Soyuz "Globus" Mechanical Navigation Computer Part 1: Grand Opening

[@t.d.5804]

I do own a Yak-52, a small russian trainer aircraft from 1980. Made in the former red star countries. Instruments are the same as on the Migs, Tanks and some Sojuz parts like the round instruments and some switches/fuses. They used the same design and parts for 50 years on all vehicles. Simple and reliable, I can smell this Globus from 8000miles away. Same paint, screws, finish, metal. This Globus is like the holy grail, its marvelous, 100% hand made mechanical wonder. Comes right after the antikythera mechanism.

It´s a simple mechanism, not a computer. It uses ground radio beacons to determine position. As you fly over them, the globe turns to adjust according to the radio beacon below. It isn´t a true gyroscopic position computer. They didn´t change it over the years because there was no need. Why add complexity when such a device works fine, and is more suited to withstand the rigors of space and reentry? As the old adage says: "Keep it simple, stupid!"

In addition, on the scale of months there are symbols of the Sun that I do not understand ( approx. at April 14, June 15, Sep 1, Dec 21), between them there are numbers (1 ... 13) and the inscriptions "Avance" and "Retard". Obviously, these are figures for the correction of the moon phase indicator. I saw photos of other clocks of the same brand, where there was an additional hand and a horizontal scale (- / +) with the same numbers. In the description in French (which I hardly know) it was said that this calendar is "perpetual". My clock is still working.

The ingenuity of the "Globus" amaze me since the first time i saw it in one of the recent movies avout the soviet space progam. The critical information aka where you are or where you are gonna land is presented in such an intuitive way. The fact that you can switch beetween the two modes remind me of the TDC (torpedoe date computer), an electro mechanical targetng computer and early bomb sight of the same technology that could perform both CCRP (Continuesly Calculated Release Point) and CCIP (Cont..; Calcul...Impact Point) computing. All those devices had to solve the same type of geometric and dynamic problems. Little known fact : When NASA set up the its network of relay sation during the 60s at the heart of the space race it did offer the USSR the ability to use it which was refused. Even then russian spacecraft had instructions in english outside the spacecraft in case it had to land ouside soviet territory, preferably on us soil which might seems counter intuitive in retrospect. Also there was a NASA/state memorandum that if a soviet craft landed on US soil it was to be treated the same as a diplomatic vehicle. That might explain why NASA stations were marked on the globe even before joint missions were a thing, just in case they had to communicate during an ermergency their intent to land on US soil. Just my 2 cents.

Incredible. I am very amazed how skilled people are when it comes ti mechanical engineering.

[@behzatc.9911]

These mechanical & analog computers just piece of art and beauty. Requires more mind effort and design ability more then today digital ones. But forsure, digital ones are simplest ones to be used... I really respect that Soviet analog engineering abilities..

[@jonnyreverb]

From the first time I saw one of those, I really wanted one, and to take it apart. You are so lucky!

[@gavinstirling7088]

This technology is literally a work of art. Thanks so much Marc and co for showing us.

[@GerAllexander]

thank you for saving artifacts for history through your videos; this device is amazing example of human thoughts for anthropology

[@Ubermeisteryyy]

Wow, that looks epic! You guys are superb! ❤️👌

[@624Dudley]

You guys have all the fun. 👍

[@АлексейМихайлов-щ5ы]

Фантастические приборы! Спасибо за видео. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikeiver]

At 20:40 there is a loose E clip stuck to the DC motor. Love the video.

[@fredfred2363]

Big clive and his pin ball machine restoration knowledge would probably love to explore this thing. Interesting vid. A real museum piece.

Говорите, что такой тип аналогового вычислителя летал до 2002 года, но конкретно этот, судя по датам на радиодеталях, должен был лететь 1973 года. Так что старичку уже 50 лет.

[@ankr6679]

Там по тексту упоминается, что это, якобы, указатель с Союза-Т, это до восьмидесятых. Указатель должен был выполнять свои функции и в т.ч. аварийных условий, разгерметизации, пожаров и т.п. В случае аварий положения указателей механически сохраняли своё окончательное положение, для разбора причин аварийных ситуаций. Для вибронагруженых условий, диапазона рабочих температур и давлений - очень изящная конструкция. Они всерьёз думают, что русский ВПК выпаивает микросхемы из стиральных машин.

[@raZZkataeV]

И как это противоречит? Аналоговая система управления на Союзе действительно дожила до 21 века

[@dokthor7999]

Удивительно вообще, что радиодетали - обычные, не военной приёмки. Странно для космического оборудования.

[@00ffdc]

@@dokthor7999 Потому что это учебный экспонат, который изначально не предполагалось запускать в космос -- на нём просто обучали пилотов на земле. Реально летающие в космос, вероятно, делались на несколько иной базе и проходили более строгий контроль качества.

[@dokthor7999]

@@00ffdc тогда понятно всё. Выходит, что это тренажёр для программы "Союз-Аполлон" и, возможно, сам Леонов на нём тренировался.

[@orfeo6141]

Maravilloso!! Una replica moderna del artefacto de Antikythera.

[@dukenukem8381]

Wait when you disassembled it , globe was round and not flat? ! thats bonkers!

[@Andrew_Fernie]

It's just depicted as a sphere to make the gearing easier to produce

[@EmersumBiggins]

@@Andrew_Fernie Certainly not because it reflects reality 🙄

[@sganzerlag]

ROFL

[@tradingwizard562]

Naah it was flat but when they were opening it the gears folded it round.

[@waynesmodels2064]

What a great channel. Thanks for the next-level content. Subscribed.

[@DeKosta]

That is an amazing piece. You should post photos of the globe with the gears attached to it sitting on the desk as shown in this video somewhere, those would look so cool.

[@SovietLensReviews]

Incredible engineering! When the Soviets put their minds to it, they made some impressive stuff.

[@electronics.unmessed]

Wow! What a great technology from the old days. Many thanks for the video. 👍👍👍

[@kombi9648]

Jumping ahead. I really wish you could show us that Space Shuttle computer

[@DavidSimons-ss5kn]

It's a beautiful thing. I've always been fascinated by complex old tech, e.g I'd love to own one of those big tape driven IBM computers with loads of motors.

[@ailtondias3962]

Uma pequena jóia da tecnologia daqueles tempos.

[@hickmandesign9620]

Quite cool to see this, we saw one in Bulgaria in an airfield near Plovdiv. They had a space shuttle there with one of these in, was wondering how they worked, great video!
