Generally, it is difficult to govern the speed of gasoline engine compared with that of diesel engine because of parametric change.
Reported in this paper is an experimental study of gasoline engine of Wisconsin VE-4 power unit.
In this experiment, a ball governor equipped with power unit was used and in addition, a simple discontinuous governing technique was applied.
The speed governing was extremely difficult affected by the inertia of D.C. generator as the load.
The ball governor satisfactorily operated for this inertial load, proving that it is available for all kinds of loads to be used as power unit.
On the other hand, discontinuous governing was not successfully applied due to the effects of parametric change (especially throttle sensitivity) and larger load inertia. As its technique is now being improved, its experiment shall be reported in the next paper.
