Abstract
Gyroscopic Force Measuring System (simply called GFMS) is an entirely new force sensor for measuring a force vector in 3-dimentional space. This paper reports about the characteristics of our prototype GFMS made on first trial. It is able to measure the only one component of a force vector, excluding servomechanisms to estimate angles of incidence. The feedback gains are selected somewhat arbitrarily, but the fundamental experiments show that she force 0.3 [N] can be measured by the GFMS. This suggests the possibility to measure a small force range useful for airflow distribution in an air-conditioned room as an example of expected applications. No doubt the experimental results are to be released in a future publications.
