Great explanation! Try it on a flat surface earth, so you get the N in the center of the Earth circle, and the S is on the outside. The magnetic force makes the sphere that surrounds Earth, above and below. The poles don't move, there's no tilt and the surface doesn't spin, if they did, the compasses can't hold course
I was trying to find out information about the heeling bucket and the Vertical force instrument (VFI). Correct me if I am wrong, the compass corrector will adjust your compass using the VFI for the latitude that you are in, you are supposed to compensate for an increase or decrease in latitude?(that is why the bucket has a chain) And you are supposed to reverse the magnets in the healing bucket when you have a change of hemisphere?
Absolutely George. The latitude is a key factor as it determines the dip (or the angle at which the magnetic lines of force intersect the ship); and the hemisphere is important to determine the polarity of the magnet (red or blue).

Good video. Really helpful
Cheers
Explained well but please improve audio quality, can hardly hear anything during some parts of the video.
Thanks Jeff and I agree. I have, since then, improved the audios in my other videos. still don't know why the audio issue exists unfortunately:)
@@SteeringMariners thanks for the prompt reply, and the help provided to fellow mariners. Keep it going strong.
@@Jeff-zi1ei Thanks Jeff. Very kind of you to provide a feedback.

Pls upload more videos on this subject
Sir good explanation
why regular comparisons of standard compass, steering compass and gyro-compasses should be made?
Nice video sir. Can you please explain about Coefficients, effects of rods and the correctors
I will try to make a video on that soon:)
@@SteeringMariners thank you so much
Good Initiative... Could you please tell me which software you have used to make this presentation??
Sir, Please explain how to decide the sign of induced B.
A compass needle, when placed on the magnetic north pole of the earth, rotates in the horizontal direction, can you plz explain bro
How do i know the ship is built in N or S hemisphere by looking heeling arm rods.
Thanks You Sir
you are most welcome buddy:)
