• For smaller objects and shorter distances, GPS is not a solution. Detecting
the velocity for such objects requires different references

Working Principle of DC tachometer
h: height of coil
2r: width of coil
n: number of turns of coil
ωc :angular speed
β: flux density of magnetic
field
k: sensitivity of the
tachometer
Gyroscopes
• A gyro is comprised of a
massive disk free to rotate spin axis
about a spin axis which itself
is confined within a platform
framework that is free to
rotate about one or two
axes.
• Hence, depending on the
number of rotating axes, input axis output axis
gyros can be either of a
single-, or two-degree-of-
freedom type.
Rotary Gyroscopes
platform
T: applied torque
: angular velocity of the spin
axis
I: moment of inertia of the input axis output axis
rotating mass applied torque output torque
: angular velocity of precession.
