Magnetic compass

Magnetic compass, английский
- The most common liquid-type compass, capable of calibration to compensate for magnetic influences within the aircraft.
- Магнитный компас
- Буссоль, магнитный компас
- A compass using a magnetic needle or card which points in the direction of the north magnetic pole. the “flux-gate” version enhances its features by employing small coils of wire wound around a magnetic core to directly sense the horizontal component of the earth‘s magnetic field, providing readings in electronic form that can be digitized and used by an autopilot for course correction. readout may also be analogue. the principle of magnetism was known in china as early as the third century bce, and the compass itself was probably invented there during the ninth century of the current era. its use for navigation is first mentioned by zhu yu in 1119; “the navigator knows the geography, he watches the stars at night, watches the sun at day (but) when it is dark and cloudy, he watches the compass.” seventy years later, the compass had appeared in europe but it is unclear whether it was transferred from china or invented independently. the latter is likely because european instruments used a different number of compass points, and the needle indicated north, whereas the chinese version pointed south. in an unusual reverse direction of technology transfer, arabs—who call the instrument al-konbas—seem to have adopted the european design.
