A gravimeter is an instrument used to measure gravitational acceleration.

True, but I wanted this to be something anyone could do with equipment they might already have lying around and also get a feel for what gravity is actually doing.

Switching on a machine that displays "9.8m/s²" isn't that much removed from looking it up in a book.
