When I was a little kid, I had to spend the whole summer in our summer-house which was close to the military base. So these guys had abandoned fighter jets sitting on a field nearby. Unfortunately, my family couldn't afford a decent picture camera those days but I hold the memories in my head when I and dad were spending hours in that field moving jet controls, watching flaps moving, flipping switches, and even it was totally ok taking apart those jets ))) I can now recall, I was playing with the parts of the gyro in the video. I had many toys dismantled from an aircraft in my childhood. Thanks for posting that, it brings memories about those days and my dad.

I used to be a US Navy avionics technician and in-flight technician/radar operator on the E-2C Hawkeye in the 80s (last class of enlisted aircrew flight technicians for that aircraft btw). Back then we had two redundant inertial nav systems that had to spin up and cage before the aircraft moved. (this was all pre GPS) It took about 10 minutes. Then u punched in your current lat/lon and u were gtg. Both the front end instruments and back end weapons systems used those int nav inputs. The computer in that aircraft used a program on magnetic tape reels and had magnetic core memory! An 8k memory module was about the size of a large math or science text book. It was amazing how it all worked so well.

Amazing to think of how they did these back in the days of analogue/mechanical computers. Equally amazing, today a similar IMU unit with even more sensors and axes can fit on your thumb nail for a few bucks.

@@graealex First off, all gyros are mechanical as they rely on conservation of mechanical motion. Mems gyros have damping factor so large that that they oscillating actuator stops almost instantly. If not the older "spinning disc" type mechanical gyros, newer gyros use light interferometry based mechanism. Which again is just a bunch of spinning optics where changes will result in interference. So it comes down to noise and holding time. Mems have near zero holding time. I'm guessing both spinning disc and spinning laser/fiberoptic will spin down over minutes, and significantly lower electrical interference.

I own and fly a Russian civilian trainer airplane, designed in the mid 1960s which contains the original hardware such as this. I should make a video/audio of the startup of the electronics/radial engine (pneumatic start) for anyone interested. Rotary inverters (28 volt DC powered) produce all the necessary 3 phase voltages to run the gyro and Remote compass and other instruments. It has a 3 kwatt DC generator (engine driven) and the voltage regulator for the battery is a carbon pile design. All very crude but when working - very reliable.

Don't get me wrong, I love being able to buy an IMU, stick it on a breadboard or perfboard and it just works but there's nothing to it. I really wish there was still a place for electromechanical stuff like this today, because I enjoy the mechatronics much more than just electronics but it's sadly obsolete AFAIK. It's funny though, tons of US military tech, especially missiles and planes, is from 50-60 years ago and still uses electromechanical tidbits, even if upgraded ones. I also love how this sort of thing is the thing you can actually repair, not just desolder and replace.

Aviation equipment isn't built complexely for the sake of being complex, as your comment suggests. Quite the contrary. If a simple system can be kept on an airplane, it is. The simpler something is, the less likely it is to break, and the easier it is to fix when it does. The so-called "complexities" you speak of are backup systems for those primary systems, in case the primary goes wrong. Some components have 3rd and even 4th stage redundancies. But most only need to be two. The idea being, not necessarily to make the equipment last as long as possible. But to get you safely to the ground, should something go wrong. If a car's ignition system stops working, all you have to do is glide to the side of the road, slow down and put it in park. Tf are you gonna do when you're up in the sky and your ignition system fails? A safe glide to some flat surface AIN'T a garantuee. So airplanes have *2✌️* ignition systems.

Pay attention to my Ukrainian surname - my parents moved from Ukraine to Russia during the Soviet era. Ukraine at the collapse of the USSR in 1991 had a more developed economy than Germany. Now her economic development is worse than that of many African countries. Ukraine's population declined by 20% in the years after the USSR. About 5 million Ukrainians are guest workers in Poland and other European countries, and about 3 million or more in Russia. Etc. Ukraine is an extremely toxic asset, its occupation will be a millstone on its back. Everyone understands this, and of course Putin does not want the occupation of Ukraine. But! War in Ukraine is possible. It is possible in two cases - a military operation by the Ukrainian authorities against the rebellious republics in eastern Ukraine or the deployment of NATO (US) forces in Ukraine. In the first case, it is important that the eastern regions given to Ukraine in 1921 are totally inhabited by Russians. More than 700 thousand residents there have already applied for and received Russian citizenship, and more than one and a half million are awaiting the consideration of documents. Putin cannot ignore this and deny them protection, otherwise his support in Russia will collapse. In the second case, a US missile so close to Moscow is an existential threat. It is important to understand here that the conflict in Ukraine in Russia is perceived as a conflict with the US controlling it. In both cases, missile strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure or on US missile launchers (like Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran) are likely, but not occupation. This is a very unlikely event, more likely the reciprocal deployment of Russian hypersonic nuclear missiles in Venezuela, Cuba and other countries hostile to the United States. And this is the real danger of the Apocalypse.

He explains it as capacitance, a photo lithography fork shaped things on each of the 3 axis, since ic's contain metal oxide parts grown on there and metal plates generate capacitance. but these ic's also or some contain accelerometers, that's where Piezo technics might be use full.

Another crazy bit of trivia: "Clean rooms" which are essential in manufacturing of integrated circuits were first invented in 19th century for production of miniature ball bearings, such as used in these mechanical gyroscopic platforms.

Impressive bearings!

Thank you for documenting this.

Amazing. I would like to see a V2 gyroscopic attitude controller. That ones had direct control over the carbon deflectors mounted over the rocket nozzle, giving some kind of gimbal control.-

I’ve seen video of a V2 gyro in operation. It was taken to an aircraft instrument repair facility to be assessed and run up. It is on KZread somewhere. If I remember correctly, the gyro equipment was from a museum with a lot of V2 technology.

Nice video here!?..... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYijycmNe8SffM4.html

So cool, I used to work on a development Buccaneer (XV344) which had a similar sounding BA gyro unit but about 2-3x the size of that and was oh so heavy. Then came a Ferranti FIN2000 Ring laser Gyro, 1/3 the size, much lighter and amazingly accurate.. but all still over 35yrs ago… (happy days..)

АГД-1, на Ан-24 стояло две штуки, левый и правый комплект. В детстве отец приносил мне на разборку списанные приборы, именно такой я разбирал, и еще один лежит в кладовке до сих пор. На самолете запитывался от умформера, это электромашинный преобразователь с 27 вольт на 3 фазы 36 вольт 400 герц.

What a well built bit of kit. So small and reliable after 40 years. Russian engineering was as God as ours in the West. Unusually 3 x 36V AC was this beacuse of failure redundancy. I think 400Hz is the same frequency used on the DC3 and Grand Commander I flew on survey with it must be a standard for aircraft. Do you have any other pices of electrical or mechanical equipment from 40 or mor years ago. Thanks for the video.

Depends on the system and manufacturer. Usually smaller units has everything in one box sitting in the cockpit. More complex artificial horizons may have a separate hsi in the cockpit and a sensing gyro block somewhere else in the airframe.

I missed the sound of an inertial gyro spinning up. The N-1 on RC-135s sounded the same. It took 28 minutes to fully spin up.

Wow what a cool piece of kit!

Ah! I love the sound of aviation instrument gyros spooling up!

Very nice. Did you have a service manual to identify the pinouts and supply requirements or did you work that out yourself?

@barjan82

Dave, supply requirements were strait forward as Soviet military instruments this era usually run at 27VDC for the servo amps and for a bunch of relays and 3x36VAC for the gyro motors and syncro transmitters/resolvers. Pinout for the supply input was easyer and follows some regular Soviet scheme i've seen on other instruments as well, first 5pins on the bigger connector carries both DC and 3phase AC supply inputs (1->GND, 2->27V, 3->PhW, 4->PhV, 5->PhU). The rest of the pins were including a bunch of head straching and lot of DC, AC voltage and oscilloscope measurements while the unit was running.

​@@sircompo U're wellcome! Take care about the 3phase 36V AC supply phase order on pins 3-5. The gyro block will run with any phase order conneted, but however if the gyro block is connected up with the proper 'display instrument' and the 36V AC supply phase order is incorrect the complete system will behave false. This is valid for both the 'type 458' gyro block and the AGD-1 or KPP-1273 display units.
