MOBILE ANGULAR POSITION DETECTOR RELATIVE TO GRAVITY VECTOR AND METHOD OF APPLICATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01C21/10 

FIELD: physics; measurement.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to methods and facilities of space orientation based on gravity measurements for the benefits of navigation and directly in geodetic gravimetry. Detector applied to implement measuring procedure of gravity vector tracing in any attitude position is three integrated identical astatic gravity transformers assembly, rigidly mutually aligned on the same base. And one gravity meter mentioned above corresponds to each of three rectangular coordinate planes of detector. Measuring axis of gravity meter axis is perpendicular to this plane, while sensitivity axis is perpendicular to the plane which is parallel to measuring axis. Sensitivity axes of all three transformers (gravity meters) are transversely-spaced. Detector can be used as gravity roll stabiliser for mobile control and position sensing systems, as mobile overland, afloat and airborne gravity meter for meeting challenges of gravity prospecting in exploration activity and other gravity researches simultaneously.

EFFECT: design of the device applied to implement measuring procedure of gravity vector tracing.
