Definitions and Meaning of gyrocompass in English

gyrocompass noun

  1. a compass that does not depend on magnetism but uses a gyroscope instead

    சுழிதிசைகாட்டி

Description

A gyrocompass is a type of non-magnetic compass which is based on a fast-spinning disc and the rotation of the Earth to find geographical direction automatically. A gyrocompass makes use of one of the seven fundamental ways to determine the heading of a vehicle. A gyroscope is an essential component of a gyrocompass, but they are different devices; a gyrocompass is built to use the effect of gyroscopic precession, which is a distinctive aspect of the general gyroscopic effect. Gyrocompasses, such as the fibre optic gyrocompass are widely used to provide a heading for navigation on ships. This is because they have two significant advantages over magnetic compasses:

  • they find true north as determined by the axis of the Earth's rotation, which is different from, and navigationally more useful than, magnetic north, and
  • they have a greater degree of accuracy because they are unaffected by ferromagnetic materials, such as in a ship's steel hull, which distort the magnetic field.

சுழிதிசைகாட்டி என்பது சுழல் காட்டியைப் போன்றது. ஆனால் இது உண்மை வடக்கைக் காட்டும் ஒரு திசைகாட்டி ஆகும். சுழிதிசைகாட்டி, மின்னாற்றலில் இயங்கும் வேகமாகச் சுழலும் சில்லொன்றைப் பயன்படுத்துகிறது. பெரும்பாலும் கப்பல்களில் பயன்படும் இச் சுழிதிசைகாட்டிகள் காந்தத் திசைகாட்டிகளை விட இரண்டு சாதகமான அம்சங்களைக் கொண்டுள்ளன.

  • இவை உண்மை வடக்கைக் காட்டுகின்றன. காந்தத் திசைகாட்டி காந்த வடக்கைக் காட்டுகிறது.
  • சுழிதிசைகாட்டிகள் வெளிக் காந்தப் புலங்களினால் அதிகம் பாதிக்கப்படுவது இல்லை.
