(PhysOrg.com) -- When a spinning laser gyroscope is placed near a super-cooled rotating ring, the gyroscope accelerates a bit in the same direction as the ring, and scientists aren’t sure why. The ...
Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...
WASHINGTON — U.S. Navy researchers are eying a new fiber optic gyro (FOG) inertial navigation system for their fleet of Ohio-class (SSBN 726) ballistic missile submarines that would replace the ...
