ABSTRACT:
An acceleration or inclination sensor includes at least two condensers formed as a reference electrode and a detection electrode divided into at least two portions. A magnetic fluid is provided between the reference and detection electrodes, and a magnet or electromagnet is provided for generating magnetism acting upon the magnetic fluid around the location at which the detection electrode is divided, whereby acceleration or inclination is detected by a change in the capacitance of the condensers in terms of an electrical signal.
