ABSTRACT:
A method for the measurement of accelerations and an apparatus for performing the method, whereby ions in a solid ion conductor are exposed to the acceleration for generating a measurable voltage. The ion conductor is arranged so that the accelerations are applied along a longitudinal axis thereof. A support structure is arranged around the ion conductor to provide mechanical support therefor. When the acceleration is applied to the ion conductor, the movement of the ions therein generate a voltage across the length of the ion conductor which voltage is supplied, via electrodes at opposing ends of the ion conductor, to a voltage measurement and evaluation device.
