Foundations of Theory of New Gyroscopic Sensors Belonging to "Generalized Foucault Pendulum" Family

Foundations of the theory of the generalized Faucault pendulum are set forth. A principal physical effect is described which lies at the heart of operation of devices included in the class under consideration. General principles are stated for constructing laws to control their phase state. Problems of the operational mode stability are studied and calibration equations are derived.
