	ELECTRIC VARIOMETER
		The B400 (Also called B400AV) is designed to replace the well known B40 variometer and like the B40 is aimed at replacing the old technology mechanical variometers in the instrument panel of cross country and competition sailplanes as well as providing a good variometer with audio and averager for club and training sailplanes.
		The displays are supplied with 0.5 m cables with plugs which plug in to matching sockets on the rear of the B400 AV.
		The B400 uses surface mount technology in the electronics and the variometer display is by a small stepper motor driven pointer plus several high brightness LEDs.

	Build a Ten Gallon Loading Coil Variometer for MF/LF
		The trade-off to this wide range of adjustability is that there is a slight loss in coil Q and an increase in the loss resistance of the coil because of the taps and the changing form factor as the coil taps selected.
		This view shows the manner in which one end of the variometer coil winding is fed through a hole drilled in the wall of the coil form and connected to one of the two flexible wires leading through the shaft.
		Feed the variometer coil wires through hole in the bucket wall on the opposite side of the bucket from the coil taps.

	Flight theory-variometer
		A variometer is a fast response vertical speed indicator usually scaled to match typical glider rates of climb and descent (+/-10 knots or +/- 5 metres per second).
		The basic variometer described above suffers from the effect that as the glider changes airspeed in response to pilot inputs, large transient rates of climb and descent are induced until the airspeed is stabilised at a new value.
		If, instead of sensing the outside air pressure or static pressure with the variometer, we connect the variometer to a venturi of the correct dimensions we find that as long as the airspeed is constant the pressure in the venturi decreases and increases as in the basic variometer case.

		A variometer (also known as a rate-of-climb indicator, a vertical speed indicator (VSI), or a vertical velocity indicator (VVI)) is an instrument in an aircraft used to inform the pilot of the rate of descent or climb.
		When the variometer is showing a climb, the tone is often chopped, while during a descent the tone is not chopped and the rate of chopping may be increased as the climb rate increases.
		A variometer (also known as a rate-of-climb indicator, a vertical speed indicator (VSI), or a vertical velocity indicator (VVI)) is an instrument in an aircraft used to inform the pilot of the instantaneous rate of descent or climb.

	Variometer
		In gliders in Germany, where SI units are used, variometers disply in meters per second (m/s).
		Variometers are vitally important in the sport of gliding, because human perception has no sense of climb and sink rates.
		In modern gliders, electronic variometers generate a sound depending on the instrument reading, improving flight safety by being something that can be called a heads-up display.

	The Electric Variometer System
		During the zoom maneuver with an uncompensated variometer, the pilot suffers from an information "fl out." It is impossible for him to tell whether he is in lift or sink while the air speed is changing.
		The popularity of the electric variometer is due first of all to its rapid response, and second to the fact that it will drive an audio attachment.
		When tuning a variometer system with response in the one half to two second range, it is helpful to put heat sink material in the thermos.

		Vane type variometer measure the change in air pressure inherent to changes in altitude.
		The instrument consists of a cylindrical chamber with a precision-fit baffle (vane) rotating on shockproof jewel bearings and centered by a coil spring.
		The resultant defection of the vane provides a measure of the vertical speed and this deflections is transferred to the pointer of the instrument.

	Variometer - Definition, explanation
		This is done using a pitot tube directed towards the front of the sailplane, at the entrance of the variometer.
		The influence of changing aircraft velocity is eliminated, and in effect the total energy variometer is an instrument that describes the vertical motion of the air through which the glider is flying.
		Very few powered aircraft have total energy variometers, so it is common for novice power pilots to "chase the needle", trying to establish a steady rate of descent or climb, or simply staying at zero.

	The Variometer System: Part II
		The next important thing borne out by this figure is that the thermal type variometers are essentially mass rate of flow instruments and their sensitivity drops about 10 percent for each 3000 feet of altitude increase.
		Figure 2 is a plot of response needed if the variometer system had a reference capacity of 525 cc and were being tuned for 4000 feet msl.
		In Figure 5, the variometer system is on the right and the sailplane is shown on the left.

	Instructions
		Many variometers are damaged by Manually sucking or blowing into the ports of the variometer By far, the greatest risk period occurs between the time the variometer is received until after it is installed.
		When using the Sage variometer with a total energy probe, place one or more of the enclosed pneumatic restrictors in series between the static port on the variometer (marked "S", see #10) and the total energy probe.
		One of the most important things for proper performance of a variometer is to ensure that there are no leaks in the system by this I mean the line to the total energy probe and the line to the capacity must not leak.

	Crystal Sets: Building
		Fig 1 shows a simple variometer crystal set which gives good results up to 20 miles from a broadcasting station with the ordinary single or twin wire outdoor aerial.
		In the large majority of cases, and owing to natural ease of construction, the inner inductance is capable of rotation inside the larger one, which is stationary.
		Two more holes are required in the stator to hold the complete variometer in position, and are drilled in line from each edge at a distance of 3 3/4 in.

	electronic variometer - Marko Rocznik
		electronic variometer: Developing and building a electronic variometer is a very interesting task - especially for a glider pilot who studies electronics.
		Based on the experience with the altimeter I developed a electronic variometer, which is described on this page.
		To develop a reliable, robust and really good working variometer needs a lot of effort to spend, much more, than to work and buy one for money (except you are a shoe shop assistant ;-).
