ABSTRACT:
A system for determining acceleration by measuring the movement of a rod within a housing. The rod is an elongate flexible rod disposed in the housing with one end being attached to the housing and the other end being free to move when the housing is accelerated. Movement of the rod is measured with field detectors disposed on an inside wall of the housing. The field detectors are used for determining the direction and degree of movement of the rod when the housing is accelerated.
