Spinning mass as an information sensor for astrophysics research

In spite of a very long history of investigation, the physical understanding of all of the processes accompanying rapid spinning of solids is far from being perfect. A custom design experimental set-up based on the periodically retarded spinning wheel is built. This device made possible the registration of some celestial processes like lunar and solar eclipses, new Moon moments, Sun rise and Sun set times, occultations of stars by the Moon, etc. It appears that the device - Space Time geometrizer - is sensitive to some kind of space radiation, presumably, gravitational waves.
