Description
Observations of persistent currents in superfluid 3He-B have been made with use of a recently developed ac gyroscope technique. The persistent currents are generated in a toroidal region filled with a fibrous material with average pore size of 10-2 cm. In this geometry, a mean critical velocity of 7 x 10-2 cm/sec was observed. To within experimental error, no decay of the currents was observed for periods of over one hour
