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.
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 🙏
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.
Otis Elevator flyball governors are not outdated in my opinion compared to most of the newer designs.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?
@@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!
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!

No matter how many time i read technical book and image how it works, this only understood me in a minute clearly. What a teacher!
The best moments of life bro...

You're welcome.
Lol, same buddy
Me too haha
Me too. Lol!,
SAME LOO

What was the other video, if you don't mind me asking?
If you watch this video and still don't understand how centrifugal governors work, you should give up. In other words, excellent explanation.
I thought, I will watch 2,3 videos to completely understand this concept But nope, This video is enough ...
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

Fantastically helpful explanation that helped this very dense, but curious layman. Much thanks!!!!
Thanks a lot for this. If the question comes out in my test today, I'm acing it!

Thanks for this amazing video. The animation cleared all my doubts regarding its working. Have a nice day saVRee
You made me understand it easily. Beautiful animation .
Awesome explanation. I was able to visualise and understand it in detail :)
Animation is ultimately superb
the bevel gears are use as the vector of the information feedback about the level of pressure inside the tube. it's so ingenious.
Great explanation sir 💜
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
Thanks for a great video.
This video is great. Thanks a lot!
very very helpful
thank you soo much

Gr8 video. Got all my doubts clear😉✌

awesome representation
Best explanation in this topic segment
excelent video!
Nice video 👌👌
Really appreciate your explanation teacher
Glad to hear that
well explained thanks
Wairakei powerstation turbines still use this set up today for governor control, going hard since the late 50s early 60s haha
Thank u for this information. And for the thorow explenation
Very helpful and well explained video. Thank you!
Totally understood the concept.. thank you
Great job 👍
Thanks 👍
Amazing video, it helped me a lot. I will shared it with my classmates.
Super helpful thank you .
wow!! too helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
The Air india Add is awsome
bro great explanation thank you so much.
Wow, Great representation 🔥🔥🔥
An excellent explaination. Thank You👍
Outstanding!

The best explanation
Great video, very well-explained and easy to follow.
You are educated god 🙏🙏🙏
Great video!
Thank you!! Wonderful explanation!!
👏👏👏good explanation
Awesome, thank you!!
great and simple explanation, Thanks
very clear explaination! tq
Appreciate your work sir...
What turns the drive shaft in the first place though? I didn’t understand that part. Is it an offscreen engine?
It would be connected, for example, to a steam engine connected to the governor valve
Please make video on PGD Woodward working
great work ! perfect motion, thank you
5:59 explains why we'd have such a set up
Governor comes from governing. It governs the engine
Wow Great video
Great !
Thank you very much!
Great explaining
Keep on ❤️
So clever long ago.☘️👍
Thanks alot ❤
Nicely explained, post more videos regarding of dynamics of machinery
Osm video the explanation of governer is to good
Great video as always Do you have complete video course on governors like hydralic governor electronic governor, concept of droop etc......
Nice video
Thanks
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!!
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).
If governor is the speed controller then Bevel gears shaft speed = desired speed - actual speed
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.
Thank you sir
Hello sir can you make a working principle on woodward governors?
Thanks sir
this is where we get the term ..."going balls out"....which is as fast as the machine will run
If the speed increase, the throttle valve completely closed then no fuel will transfer then how could vehicle move
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!
Here from 3 body problem!!
So a governor is pretty much an automatic mechanical valve switch?
Who is here from Cixin Liu’s Death’s End? 😃
thnx ily
Thanks to you nw I understand it very well by da way watching this before 3 weeks to my national high school exam
Sir plsss Provide Inertia Governor Animation
🔰 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❓
Sir can you please send this model parts 🙏
👍👍
