The accelerometer inside the I-Pod touch uses three elements: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The silicon springs measure the position of the silicon mass by using the electrical current. When the I-pod gets rotated it causes a variation in the electrical currents passing through the silicon springs. This variation then sends signals to the I-pod telling it to adjust the game or whatever is being rotated.
