Abstract
A solid electrode in the core of an angular motion sensor has a body of conductive fluid confined therein within an annular flux gap between axially spaced magnets. An arrangement of slots in the walls of the electrode modifies the current, induced in the fluid by inertial displacement, into a circumferential component, which is inductively coupled to an output winding from which an output signal is obtained.
