How Flight Simulators Trick Your Brain
This video is about how we can fool your brain into thinking that it is flying an aircraft, featuring the Delft University of Technology's SIMONA flight simulator. By using a couple of clever tricks, we can trigger sensory illusions that are not only believable, but impossible to resist.
If you're interested in using SIMONA for research, check out the Control and Simulation MSc program at TU Delft: www.tudelft.nl/onderwijs/opleidingen/masters/ae/msc-aerospace-engineering/master-tracks/control-operations/programme/profile-cs

The GENIUS of Inertial Navigation Systems Explained
zhlédnutí 2,7MPřed rokem
Moving-platform inertial navigation systems are miracles of engineering and a fantastic example of human ingenuity. This video explains and shows how they use accelerometers, gimbals and gyroscopes to determine the location of a vehicle, including the associated challenges they face such as transport wander and apparent drift.

    Gravity and inertial forces have the same effects but have different causes. Gravity is produced by large masses, such as asteroids, planets, stars, etc. Inertial force can be produced for example by any rocket engine, even there are no large masses around, eg in deep space. It is also possible to create inertial forces by rotating a body. Different causes, same effect.

    the difference between gravity and acceleration would be felt a little by the thighs and ass if paying attention, since in a real acceleration there's no decrease in the vertical component of gravity, which is the case in a simulated acceleration, IMO

    while this is nice its a video game. and in real Life theres a thing called inertia and physics and while you being in a real aircraft (Example: cesna) you can feel the air going though the flight controls. on an f-18 however its a flight by wire system its all computer but even still with reference points such as AoA and what your feeling in the fuselage you can tell what a plane is doing. as nice as this thing is its purely made to fly certain scenarios and not TRY to trick people brain LOL.

    As unfortunate as the F18 incident was, pilots are trained to use their instruments and exercise good judgement. Pushing the nose down on the F18, which is literally programmed to automatically climb safely after launch, without checking altitude and speed properly is a failure.

    Really interesting and surprisingly intuitive. I tend to get slightly nauseous on planes and one thing I do to try and make it better is I focus on my sense of balance and try to visualize the orientation of the plane based on my senses. I noticed a feeling of rotation at the beginning and the end of when the plane rotates, and that's perfectly simulated here with those washout filters!

  • @jocelyngray6306
    @jocelyngray6306 Před 21 dnem

    This helped me to imagine what flying in space with a rocket pack could feel like. In space, you'll feel like you're in constant freefall, because no forces will be acting on you. If you start to accelerate in one direction, you'll start feeling a force that could be felt as down. As you accelerate faster, that force increases and rotates.

    Also there are Fibre Optic Gyros (FOGs) which are much more compact with no moving parts. All types require that the Starting position is inserted in the system ( Lat/Long as accurate as possible) The INS continuously integrates the sensor data to calculate the aircraft's current position and velocity based on its initial known position. Inertial Reference Since the new position is calculated from the previous calculated position and the measured acceleration and angular velocity, these errors accumulate roughly proportionally to the time since the initial position was input. Even the best accelerometers, with a standard error of 10 micro-g, would accumulate a 50-meter (164-ft) error within 17 minutes.[9] Therefore, the position must be periodically corrected by input from some other type of navigation system. by

    I think its a mistake to think of gravity and acceleration as two separate things to begin with. As far as human perception is concerned, they are identical. The only difference being in the direction of the force.

  • @4tune8chance65
    @4tune8chance65 Před 24 dny

    Couple of things: The item displayed is a "Twin Gyro Platform (TGP)" it provides the inputs to a Navigation computer for integration with time to get velocities and distance. The TGP not only has to maintain level but must also point True North (the Accelerometers provide N-S and E-W acceleration into the nav computer, which then calculates Lat Long, distance traveled, course etc. ). During start up the TGP senses the earths rotation to perform a levelling and TN alignement (helps if you know your starting Lat, Long). Limitations of the TGP - Does not like to climb vertical, nor travel over N or S poles (gimbal lock).
