Reverse Crank/Over Crank Engine

<< < (3/5) > >>

Well more or less completed the drawings, nothing much to do but put them to the test and build the engine, I'm sure there will be mistakes in their someware I'll revise the drawing when i get the engine done. I've a few other shop type maintenace job to do first when I eventualy get into the shop.

I'm planning on fitting a governor to the engine so I've skeemed out a design for a governor to allow adjustment of the spring tension so you can vary the speed the engine runs at.

Comming to which how do you adjust the speed a governor controls an engine.

Thinks I can think of:-

Adjust the weight of the balls

Adjust the weight of the spring

Vary the ratio of drive pullies to the governor

Can you guys suggest any more ?.

I've attached a full set of drawing.

I'd welcome some cometns from you chaps

Changing (=increasing) the weight of governor balls will not make them hang at a lower angle. In a carousel, with seats on chains, empty and occupied seats hang at the same angle. Adjusting spring tension works, so will adjusting the rotation speed.
Thanks for the plans, much appreciated!

Hi Stew

Looking great  :thumbup:

On the governor how it the pin held in place that applies pressure to the spring ?

You got any more views of the governor done  :poke:  :whip: :)

Hi Rob

Its one of those things that I'll just have to suck it and see I may just make it a nice push fit and hope it stays put, I can always give it a dab of suppergue.
