Abstract
A dual axis electrolytic tilt sensor is disclosed which includes a spherical enclosure that houses a plurality of electrodes partially immersed in an electrolytic solution. The electrodes have arcuate contact portions and the spherical inner surface of the enclosure defines a common electrode. When connected to an appropriate electrical circuit, the sensor produces a substantially linear output voltage in proportion to tilt angle.
