Abstract
A tilt sensor includes a notification unit adapted to provide notification about occurrence of tilt; a water storage chamber that contains an electrolytic solution; and a unit cell that includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator placed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. When the water storage chamber tilts, the electrolytic solution is injected into the separator and the unit cell starts generating power and supplies electric power needed to drive the notification unit.
