A Liquid Medium Coriolis Gyroscope based on Electrochemical Molecular Electronic Transducer for Low Angular Rate Sensing

Abstract

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a novel Coriolis gyroscope based on the electrochemical molecular electronic transducer (MET) technology. This gyroscope has a liquid electrolyte mass driven by a DC magnetohydrodynamic pump to create a circulating flow. Thus, improving structural robustness and also sensitivity compared to the thermal convective based. Experimental tests under angular velocities ranging from 0 to 300 °/s show a sensitivity of 20.91 mV/(°/s).
