Electromagnetic gyroscope without moving parts. An instrument to measure automatically the components of angular velocity of a vehicle without mechanical parts or the use of high frequencies. Nor is it necessary for there to be angular acceleration, or to generate a prior magnetic field. The electromagnetic gyroscope without moving parts is based on the measurement of a magnetic field generated in its shaft by a set of conductor bars 1, arranged as generatrices of a cylinder and charged to an electrical potential with respect to the conductor 3 located on the shaft 2. The magnetic field, which is proportional to the angular velocity, can be measured by means of a Hall effect element 5 or, if the electrical potential applied is alternating, by means of a coil 4 placed around the shaft and perpendicular to it. Can be used in maritime and aircraft navigation systems for building any device with reference axes. <IMAGE>
