A level is a tool used to determine whether a surface is horizontal or inclined with
respect to the gravitational field. A level requires a sensing mechanism to measure an
angle with respect to the gravitational field, the most common being an air bubble in a
liquid filled tube. In this invention, a potentiometer type sensor is used to measure the
exact surface angle with respect to the gravitational field. Since this Gravity Controlled
Potentiometer uses an electrical current that varies with respect to its position to the
gravitational field, this sensor could be interfaced with an electronic circuit.
