Governor

•    A base unit contains a variable-speed motor.
•    The Hartnell governor raises the sleeve against a compression spring.
•    A sensor measures the position (lift) of each governor sleeve as it rises.
•    The motor turns each of three different governors: Proell, Porter and Hartnell.
•    Each governor uses rotating weights (masses) and levers to raise a ‘sleeve’.
•    The Porter and Proell governors raise the sleeve against the action of gravity.
•    Users may also adjust the arm length and rotating mass of the Hartnell governor.
•    The clear dome includes an interlock that shuts off power to the motor.
•    Additional weights (supplied) allow the user to vary the mass of the sleeve of the Porter and Proell governors.
•    This allows students to see the governors and use them in safety while still giving them access to examine or adjust them.
