How an Accelerometer Works ⚡ 6 Types of Accelerometers

[@skeetersaurus6249]

Before MEMS (or other solid-state related sensing), analog acceleration meters (meter and accelerometer in one) were found on everything from aircraft to race cars. Less-precise acceleration meters were nothing more than a gauge face with a bearing-carried needle and spindle with some mass loaded at the tip of the indicator needle (1-axis 'X') for 'lateral acceleration readings. As a car went around a curve, the weight-laden needle would be pulled to the outside of the turn, with each degree of the gauge face equaling 0.0111 percent of 1-g (thus, at stasis, the needle pointed down to the '6-o'clock position', and at 0.5-g's left-turn, the needle pointed to the 4:30 position...with 1-g at 3 o'clock). Likewise, if the turn was 'a right turn', then 0.5 g's would point to the 7:30 position and 1-g would be at 9 o'clock) This was a simple 1-axis 2-g acceleration meter, useful for race cars and their drivers being aware of lateral g's, and when the car was likely to lose tire-to-track adherence and enter into a 'skid' (Few cars are capable of retaining traction above 1-g...with examples of Corvette, Trans Am and Ferrari as exceptions to this fact).

Fantastic work, can't thank enough

[@MohamedKhaled-wc2ce]

VERY CLEAR & SIMPLE, Many Thanks

[@JuiceboxTheShuckle]

I knew it! When the question came out of nowhere to me, first thing that popped into my mind was piezoelectrics. Great video btw, thanks!! :D

[@EriccoInertialsystem]

Hello, I only know about piezoresistive before this, do you know the advantages of both

[@SushilKumar-dv6wt]

Brilliant explanation 👍

[@carsenvillegas7259]

awesome video thanks

[@oliverrojas3185]

Thanks

[@vimalgopiz]

superb!, excellent explenation

[@rajeevmech9]

Very good video and explanation

[@ostanin_vadym]

Thank you for very interesting content.

[@Term-0]

What kind of algorithms or hardware is used to filter out oscillation. Would you just ignore any changed that change at the rate of the resonant frequency?

[@qzorn4440]

very interesting and I was thinking they used some load cells. 🤔 Thank you. 🥳

[@Kiyarose3999]

I have a problem with high frequency vibrations is an accelerometer appropriate or is a vibrometer needed?, cos I have been offered an accelerometer to record the vibrations. But I’m doubtful that an accelerometer would register the vibrations I’m experiencing. Pls help!

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Grazie! Brilliant channel. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@majikglustik9704]

Remarkable.

[@mehmetalialdc7253]

Amazing!

[@malshafernando-w3e]

greatfull effort

[@aliniaz6448]

So useful

[@thegoldentree6913]

This is a great explanation, but in my opinion the computer voice is easier to understand than a real human voice.

[@michaelgreen8544]

Exactly - what is this weird thinking that makes content creators decide to use artificial narrators? It is vexing to listen to and hence viewing is aborted.

[@yuseffnehru8612]

How do we tune the standing soundwave? And the Longitudinal Electromagnetic wave? I thought it might be tuned where the generator produce highest impulse frequency?

[@Govind_Shah]

Good explanation 👍

[@SushilKumar-dv6wt]

I wait for your next video

[@sajiruddinsk8129]

You are guide of electronics.

[@sahanpweragoda]

GOOD

[@Naveen-f8w]

What type of accelerometer is in mobile robots?

[@Franklinwin]

Great👍

[@sinapourhaji8457]

great

[@MrGutynhow]

brabo

[@vipinkumar5955]

so what type in my phone?

[@tonyfremont]

MEMS

[@MadebyJimbob]

So we still don’t know what is causing the effect

[@trentson6965]

Really I thought I am only one in that state probably that subject topic is complex to reason out from imagination.

[@Sam_Chintapalli]

🤩🤩💓

[@tammmacdonald7723]

Wrong pronunciation of piezoelectric.

[@walterdennisclark]

I think you just made this shit up. No. They use the precession of a vibrating mass.
