Shipboard Elevator Magnetic Sensor Development. Phase I, Laboratory Investigations.

Abstract

In Phase I of the shipboard elevator magnetic sensor investigation, various types of magnetic sensors and detectors were reviewed with regard to their applicability to the elevator problem. The principles of the two most promising types of magnetic sensor were experimentally studied in greater detail. The principles studied were those of the flux-meter and the flux-gate magnetometer. Of these two, the flux-gate magnetometer principle was selected as the most suitable for the elevator application and development into a prototype sensor.
