North seeking gyro is the best gyroscopic surveying instrument for the mining and Oil & Gas industries. As it is a North-Seeking Gyro, all measurements are in reference to geographic North. Unlike other downhole survey or magnetic tools, it is not affected by magnetic interference. When it comes to directional surveying where precision and accuracy are of paramount importance, especially in areas with strong magnetic influences, true North-seeking gyro while drilling is the only solution. It can run inside casing without worrying about the magnetic influences causing deviations and errors.SPT true North-seeking gyro while drilling uses quartz technology, more rugged and highly precise in operation.

What is north-seeking pole?

It is magnetic north (not geographical north), which is the north on a magnetic compass.


Would you capitilize north seeking?

No.


If earth is a giant magnet why does the magnetic south pole correspond with the geographical north pole?

Good question ! The answer is that when scientists first began to investigate magnets, the pole of a magnet that tries to point North was called a "north-seeking pole". The word seeking was quietly dropped when people got tired of saying it. So, the magnetic pole in northern Canada is a south-seeking pole, or as we would say today, the South pole of a magnet. The earth's north-seeking pole is in Antarctica.An Alternative Answer'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS, so-named to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South'. These terms have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarity of those locations.The ends of a magnet (or of a compass needle) are so-called because, when freely suspended, come to rest pointing in the directions of Magnetic North and Magnetic South. Originally, these were called the 'North-seeking' and 'South-seeking' poles of the magnet. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and now simply call them their 'north' and 'south' poles. These are the magnetic POLARITIES of the magnet's ends. Since the 'north' pole of a magnet is attracted towards Magnetic North, the polarity of that location is south. So the earth behaves as though there is a giant magnet, buried within the earth, with its south pole locatedat Magnetic North and its north pole located at Magnetic South.


Why does the magnetic north part of a compass needle point towards geographic north if like poles are suppose to repel?

Technically earth's northern magnetic pole is the south pole of its magnetic field. The north and south poles on normal magnets are derived from the fact that they are "north seeking" and "south seeking" respectively when made into a compass.


What are the end of magnets called?

When two magnets are brought close to each other and they try to move apart, we say the two magnets each orher

What is north seeking gyro?

North-seeking gyro is a gyro with damped precession such that it will align itself parallel to the Earth's spin axis.SPT North-seeking GyroTracer incorporates the very latest technological advances, which makes it the best gyroscopic surveying instrument for the mining and Oil & Gas industries that need to ensure repeatable fast, reliable and precise downhole survey data as well as time saving and the highest return on investment.SPT north seeking gyro is highly accurate, extremely reliable downhole directional survey and orientation tool that uses gyro compassing method to determine direction.


Does Gyro Bowl work?

Yes, it does work because of the 360 degrees turn. You can see kids throwing it, adults turning in every motion. So yes. Gyro Bowl does work

What is gyro repeater?

a navigational compass, under the control of a gyroscope, that automatically indicates true north.


Do you have to have gyro tabs on you bike to be able to have a gyro?

They do not have to be attached to the frame but yes you do need them. When you buy a gyro kit for a bike it comes with a plate that has tabs on it. Unless it is an integrated frame, meaning the headset is two cartrige bearings down inside the frame, if so a gyro will not work without the tabs mounted to the frame. Hope it helped. :)
