Temperature compensated toroidal accelerometer

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A toroidal accelerometer including a toroidal shaped housing having first and second oppositely disposed arcuate shaped electrodes and a third electrode which is a common electrode, all three electrodes being partially immersed in an electrolytic fluid and subject to differential wetting in accordance with the angle of tilt about a horizontal axis of rotation or axis of symmetry of the toroid. A fourth electrode positioned between the first and second electrodes equi-distant from the, third electrode is at all times completely immersed in the electrolytic fluid. Each of the first, second and fourth electrodes in combination with the third electrode define a conductance cell in which each …
