  • Abstract
    The Paper focuses about designing a solid state tuning fork gyroscope based on MEMS that gives accuracy and reliability and that can be commercially viable with cost effective. Also this project includes mathematical modelling in which energy and voltage can be calculated. By this voltage and energy we can also measured horizontal and vertical vibrations which are used to find the momentum of an object. For the conversion of displacement to voltage we introduce Acoustic Transducer for the given module. Its application would be in low cost inertial navigation systems, automotive application for ride stabilization and roll over detection, consumer electronic applications like video camera stabilization, robotic application and also for military applications like navigation for guided missiles etc.
