[sci.electronics] Gyroscopes : determining required mass

hbg6@citek.mcdphx.mot.com (04/10/91)

I want to build a small gyroscope for use in a crude inertial
navigation project. Does anyone know how to determine the required
mass of the gyro for a given application? I would guess bearing
resistance and motor speed would be major factors but I'm guessing.

Thanks,
John
