| The '''London moment''' is a [[quantum-mechanical]] [[phenomenon]] whereby a [[rotation|spinning]] [[superconductor]] generates a [[magnetic field]] whose [[Axis of symmetry|axis]] lines up exactly with the spin axis.<ref>"Towards a new test of general relativity." http://www.physorg.com/news12054.html. Physorg. Retrieved 10 March 2011</ref>
| |
| The term may also refer to the [[magnetic moment]] of any [[rotation]] of any [[superconductor]], caused by the [[electron]]s lagging behind the rotation of the object, although the field strength is independent of the [[charge carrier density]] in the superconductor.

| ==Gravity Probe B==
| |
| A [[magnetometer]] determines the orientation of the generated field, which is [[Interpolation|interpolated]] to determine the axis of rotation. Gyroscopes of this type can be extremely accurate and stable. For example, those used in the [[Gravity Probe B]] experiment measured changes in gyroscope spin axis orientation to better than 0.5 [[Minute of arc|milliarcseconds]] (1.4{{e|−7}} degrees) over a one-year period.<ref>http://einstein.stanford.edu/content/fact_sheet/GPB_FactSheet-0405.pdf</ref> This is equivalent to an [[angular separation]] the width of a human hair viewed from 32 kilometers (20 miles) away.<ref>http://history.msfc.nasa.gov/gravity_probe_b/GravityProbeB_20050400.pdf</ref>

| | |
| The [[Gravity Probe B|GP-B]] gyro consists of a nearly-perfect spherical [[Moment of inertia#Rotational symmetry|rotating mass]] made of [[fused quartz]], which provides a [[dielectric]] support for a thin layer of [[niobium]] [[superconductor|superconducting]] material. To eliminate friction found in conventional bearings, the rotor assembly is centered by the electric field from six electrodes. After the initial [[Angular acceleration|spin-up]] by a jet of helium which brings the rotor to 4,000 [[Revolutions per minute|RPM]], the polished gyroscope housing is evacuated to an ultra-high vacuum to further reduce drag on the rotor. Provided the suspension electronics remain powered, the extreme [[rotational symmetry]], lack of friction, and low drag will allow the angular momentum of the rotor to keep it spinning for about 15,000 years.<ref>http://einstein.stanford.edu/TECH/technology1.html#gyros</ref>

| | |
| A sensitive DC [[SQUID]] magnetometer able to discriminate changes as small as one [[Magnetic flux quantum|quantum]], or about 2 {{e|−15}} [[weber (unit)|Wb]], is used to monitor the gyroscope. A precession, or tilt, in the orientation of the rotor causes the London moment [[magnetic field]] to shift relative to the housing. The moving field passes through a superconducting [[Induction loop|pickup loop]] fixed to the housing, inducing a small electric current. The current produces a voltage across a [[Shunt (electrical)|shunt resistance]], which is resolved to [[spherical coordinate system|spherical coordinates]] by a microprocessor. The system is designed to minimize [[Lorentz force|Lorentz]] [[torque]] on the rotor.<ref>http://einstein.stanford.edu/TECH/technology1.html#readout</ref>

| ==Magnetic field strength==
| |
| The [[magnetic field strength]] associated with a rotating superconductor is given by:

| where ''M'' and ''Q'' are the mass and the charge of the superconducting charge carriers respectively.<ref>{{cite journal

Irwin Butts is what my wife enjoys to call over the counter std test me although I don't really like becoming known as like that. California is home std test kit where her home is but she needs to move simply because of her family members. To do over the counter std test aerobics is std testing at home a over the counter std test factor that I'm completely addicted to. Hiring has been my profession for some time but I've already applied for an additional one.
