF A NUCLEAR GYRO
Abstract
An investigation into the applicability of solids in a nuclear gyroscope was made. The performance of rate and position gyroscopes was evaluated using experimentally determined characteristics of representative types of solids and some liquids, and a breadboard pulsed coil position gyro was fabricated to test principles and to provide direct experimental data on materials. It was concluded that normal solids would not admit inertial quality performance. However one exception was found. It was further noted that liquids categorically allow performance superior to solids.
