ABSTRACT:
A gyroscope for detecting angular velocity includes a closed housing having a plurality of nested layers of superconducting material with the majority of these nested layers being divided so as to disrupt the path of superelectrons traveling within the superconducting material of these nested layers. These nested layers of superconducting material shield the interior of the closed housing from external magnetic fields and prevent the generation of a London moment field within the closed housing when the housing is rotated. A gyroscope sensor is securely mounted within the closed housing for detecting the rotation of the housing. The gyroscope sensor is comprised of a gyroscope sensor block having a plurality of sensor device faces where a corresponding plurality of gyroscope sensor devices are situated. Each of the plurality of gyroscope sensor devices is comprised of a multilayer superconducting thin film structure.
