Sfena H301 BAM artificial horizon demo

Sfena H301 BAM artificial horizon demo. Related article (under construction): Note: There’s ’28VDC single phase’ mentioned, this should be ’28VDC’ since direct current has no phase shift. Oopsie. This is an editing mistake. --- About the self balancing weight on top of the gyro: A gyroscope can drift to it’s home position over time due to the self balancing weight. The drift is (luckily) very slow. If a gyroscope is placed upside down, after a while the gyro will drift to ’normal’ position due to the self correcting mechanism affected by gravity. Since a plane is usually flying straight forward, the self correcting mechanism doesn’t affect the reading. Well, the curvature of the earth than the self correcting system so the horizon is always matching with the curvature of the earth. If a plane would fly upside down for a very long time, the gyroscope will drift to it’s ’normal’ position. Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t affect the usability. In fact, if there was no self correction of a long time, the horizon would be upside down eventually when flying halfway around the earth. So the curvature of the earth is a much smaller challenge... --- Thanks for the views, thumbs up and comments. I’ve got a small stock of avionic equipment and I planned to share my findings. The views inspired me to make more video’s in de future (in my rare spare time). For now my avionic articles can be found here:
