AN IMPROVED ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SENSOR

摘要

In one aspect the invention provides an electrical sensor having an electrical capacitance which varies with mechanical deformation to allow instrumenting of deformation by a connected electric circuit, the sensor comprising conductive material separated by dielectric material and operable to deform and change in capacitance with deformation of the capacitor, the capacitor arranged to have a structure of a twisted plane wherein the capacitor is supported in that arrangement by support material.
