I’m reading The Three-Body Problem series and this contraption was mentioned in detail. However I couldn’t visualize it. Your visuals and explanation were super helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have difficulty in learning due to this pandemic for there is no face to face class yet just online class. Our instructors only give us something to read and it's not enough. Thank you for making educational videos like this. Love you!
Four years of high school and a year of college, where i spent hours banging my head into my desk trying to understand how steam engines and governors work, and literately two videos, and now it all makes sense. I hate public school, they don't want you to actually learn anything. Thank you for making this video.
I fully-understood! Your explain is easy to understand. I have trouble listening english but your pronunciation is clear to understand. I appreciate about your lecture👍Thank you!
I was reading What Might Cognition Be, If Not Computation? by Tim Van Gelder and He mentioned the governor. As someone far from engineering, I could understand how it works thanks to your video. Thank you so much.
A lot of people don't understand this style governor is where sayings "Balls Out" or "Balls to the Walls" came from - The only thing you didn't really show on the variable speed governor variant, is the spring that the governor must overcome to change the set speeds... My Two-Cylinder John Deere uses a very similar style in principle, but uses a leaf spring, hooked to the throttle demand lever on operator's station to pull the throttle arm open, and then when the speed exceeds the required load, the movement of the fly-weights overcomes that spring tension and shuts the throttle plates, also if you shut the lever at the Operators station it will force the throttle to idle in case of governor failure. It Idles at 350-400RPM and runs at 1050 No-Load and 975 under load. - The one you show is a more or less a "Fixed Speed Governor"
Balls to the wall comes from aviation 20th century, specifically referring to the round tops of throttle levers being pushed to the firewall of the cockpit.
Taking Power Engineering online, have followed your channel for quite some time. Honestly feel like I've learned more from your videos than the books, you are a blessing 🙏
Otis Elevator flyball governors are not outdated in my opinion compared to most of the newer designs. It is just a strong yet simple design. It will do its job for many years with hardly any maintenance.Just like Great Grandma's cast Iron cookware will generations later. But sales need to be made and someone needs to produce something new to kill the everlasting. In some cases, certain devices do not need to be redesigned. There is something special about things that were designed so well that they seemingly last forever and are easy to repair and/or maintain.
this is the mechanism used to control speed of the motor in Kitchenaid stand mixers. when you move the lever an actual circuit board that is pivoted off the read moves back and forth, moving it further and closer to the governor depending on which speed is selected. antique tech but ingenious
I'm thinking by adjusting the weight of the balls you could change the speed it governs to. Then I thought it would be nice to have springs forcing the arms down so that you could simply turn a nut and the speed setting would change. Then I thought, boy I'd like to figure a way to adjust that nut while the whole thing is spinning. Right now I think maybe if you could slap a thrust bearing on those arms by attaching a sleeve on a hinge so they will still be able to lift up and down then use the steam in a piston or airbag to push down on the thrust bearing all while controlling the steam pressure with a valve. That's the best I can do. Let me know if anyone has a simpler idea?
If by "mechanical governors" you mean throttle levers, linkages, cables, and throttle return springs, then yes... ALL ENGINES not just small ones use "mechanical governors." But this is a CENTRIFUGAL GOVERNOR, and anyone deploying this mechanism for a small engine would be a total idiot!
@@savree-3dThe valve opening and closing is a function of the centrifugal force, and as you explained, when the engine is 100rpm, it will be completely open, then at 200rpm starts to close, then at maximum rotation valvle will shut off. So the amount of steam (or air) going into the engine is controlled to keep constant rpm, right? Sorry I think I was mixing 'vehicle speed' and engine rpm when I asked the question.
Thank you for such a clear instruction. However, I am looking for a way to mechanically control the speed of a motor generator set, even if the load on it is changeable. For that, I require the least number of moving / wearing parts, so no horizontal to vertical gears for me, I have horizontal shafts only. I guess I could invent a system of fan paddle air brakes, with weights working against springs, to place new load on a flywheel which is starting to spin too fast, and the frequency of the generator is starting to climb out of range. I expect this may be achieved with inverter based speed controllers, but I want to cut out the electronics and come up with a simple, low tech, "flintstone" approach. I shall continue my search!

What was the other video, if you don't mind me asking?
Fantastically helpful explanation that helped this very dense, but curious layman. Much thanks!!!!
I think you possess some extraordinary pedagogical skills.

Came here after reading it from the novel “ Death’s End” from the Three Body Problem Trilogy :D
Me too… I couldn’t imagine what he was describing. This is perfect
Thanks a lot for this. If the question comes out in my test today, I'm acing it!
You made me understand it easily. Beautiful animation .
Thanks for this amazing video. The animation cleared all my doubts regarding its working. Have a nice day saVRee
Awesome explanation. I was able to visualise and understand it in detail :)
Best explanation in this topic segment

Animation is ultimately superb
Very helpful and well explained video. Thank you!
Great video !
Thanks!
Amazing video, it helped me a lot. I will shared it with my classmates.
Thanks for a great video.
This video is great. Thanks a lot!
the bevel gears are use as the vector of the information feedback about the level of pressure inside the tube. it's so ingenious.
Really appreciate your explanation teacher
Glad to hear that
Taking Power Engineering online, have followed your channel for quite some time. Honestly feel like I've learned more from your videos than the books, you are a blessing 🙏
Thanks Kole.
If you watch this video and still don't understand how centrifugal governors work, you should give up. In other words, excellent explanation.
Great explanation sir 💜
I thought, I will watch 2,3 videos to completely understand this concept But nope, This video is enough ...
Totally understood the concept.. thank you
Great video, very well-explained and easy to follow.
Gr8 video. Got all my doubts clear😉✌
Thank u for this information. And for the thorow explenation
very very helpful
thank you soo much
thanks sir i am fresh one for this field i have no practice u know what i only read marine books but u clear me alot. thanks sir i really respect u.
You are most welcome
bro great explanation thank you so much.
it's super cool explanation.. thank you..

awesome representation
An excellent explaination. Thank You👍
The Air india Add is awsome

well explained thanks
great and simple explanation, Thanks
Nice video 👌👌
Great job 👍
Thanks 👍
excelent video!
great work ! perfect motion, thank you
Super helpful thank you .
Wow, Great representation 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you sooo much 😍
Thank you!! Wonderful explanation!!
What turns the drive shaft in the first place though? I didn’t understand that part. Is it an offscreen engine?
Nicely explained, post more videos regarding of dynamics of machinery
Wairakei powerstation turbines still use this set up today for governor control, going hard since the late 50s early 60s haha
The best explanation
wow!! too helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding!
Please make video on PGD Woodward working
Thanks!

very clear explaination! tq
Awesome, thank you!!
Appreciate your work sir...
5:59 explains why we'd have such a set up
Nice video
Thanks
thank you sir
Osm video the explanation of governer is to good
Wow Great video
👏👏👏good explanation
Thanks a lot!
Great explaining
Keep on ❤️
Great !
Here from 3 body problem!!
You are educated god 🙏🙏🙏
Great video as always Do you have complete video course on governors like hydralic governor electronic governor, concept of droop etc......
Thanks to you nw I understand it very well by da way watching this before 3 weeks to my national high school exam
Thanks alot ❤
slightly confused on what rotates the first bevel gear. Is it the steam engine that turns the gear?
@@savree-3d Oh wow, ok that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!!
So clever long ago.☘️👍
Most Small engines still use mechanical governors all the time
If by "mechanical governors" you mean throttle levers, linkages, cables, and throttle return springs, then yes... ALL ENGINES not just small ones use "mechanical governors." But this is a CENTRIFUGAL GOVERNOR, and anyone deploying this mechanism for a small engine would be a total idiot!
With this set up the speed will always be constant. Is my understanding correct? If not, how can it control different speeds?
@@savree-3dThe valve opening and closing is a function of the centrifugal force, and as you explained, when the engine is 100rpm, it will be completely open, then at 200rpm starts to close, then at maximum rotation valvle will shut off. So the amount of steam (or air) going into the engine is controlled to keep constant rpm, right? Sorry I think I was mixing 'vehicle speed' and engine rpm when I asked the question.
@@savree-3d The engine of capitalism at work (pun intended).
Who is here from Cixin Liu’s Death’s End? 😃
If governor is the speed controller then Bevel gears shaft speed = desired speed - actual speed
If the speed increase, the throttle valve completely closed then no fuel will transfer then how could vehicle move
Thank you for such a clear instruction. However, I am looking for a way to mechanically control the speed of a motor generator set, even if the load on it is changeable. For that, I require the least number of moving / wearing parts, so no horizontal to vertical gears for me, I have horizontal shafts only.

You could just place the mechanical governor inline
@@sheeplord4976 Thanks for the brain wave.
Somebody was a genius!
Hello sir can you make a working principle on woodward governors?
this is where we get the term ..."going balls out"....which is as fast as the machine will run
Thanks sir
thnx ily
Sir plsss Provide Inertia Governor Animation
Uncover future insights with an exclusive interview featuring Binance’s CEO
Damn! Who thought about this!?
🔰 Ok yes, but why do we need the governor❓Is he saying that if there wasn’t one, the engine would go into a runaway condition❓
Don't miss the exclusive interview with Binance's CEO for a glimpse into the future
Governor comes from governing. It governs the engine
Software name?
