Electronic Nautical Chart Display and Information System

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv Tokimec's track control system is equipped with a heading control system that includes a device that displays electronic nautical chart information, a gyro compass, and an automatic steering system to maintain the ship's navigation course, and when the system is connected to GPS, information is mutually analyzed with advanced integrated management. The automated navigation lightens the workload of the crew and ensures safe ocean travel. It also minimizes fuel consumption by adjusting the ship's drift caused by ocean currents or wind and reliably notifies the crew by alarm if there is any danger. The system is easy to operate with a menu that uses a hierarchical layout and is comprised of tabs. During automated navigation, the system automatically prepares routes to any designated starting position and thus new routes can be easily approached with the track control system. In addition, the system's nautical charts are updated in real time via email.

Bell 47G Departure (BH4701)

Lift off to set down clear of obstacles.(Fuel Truck to the left out of picture) The only time I fly this helicopter from the right seat is to do simulated instrument work at the VOR or ILS approach practice.(Glass cockpit is on the right side) Then a sloppy pick up and instrument check, set VOR, GPS, attitude indicator and gyro compass before departing to the Northwest @ 310 degrees. Slight crosswind from the southwest, hence the crabbing to stay in trim on departure.

shooting Stars

This video is dedicated to the poetess RedAquarius whose poems like "Sweet Tea in the Bone Garden" inspire me to work on my poetry. Shooting Stars Sirius, the Dog Star (Canis Majoris) Silver mirror ensnared Tumbled towards the horizon Where tropic sea meets crimson sky. Ship's engine beats In time with my heart. Elnarth, beautiful Arabic name (Taurus) Westward azimuth, hard to find Scintillating glimmer Hidden by sunset's fading glory. Ship's bows cleave the tropic sea Leaving a blue phosphorescent wake. Arcturus, the bear guard (Boots) Rising in the northeast Sextant drops the stars reflection Whilst the stopwatch catches this moment in eternity. Ship's way gives cooling breeze An antidote to daylong tropic heat. Chartroom lit by orange glow Reflected by varnished teak and Brass chronometers Soft red glow of gyrocompass. Ships coffee black and bitter Warm and comforting. Navigation tables, haversines and cosines Reveal the elegant mathematics of curves Three position lines intersect Their perfect cross, the ship's position ... In a perfect universe.

Kongsberg Seatex Seapath

Our Seapath systems are designed to meet the position, attitude and heading requirements of hydro acoustic positioning and seabed mapping systems. The Seapath integrates GPS and inertial navigation technology to optimize accuracy in bathymetric surveys, seismic surveys and ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) systems.

Using Gyro as a Compass

I use a gyro as a compass by integrating the output of the gyro. I drive the motor by feeding it the difference between the motors current angle and the integral of the gyro output.

NXT Big Wheel MKII goes walkabout

Added compass, gyro & sonar to my BigWheel MKII to make it (somewhat) autonomous. http://forums.nxtasy.org/index.php?showtopic=1840
