EEVblog #646 - Gravity Detection Using A Frequency Counter!
EEVblog
Dave Jones of EEVblog demonstrates that a frequency counter can detect gravity through the 2g tipover effect on quartz crystal oscillators. He shows the reading shift as the instrument's orientation changes.
HN links it as a hands-on demonstration that oscillator frequency depends on orientation relative to gravity.
