Simple accelerometer and tilt sensor

Simple accelerometer and tilt sensor
This would make a good accelerometer. How it works is it has three mirrors in it two on the led side of the flaps. And one on the bottom, with the LDR facing down out side of the flaps. When the car or what ever you put it on
accelerates they move back by the amount of force to make your car move. Which angles the light from the led towards the LDR. Which lowers the resistance by how much force is applied. You could also use it for sensing tilt.
I made one with ball and spring to see if the car moved but with flaps and mirrors you have better precision if you wanted to use it for tilt. It starts at 112K and gos down to 20k like turning a adjustable potentiometer very good control.

It could read tilt and you could count the change from flat to 90
