The centrifugal governor was a crucial early mechanical invention that allowed water wheels and steam engines to run unattended without overdriving and experiencing catastrophic malfunctions.
Came here because I'm reading Three Body Problem and want to see how it exactly works
That makes two of us! ☺️
Three!
Four
Five!
Same 😂
Death's End (the Three Body Body Problem) brought me here! lol
And I'm here trying to understand how constant speed propellors work. But I loved Death's End :)
Yun Tianming is one clever bastard
Me too 😆
Same lmao
You guys might be interested to know that these governor are alive and well in airplanes to this day, regulating prop blade angle to control the load for constant RPM
FlyNAA that’s what brought me here... trying to understand this great invention!
@@g5733v351 also in Kitchenaid stand mixers. incredible ingenuity
Thanks i needed that
Yup, you know you're a huge nerd when you find spinning balls interesting; on that note, the Centrifugal Governor are cool as hell.
3 bodies problem took me here😅
Came here after reading about it in The Selfish Gene
Still used in many engines .... Very smart invention by James Watt
So cool that I stumbled across this video. I used to live in Waltham and remember visiting the museum. Thanks for the explanation!
This is a really helpful video for understanding the fundamentals of mechanics with historical examples. Thanks so much
This is where the term “balls out” for going fast comes from
Watt was clever as hell.
Christiaan Huygens *
Reading “Death’s End” by Cixin Lin brought me here…! ☂️
Thanks this was an excellent explanation
This is really beautiful!💎
that's smart
Came here after reading “deaths end” 😊
Centrifugal governors were invented by Christiaan Huygens and used to regulate the distance and pressure between millstones in windmills in the 17th century.
Thank you ! I believe that is correct
Christiaan Huygens also invented the first working pendulum clock
Came over here while The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
三体で遠心調速機の説明が出てきたから調べてみたけど、なるほどこれは
I hate to point this out but the governors will be exerting a centrifugal force, not subject to such a force. A mass rotates because it is subject to a centripetal force , plainly it cannot also be subject to a centrifugal force since these two forces would cancel each other out.
Nahh, you loved to point it out!
Centrifugal forces are fictitious forces that appear in rotating reference frames. In a rotating frame, the balls are subject to equal centripetal and centrifugal force, and it explains why they are stationary in the rotating frame.
Centrifugal force and Coriolis force are called fictitious forces because Newton's laws are only valid in inertial frames of reference, not accelerating frames.
Do you guys realise what big big nerds you are
@@MushookieMan Thank you for explaining why they're called fictitious because anyone who's ever ridden the Roundup ride at a carnival and been pinned to the back of that damned thing knows that centrifugal force is real... LMAO
It was invented by Christiaan Huygens, not Watts.
Came here to comment this
woww amazing thankyou
I read it was invented by Christiaan huygen??🤔🤔
anybody here from SYSK??
The Selfish Gene brought me here
Against atmospheric pressure not gravity
Now if he could only pronounce "centrifugal"...lol
What even is that accent?
