Understanding Centripetal Governors: RPM Control in Engines

Explore the fascinating world of centripetal governors, devices that regulate engine RPM using centrifugal and centripetal forces. As the shaft speed increases, adjustable weights move outward, triggering a mechanism that controls the fuel supply to maintain consistent engine speed. Discover the materials used in their construction, the reasons behind their application, and when they are most commonly utilized in engine systems. Dive into this essential component of motor technology with references for further reading.

  1. Centripetal Governors • By Eric Fleurent-Wilson

  2. What on earth is a centripetal gouvernor? • Of course it’s… A device that controls the RPM of a motor using centripetal and centrifugal forces

  3. How does one work? • The faster the shaft turns, the more the adjusted weights move outwards. This will cause a mechanism to close the fuel line feeding the engine, keep a balance so that the speed stays constant.

  4. Why are they made of plastic? • This is a mystery that modern science cannot yet explain…

  5. Why are they used? • They are used to regulate the amount of fuel let into an engine in accordance to the RPM.

  6. When are they used? • In engines

  7. An appropriate visual aid!
