ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly formed by three pairs of electrodes creates a three axis electrical field which surrounds a charged particle confined in a sealed space consisting either of a vacuum or one filled with a selected gas. The field is energizable whereby to support the particle centerably in a state of stable equilibrium. A detector mounted exteriorly with respect to the electrode assembly is responsive to displacement of the particle from the central position, as the result, for example, of acceleration due to gravity or other motion, and a restoring force in operable association with the detectors and the electrical field is triggered by the displacement to return the particle to the central position.
