Abstract
A device for measuring the acceleration of a moving body includes a pendulum capable of oscillating about an instantaneous center of rotation and a detection system capable of detecting an oscillation of the pendulum that is likely to result from the acceleration. The pendulum has a geometric configuration enabling it to interact with the detection system. The geometric configuration is such that the detection system only indicates an oscillation of the pendulum that exceeds a threshold oscillation value.
