Design of a Single Axis Rate Table to Measure Angular Motion of a Mems-Based Gyroscope

An object was placed or hanged on the proper area, where it could sit at rest. That is to say an inclined track for the cart, and a ring stand for both the pendulum and a mass attached at the end of a spring. Hereafter, a motion detector was connected to a computer via a lab quest and was brought in close proximity with the object. After that, the motion detector sensitivity switch was set to ball/walk or track depending on the object’s motion which is being studied. From here, the appropriate file for plotting an object’s graphs was opened on the desktop. Then, from here, everything was in place for data collection. (Photos below).

The purpose of this experiment was to create a model that showed the motion of a spinning body and to test the accuracy of said model. The model was created by calculating the measurements of the orbital period of a stopping mass for six varying mass ratios and then comparing them to the model equation derived from the equation for centripetal force. The primary results of the lab were in agreement with the predicted values, therefore our degree of confidence in our data was high.

The Raw Values Raises Questions in the Forums, Since the Raw Values Might Seem Unstable. Below Are The Raw Values Of The Sensor That I Measured, So You Can Compare Them With Your Own Raw Values.

Loosen the retaining screw and adjust the horizontal arm to the dimple that produce the 2nd largest radius between the spinning mass and the rotating shift. Allow the spinning mass to hang straight down, without being connected to the spring. Position the pointer directly below the tip of spinning mass and secure the pointer to the base. Use the scale located on the base to determine the radius, r, of the pointer from the rotating shaft. Record this value onto Data Sheet A. The experimental uncertainty in r is estimated to be the width of the spinning mass tip – approximately 0.2 cm.

Therefore, it is really necessary to test this sensor for different loads, before integrating it with the chess-robot for simulation.

Introduction During this lab you will become more familiar with the concepts of torque. The purpose of this lab is to determine if the rotational equilibrium condition, Στ = 0, holds experimentally.

interrupted and so the number of rotations can be measured. The frequency of rotations depends on the flow of air so a flow signal can be generated.

Structure analysis is very important in design of MEMS devices in order to optimize the device performance. In the following step of this paper an analysis of a doubled ended tuning fork in the presence of an axial forced is performed. Then scale factor for this sensor is derived from relationship between natural frequency of the resonator and the applied

In this experiment we first tried to find an experimental value for g. This was done by dropping a golf ball below a sensor that would read and chart the position vs time graph and the velocity vs time graph. From this we could receive an equation and numbers that are useful in finding the velocity and acceleration of the ball in order to find the experimental g value. Then we did another experiment in which we would hold out a ruler between another person's index finger and thumb and then drop it, measuring how many centimeters it took for them to catch the ruler. Using this and an equation we could measure their reaction time.

The axis of a gyroscope is capable of maintaining balance due to an equilibrium of a spinning wheel that resists change in direction.

The amount of times the cups spins is the speed it is going. The anemometer gives out the speed in feet per a minute. Meteorologist use the anemometer to tell whether patterns.(crutchfield) They also use it to measure the jet stream.there is a lot of people that use the anemometer .Not just meteorologist use the anemometers they make it for your phone too.

One of Galileo’s inventions is the pendulum clock. In 1602, Galileo recorded his observation that a pendulum has a constant period. He then tested this hypothesis and came up with the conclusion that it is true. 39 years later, Galileo came up with the idea that the pendulum could be used to keep track of time. Since the pendulum had a constant period, Galileo used the swing of the pendulum to lift a “pawl”, which allows a gear to turn for a certain amount, until the

The MEMS has major markets in automotive pressure sensors, medical sensors and process control sensors and also the MEMS sensor technology are used to build micro motors.

The objective of this practical is to determine acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ using the simple pendulum model. This is shown when a period of oscillation is seen to be independent of the mass of the mass ‘m’.
