Flyball Governor
Overview
I worked with two groupmates to fulfill the objective of attenuating a non-constant, sinusoidal voltage input motor and have the system output constant voltage.
What I built
- My group, inspired by James Watt's flyball governor for steam engines, decided to build one ourselves.
- We aimed to maximize the inertia of the arms and flywheel in order to lessen the effects of the inconsistent voltage input.
