Location Device with a Gravity Measuring Device
A location device has a gravity measurement instrument in communication with a database which has the locations relative to time of an astronomical object. The location device also has a timepiece indicating the time which may be used to determine the location of the astronomical object.
1 . A location device, comprising;
a gravity measurement instrument in communication with a database;
the database comprising the locations relative to time of an astronomical object; and
a timepiece for indicating the time which may be used to determine the location of the astronomical object.
2 . The location device of claim 1 , wherein the location device measures the gravitational force of at least two astronomical objects.
3 . The location device of claim 1 , wherein the location device measures an angle created by the two gravitational vectors.
4 . The location device of claim 3 , wherein the angle locates the position of the gravity measurement device.
5 . The location device of claim 1 , wherein the timepiece is a clock, a digital time system, a watch, or a combination thereof.
6 . A method for locating the position of an object, comprising the steps of;
providing a gravity measurement instrument at a position within the universe;
knowing a position of at least two astronomical objects which each provide a gravitational force on the gravity measurement device;
measuring a gravitational field of the gravity measurement instrument; and
calculating the position of the gravity measurement instrument from the gravitational field by determining a vector direction of the gravitational force from each astronomical object.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the gravity measurement instrument is a gravitometer, zero length spring, a Lacoste gravimeter, an absolute gravimeter, a superconducting gravimeter, or a combination thereof.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed in caves, cities, jungles, a plane, a submergible machine, a space shuttle, satellite, or beneath the surface of an astronomical object.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed on a plane, a submergible object, a space shuttle, a person, or on the surface of the astronomical object.
10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device is deployed downhole in a tool string.
11 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed within or on a mining machine.
12 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device comprises quartz, metallic, elastomeric, plastic or a combination thereof.
13 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location device is stationary relative to the astronomical object upon which it is positioned.
14 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the astronomical object is the Earth, the moon, a comet, the sun, stars, or a combination thereof.
15 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the movement of the astronomical object is known or predictable.
16 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a gravitational force from a third astronomical object is measured by the gravity measurement instrument.
17 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the gravity measurement instrument is able to determine the gravitational force of the astronomical object as it moves.
18 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the location of the gravity measurement instrument is recorded to the database at various points in a process.
19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gravity measuring device in is communication with a second gravity measuring device.
20 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gravity measuring device is downhole one of the astronomical objects and incorporated in a tool string and the second gravity measuring device is on a surface of the astronomical object.
