A Compensation Accelerometer,
Abstract
A compensation accelerometer contains as the acceleration sensor a quantity of mercury in a thin tube which is filled with gas at the ends. The signal from pick-ups is amplified and fed to current supply of a magnetoelectric hydrodynamic converter with permanent magnets. The force brought about by the acceleration is thus compensated by a force brought about by the interaction between the current in the mercury and the magnetic field, and the gas cushions are only very lightly loaded.
