[ERPS] air bearing gyro?

[Ian Woollard]

I was wondering whether it might be possible to make an accurate gyroscope out of a ball bearing floating in an air bearing.

In principle you just start it spinning before launch, point 3 or 4 optical mice at it, and read off the rotation; it should be quite accurate, fairly light, and reasonably cheap.

Comments?
