GYROSCOPE ASSEMBLY
A Gyroscope is a device for
measuring or maintaining orientation,
based on the principles of angular
momentum. In essence a mechanical
gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk
whose axle is free to take any
orientation. Although this orientation
does not retain fixed, it changes in
response to an external torque much less
and in a different direction than it without the large angular momentum associated
with the disk’s high rate of spin and moment of inertia. Since external torque is
minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, Its orientation remains nearly fixed
regardless of any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.
Segway's use special solid-state angular rate sensor constructed using
silicon. This determines an object's rotation using the Carioles Effect on a very
small scale. These are called Solid State Silicon Gyroscopes.
Batteries:
The two Batteries are sealed units that require no maintenance other than
proper charging and storage. The Batteries are interchangeable and can each be
installed in either the Front or rear of the Powerbase. For the Segway PT to operate,
both Batteries must be installed, and both must be Li-ion Batteries. If one Battery fails
or is depleted beyond its safe limit, the Segway PT will perform a Safety Shutdown.
Conclusion:
After finishing my seminar report on “SEGWAY PT” I can say that the
seminar is very important for engineering students like me. Learning
knowledge is a very important in the every field. I also learn some experience
about the balancing act in Segway.
