Abstract
A control unitacquires acceleration α sensed by an acceleration sensorand if the control unitdetermines that acceleration α does not equal zero, the control unitagain acquires acceleration α. In the event that the control unitdecides that acceleration α equals zero, the control unitacquires the weight M sensed by the weight sensorThe control unitcontinues sampling of weight M until a predetermined sampling period has elapsed. Once the sampling period has elapsed, the control unitcalculates the average of weight M obtained through sampling, and uses the calculated average and a map to determine hydrogen amount.
