A METHOD FOR ELECTROSTATIC POWER TRANSFER OF WHEEL-MOTOR POWER THROUGH GYROSCOPE DAMPING FLUID,

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0467986 | Need Help?

Abstract:

A method is described whereby two half-cycle cosine-modulated radio-frequency carrier waves are used to transfer gyroscope wheel-motor power through the gyroscope damping fluid. This halfcycle modulation method is compared with both full-cycle amplitude modulation and suppressedcarrier modulation methods for transferring power. Also presented are efficiency measurements obtained from a breadboard demodulator using the half-cycle modulation method. Author
