Summary
| Description |
English: This is a demonstration of how the speed regulation works in the Otto engine. The spinning balls are the governor, and as the machine runs slower the small wheel moves to the left, inserting the rod into the nearby roller and pushing it up to trigger the intake of fuel to fire the engine for one revolution.
If the machine is still running too slow, the cam continues to stay inserted and makes the engine fire repeatedly for each cycle. When the engine speed increases, the governor pulls the small wheel to the right and the machine coasts without injecting any fuel, though the spark plug continues to fire with no fuel in the cylinder. This video was recorded at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion (WMSTR), in Rollag, Minnesota. (I will add credit for the speaker if I can find out who it was at the show.) |
