Watt's flyball governor
A nonlinear Watt governor couples a conical pendulum to an engine shaft. Change load, valve gain and damping to observe settling, speed droop and hunting.
Try this
Change load without restarting. The balls control the valve and shaft speed.
Equations used in the module
Equations θ″ = ω² sin θ cos θ − (g/l) sin θ − b θ′ J ω′ = K cos θ − L Equilibrium: cos θ = L/K; ω² = g/(l cos θ)
