  2. Tilt detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_detector

    Sometimes tilt sensors are incorrectly called inclinometers because the sensors simply generate a signal (as opposed to inclinometers that generate a reading and a signal). A basic circuit using a tilt sensor is shown here. For this assembly, the components used are: a tilt sensor, a 470 Ohms resistor, a LED and a 3V power supply.

  3. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    Two-axis inclinometers that are built with MEMS tilt sensors provides simultaneous two-dimensional angle readings of a surface plane tangent to earth datum. Typical advantages of using two-axis MEMS inclinometers over conventional single-axis "bubble" or mechanical leveling instruments may include:

  4. Tiltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltmeter

    A newer technology using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors enables tilt angle measuring tasks to be performed conveniently in both single and dual axis mode. Ultra-high precision 2-axis MEMS driven digital inclinometer/ tiltmeter instruments are available for speedy angle measurement applications and surface profiling requiring very ...

  5. Solar tracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_tracker

    The effective collection area of a flat-panel solar collector varies with the cosine of the misalignment of the panel with the Sun.. Sunlight has two components: the "direct beam" that carries about 90% of the solar energy [6] [7] and the "diffuse sunlight" that carries the remainder – the diffuse portion is the blue sky on a clear day, and is a larger proportion of the total on cloudy days.

  6. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Motion_Sensing

    Accelerometers measure linear acceleration and tilt angle. Single- and multi-axis accelerometers detect the combined magnitude and direction of linear, rotational and gravitational acceleration. They can be used to provide limited motion sensing functionality.

  7. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Diagram of a gyro wheel. Reaction arrows about the output axis (blue) correspond to forces applied about the input axis (green), and vice versa. A gyroscope is an instrument, consisting of a wheel mounted into two or three gimbals providing pivoted supports, for allowing the wheel to rotate about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one ...

  8. Accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer

    An accelerometer measures proper acceleration, which is the acceleration it experiences relative to freefall and is the acceleration felt by people and objects. [2] Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame. [4]

  9. Zenith camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith_camera

    Zenith cameras deliver astronomical coordinates and vertical deflections accurate to about 0.1 seconds of arc. Zenith cameras with CCD image sensors are efficient to collect vertical deflections at about 10 field stations per night. Zenith cameras have been used for accurate local surveys of Earth's gravity field (geoid, quasigeoid).
