Fascinating!
I never thought any electronics were involved with the orientation ball - I thought there's simply weight in the lower half, so whichever direction the plane is tilting, gravity would do the rest.

@yourfutureex @tubetime That's the reason that the attitude indicator is vitally important: in an aircraft, gravity can feel like a completely different direction from down. For example, see the famous video of pouring iced tea in a plane while doing a barrel roll.
