2. Fluxgate compass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxgate_compass

   A fluxgate inclinometer/compass. The basic fluxgate compass is a simple electromagnetic device that employs two or more small coils of wire around a core of highly permeable magnetic material, to directly sense the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.

3. Automotive navigation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_navigation_system

   Navigation with Gosmore, an open source routing software, on a personal navigation assistant with free map data from OpenStreetMap. An automotive navigation system is part of the automobile controls or a third party add-on used to find direction in an automobile.

4. Gyrocompass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrocompass

   A gyrocompass is a type of non-magnetic compass which is based on a fast-spinning disc and the rotation of the Earth (or another planetary body if used elsewhere in the universe) to find geographical direction automatically. A gyrocompass makes use of one of the seven fundamental ways to determine the heading of a vehicle. [1]

5. Bearing (navigation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation)

   A compass rose, showing absolute bearings in degrees. In nautical navigation the absolute bearing is the clockwise angle between north and an object observed from the vessel. If the north used as reference is the true geographical north then the bearing is a true bearing whereas if the reference used is magnetic north then the bearing is a ...

6. Vehicle-to-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid

   Uni-directional V2G (UV2G) charging is technically simpler than delivering power from an EV battery, which many PEVs are not equipped to do. [7] As of 2024, most EVs require a separate inverter than the one used to power the propulsion motors in order to output AC power from the battery. UV2G can be extended by throttling other activities such ...

7. Compass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass

   A modern military compass, with included sight device for aligning. A compass is a device that shows the cardinal directions used for navigation and geographic orientation. It commonly consists of a magnetized needle or other element, such as a compass card or compass rose, which can pivot to align itself with magnetic north.

8. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

9. Direction finding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_finding

   Since the directional characteristics can be very broad, large antennas may be used to improve precision, or null techniques used to improve angular resolution. The crossed-loops antenna atop the mast of a tug boat is a direction-finding design.
