Abstract

The present invention provides an alarm for the automobile driver when increased acceleration occurs. A roller ball tilt switch is rotated on a base level with the ground. The roller ball inside the tilt switch rolls back during acceleration. The L.E.D. light is illuminated due to the roller ball tilt switch completing a closed circuit.

Claims

1. A acceleration alarm comprising a roller ball tilt switch and L.E.D. light connected to a rotating base to adjust the angle of the roller ball switch to adjust sensitivity to acceleration.
