Development and demonstration of an Electromagnetic Gyroscope

自从迈克尔·法拉第第一次演示发电机以来，关于静态观测者测量的电场和磁场与环形交叉路口观测者测量的电场和磁场之间的关系一直存在争议。这个问题已经用标准相对论解决了，但预测还没有得到充分的实验探索。该理论的一个结果是，带静电环的旋转会产生磁场，最重要的是，磁场的大小与相对于固定恒星的自转速度成正比。局域物理与宇宙其他部分的耦合类似于牛顿力学。我们打算建造一个基于这一令人着迷的原理的设备，并使用它从地球实验室的限制范围内探测地球的自转速度。这将是电磁陀螺仪的第一次演示。该装置将基于INFN Legnaro国家实验室现有的实验室设备和消耗品。这笔旅行补助金将用于支付在意大利帕多瓦为期6个月的住宿费用。

Since Michael Faraday's first demonstration of the electric generator there has been a controversy about the relationship between the electric and magnetic fields that are measured by a static observer and those measured by an observer on a roundabout. The problem has been solved using standard relativity theory but the predictions have not been fully explored experimentally. One consequence of the theory is that a magnetic field is produced by the rotation of an electrostatically charged ring and, crucially, that the magnitude of this field is proportional to the rotation rate relative to the fixed stars. This coupling of local physics to the rest frame of the Universe is analogous to that found in Newtonian mechanics.We intend to construct a device that is based on this fascinating principle and use it to detect the rotation rate of the Earth from the confines of a terrestrial laboratory. This will be the first demonstration of an electromagnetic gyroscope. The device will be based on existing laboratory equipment and consumables available at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratory. The travel grant will be used to fund accommodation in Padua, Italy, for 6 months.
