The Cryogenic Gyro
Conference paper
Abstract
The development of inertial guidance systems depends on finding methods to eliminate all unpredictable forces from the inertial element. In the gyro field, engineering techniques have been pushed almost to the limit in the design of mechanical rotor supports that minimize friction, A promising alternative to mechanical suspension is the use of the pressures exerted by electromagnetic fields.
