The configuration of the new gyroscope includes three point-ring corona discharge actuators which generate ion flows in three separated sub-channels. The three ion flows then merge together when going through a nozzle of the main chamber entrance and create a jet flow. In the new configuration, the residual charge of ion wind flow is removed by a master-ring electrode located at one end of the main chamber. Under the effect of the angular speed of gyroscope, the jet flow is deflected and this deflection is sensed using hotwires. Results, which are consistently acquired by both numerical simulation and experiment on our prototypes, demonstrate the repeatability and stability of the new approach. Since the ion wind can be generated by a minimum power, the present configuration-based device does not require any vibrating component. Thus, the device is robust, cost and energy-effective. date: 2019-07 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/LED.2019.2916478 id_number: 10.1109/LED.2019.2916478 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Electron Device Letters volume: 40 number: 7 pagerange: 1182-1185 refereed: TRUE issn: 0741-3106 citation: Tran, Van Ngoc and Bui, Thanh Tung and Dinh, Thien Xuan and Tran, Canh-Dung and Phan, Thanh Hoa and Chu, Duc Trinh and Dau, Van Thanh (2019) A Circulatory Ionic Wind for Inertial Sensing Application.
