ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

At the outset we would like to thank the Management of Jodhpur Engineering College and Research Centre, Jodhpur For the wholehearted Co- operation and guidance extended them, which made our Project possible Words often fail to express ones inner feeling of indebtedness to ones benefactors. In fact words are not proper media for this purpose. The some difficulty hunts which he owes to his reverend and kind guides and number of other persons. We wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr.Prema Ram Chaudhary( Asst. Professor) for his support and guidance during our project we would like to thank the Mr. S.N. Garg (Chairperson of the Mechanical Department) and Mr. O.P. Garg(Co-Chairperson of Mechanical Department).

Last but not the least we are indebted to in valuable support of our family and friends who were always there for our help.

DECLARATION
We, students of B.TECH VII Semester, studying at Jodhpur Engineering College & Research Centre, Jodhpur, hereby declare that the Project Report on Application Of Gyroscope - RUDRA submitted to Rajasthan Technical University, Kota in partial fulfillment of Degree of Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering is the original work conducted by us. The information and data given in the report is authentic to the best of our knowledge. This Project Report has not being submitted to any other University for award of any other Degree, Diploma and Fellowship.

ABSTRACT
The Unmanned Rovers of future are being designed for the warfronts and research purposes for the terrains where human access is remote and dangerous. These are used to maneuver rough terrains and are controlled by satellites. To help them in this advent gyroscopes are employed on them such that these rovers are balanced in all aspects of maneuvering and can sped off without stopping or getting stuck. The gyroscope not only maintains the balance but also helps rovers to get off the ditches or bumps. RUDRA is a concept for such an application of the gyroscope.

INTRODUCTION
RUDRA is designed on the concept of gyroscope is designed for helping the rovers getting out of ditches or uneven roads just by applying a simple concept of conservation of angular momentum. In physics, angular momentum, moment of momentum, or rotational momentum is a conserved vector quantity that can be used to describe the overall state of a physical system. The angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is where r is the particle's position from the origin, p = mv is its linear momentum, and X denotes the cross product. A mechanical gyroscope is essentially a spinningwheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. This orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. Since external torque is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

MATERIAL
The chassis will be manufactured in wood as wood is the cheapest material available and easy to process according to the use. Its availability in the market is no problem at all and its available in various qualities. The tools required for it are easily available and a low cost.

MANUFACTURING
Carpentry will be employed to process the wood into the required dimensions and fevicol will be used as the adhesive for binding the intricate parts manufactured separately.

TYRES
Tyres will be supporting the chassis and help the rover to freely roll on the surface whenever required.

The tyres will be 6 inches in diameter and 1 inches thick in order to support the light weight chassis.

GYROSCOPIC DISC
It is a wheel which will rotate by gyroscopic motors and revolve around the axis of precession, with the help of horizontal shaft welded with the vertical

shaft which acts as the precession axis. The horizontal shaft on which the gyroscopic discs are mounted act as spin axis. The top most horizontal disc will rotate anticlockwise and the bottom disc will rotate clockwise and need to be parallel to each other. These both act together to produce required couple.

GYROSCOPIC MOTORS
The gyroscopic motors will be attached to the horizontal shafts to which the discs will be attached. It will give 5000 RPM at 12V to the discs.

TORQUE MOTORS
They will be attached to the vertical shafts which the will rotate in its own axis the top torque motor will rotate in anticlockwise direction. And the bottom torque motors will rotate in clockwise direction. They will provide 30 RPM at 12V.

CONCLUSION

Uses for gyroscopes are increasing with the number of devices that require guidance and control. Although the basics of the gyroscope are grounded in the laws of physics and can never change, the technology is evolving. Mechanical and electrical methods for providing the spinning mass that makes the gyroscope work are gradually being replaced by ring lasers and micro technology. Coils of thin optical fibers hold the key to compact, lightweight gyroscopes that might have applications in navigation systems for automobiles. The gyroscope is such a simple but sophisticated instrument for keeping so many tools in transportation, exploration, and industry in balance that, seen or unseen, it certainly has a place in the future.
