ANALYSIS OF A FEEDBACK SYSTEM CONTAINING A GYROSCOPE
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4337052
This study analyzes a feedback system which consists of a gyroscope with a magnetized rotor spinning within a coil of wire. Because the equations for the motion of a gyroscope are nonlinear, certain assumptions were made to linearize the system for mathematical analysis. A servoloop was established using the Laplace transformation and a compensation system was designed to stabilize the servosystem. Limits of stability were found and an analog computer was used to check the various computations. Instabilities in the system caused by nonlinearities were corrected by interchange of error signals, a method suggested for any analog computations of circuit analysis. (auth)
