Le labo de Michel | LDM #374: Humphrey directional gyro - teardown, test and reverse engineering @lelabodemichel5162 | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In this video I study and operate a vintage directional gyroscope DG11-0105-1 manufactured by Humphrey Inc., San Diego, California. The heading is slaved to a flux detector connected to the gyroscope. A test is performed using an HSI Collins 331A-8K.
