Accelometer as tilt measurement

[Erkeli]

Has anybody use any accelerometer? Is it possible to use it as a tilt to sea level measurement?

If you mean that you want to make something like a level then i think that it may work. I have not really try it but it measures the acceleration, so it will also measure the acceleration of gravity. I guess.

Actually i have not also use it but kams theory looks pretty attractive to me

Well, i got this information and i am preparing a theory for accelerometers and w hat they can do. I can asure you that it can measure tilt.As i said, they measure the earths acceleration of gravity. And if you consider that gravity accel is 1g (0.98 to be exact) you need a low acceelerometer for better results. But be patient. The theory is being prepared!

Of course it works! As a matter of fact, there is no way to distinguish the accel of gravity and the accel of (for example) your car. This is very well explained by Einstein with the example of the elevator.

I like this idea! And i found some accelerometers for 15 Euros. I think it is cheap. And many things can be done with it and a display. My imagination rides!

Thanks in advance kam!
