The gyrosyn compass system incorporates a flux valve that senses the earth's magnetic lines of force through electromagnetic induction. They induce a voltage in the coils of a sensing unit in the flux valve... The flux valve is pendullously installed (to keep it horizontal) inside a case filled with damping fluid, usually in a wing tip, remote from local magnetic disturbances in the airframe. 7, record 6, English, - flux%20valve

Le système de gyrocompas comprend notamment une sonde magnétométrique qui perçoit les lignes magnétiques terrestres par induction électromagnétique. Les lignes magnétiques produisent un voltage dans le détecteur de la sonde magnétique. [...] La sonde magnétométrique est suspendue, tel un pendule (afin de la garder horizontale), à l'intérieur d'un boîtier rempli d'un liquide amortissant. Elle est habituellement installée au bout de l'aile, à l'écart des perturbations magnétiques locales de la cellule. 6, record 6, French, - sonde%20magn%C3%A9tom%C3%A9trique
