Flyball Governor Interactive Display

Governor


Flyball Governors are used to maintain Engines or Turbines at a "constant" speed.

The faster the shaft is turned the farther the balls will swing out , due to centrifugal force.

This motion is transmitted through linkage to close a valve supplying Steam or Fuel to an engine.
