MAGNETOSPHERIC GYROSCOPE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: navigation. SUBSTANCE: given gyroscope is designed for use in the capacity of biaxial inertial unit. It includes spherical rotor, two-coordinate angle-data transmitter and torque generator, upper and lower stators of suspension of rotor with electromagnetic windings, resonant capacitors and diode damping bridges. Bridges are connected in series with electromagnetic windings. Gyroscope also has unit generating acceleration components and electric motor. Spherical rotor is provided with current carrying belt. Correction circuits are placed into diagonals of diode damping bridges. Unit generating acceleration components incorporates adders and amplifiers-converters. Inputs of adders are connected in parallel to inputs of correction circuits by pairs for each of four suspension axes of rotor. Inputs of first amplifier-converter are connected to outputs of first and third adders. Inputs of second amplifier-converter are linked to outputs of second and fourth adders. Outputs of third amplifier-converter are connected to outputs of all four adders. EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities. 3 dwg
