The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to GE Global Research (GEGR) to design, fabricate and test a gyroscope for geothermal applications, which would incorporate microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), a multi-ring gyroscope transducer (MRGT) and high temperature silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based electronics. The integrated MEMS, MRGT and electronics module would be designed and tested for use at temperatures up to 300C and a functional life of more than 1,000 hours of use. The project would be divided into two Budget Periods (BPs) with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
