Magnetometer Sentence Examples

Various currents are then passed through the magnetizing coil, the galvanometer readings and the simultaneous magnetometer deflections being noted.

Experiments with annealed iron gave less satisfactory results, on account of the slowness with which the metal settled down into a new magnetic state, thus causing a " drift " of the magnetometer needle, which sometimes persisted for several seconds.

It remains to consider the measurement of the declination and the horizontal component, these two elements being generally measured with the same instrument, which is called a unifilar magnetometer.

The Kew Observatory pattern unifilar magnetometer is shown in figs.

Hence in more recent patterns of magnetometer it is usual to do away with the transit mirror method of observing and either to use a separate theodolite to observe the azimuth of some distant object, which will then act as a fixed mark when making the declination observations, or to attach to the magnetometer an altitude telescope and circle for use when determining the geographical meridian.

When making the deflection experiment the magnetometer is arranged as shown in fig.

In the absence of such a reversible card the index correction must be determined by comparison with a unifilar magnetometer, simultaneous observations being made on shore, and these observations repeated as often as occasion permits.

In each case the magnetograph only records the variation of the element, the absolute values being determined by making observations in the neighbourhood with the unifilar magnetometer and inclinometer.

The value of this constant angle is obtained by comparing the record with the value for the declination as measured with a magnetometer.

His first memoir on the theory of magnetism, Intensitas vis magneticae terrestris ad mensuram absolutam revocata, was published in 1833, and he shortly afterwards proceeded, in conjunction with Wilhelm Weber, to invent new apparatus for observing the earth's magnetism and its changes; the instruments devised by them were the declination instrument and the bifilar magnetometer.

The feature's presence was detected by several instruments aboard the spacecraft, including the magnetometer.

The coercivity of relay steels and other magnetically soft materials can be measured using a vibrating coil magnetometer developed at NPL for this purpose.

The search coil is boom mounted, using the same boom as the fluxgate magnetometer in the core payload.

The navigation module contains both a 3-axis fluxgate magnetometer & a 3-axis accelerometer.

A sample magnetometer survey of part of this area was carried out and is outlined below (Bullas 1998 ).

The approach will be to apply 3-D numerical modeling methods to existing ship-board magnetometer survey data.

In the image to the right we are using a cesium vapor magnetometer to locate buried drums and waste on an old landfill site.

They are usually recorded with a special instrument, a pulsation magnetometer.

In order to fulfil the requirement that the field which a magnetized rod produces at the magnetometer shall be at right angles to that of the earth, the rod may be conveniently placed in any one of three different positions with regard to the suspended needle.

Let the distance of each pole of the rod AB from the centre of the magnetometer needle = d.

This last method of arrangement is called by Ewing the " one-pole method, because the magnetometer deflection is mainly caused by the upper pole of the rod (Magnetic Induction, p. 40).

For experiments with long thin rods or wires it has an advantage over the other arrangements in that the position of the poles need not be known with great accuracy, a small upward or downward displacement having little effect upon the magnetometer deflection.

If the cardboard scale upon which the beam of light is reflected by the magnetometer mirror is a flat one, the deflections as indicated by the movement of the spot of light are related to the actual deflections of the needle in the ratio of tan 20 to 0.

The cardboard scale SS is placed above a wooden screen, having in it a narrow vertical slit which permits a beam of light from the lamp L to reach the mirror of the magnetometer M, whence it is reflected upon the scale.

C is a " compensating coil " consisting of a few turns of wire through which the magnetizing current passes; it serves to neutralize the effect produced upon the magnetometer by the magnetizing coil, and its distance from the magnetometer is so adjusted that when the circuit is closed, no ferromagnetic metal being inside the magnetizing coil, the ti, magnetometer needle undergoes no deflection.

The wire is supported inside the glass tube A with its upper pole at the same height as the magnetometer needle.
