Abstract

There is remarkable progress in the development of equipment making full use of electronic control devices in recent years. However, there are reports of malfunctions when these devices are driven under a special environment. Therefore, attention has been paid to the control method of "mechanical type" which has been developed so far

In this research, we investigate the centrifugal governor installed in the steam engine of the 18th century.

We design and manufacture a model aimed at observing the operation of the centrifugal governor.
