ABSTRACT:
A sensor includes a common electrode, and a plurality of detecting electrodes which are electrically independent from each other. The common electrode has a spherical shape. The detecting electrodes are arranged oppositely to the common electrode so as to form a spherical space between the common electrode and them. In the spherical space, a viscous fluid is housed so as to permit it to move freely therein. The viscous fluid moves according to the direction and angle of inclination or the direction and size of acceleration. By means of the movement of the viscous fluid, electrostatic capacity between the common electrode and each detecting electrode varies. The electrostatic capacity of each detecting electrode is detected by a detecting apparatus.
