Junior Scientist Autopilot (Acceleromater)

Do - it- Yourself Kit to build a simple accelerator that detects four direction of acceleration. Auto pilot is used to detect the right direction and angle at high altitude in the air craft and helicopter. An airliner can fly automatically, always heading in the right direction at the right height. It is used to keep the aircraft on set heading. HOW IT WORKS On tilting the plastic base on one of the four sides, the suspended metal ball of that side touches the copper bracket and the bulb connected to it lightens up. Why: By tilting the plastic base at left the left bulb lightens up, similarly tilting to right side right bulb lighten up and tilting up and down the up and down bulb lightens up respectively. This happens because when the battery is connected, current flows through the open circuit. But when the suspended metal ball touches any one of the copper bracket, circuit gets completed and the bulb lightens up.
