Superconducting gyrometer - has three superconducting coils capable of generating constant magnetic field in three perpendicular planes

摘要

The gyrometer consists of three similar superconducting rings which are concentric in three perpendicular planes. When the structure turns at the vector speed OMEGAe with respect to an inertial reference and field is driven at the speed OMEGAb with OMEGAb=a6e, a is strictly between 0 and 1 and is a function of the geometry of the structure. The direction of the field at the centre of the structure is used as reference to for a gyroscopic measurement in the structure reference. The components of the field being measured by a conventional method. The device is fitted with a cooling and isolation system with respect to the eternal magnetic field. USE - For measuring a rotation of gyro reference with respect to a star reference.
