Designing a porter governor to control a cone pulley sliding mechanism

AI Thread Summary
A porter governor is being designed to regulate the speed of a shaft using a variable diameter double cone pulley, targeting a speed range of 250-750 rpm. The original poster seeks practical equations for the design, as their textbook only offers theoretical ones. There is a suggestion that providing more details about the system could yield better responses. The discussion highlights a need for clarity in the request to facilitate assistance. Overall, the focus is on obtaining specific design equations for the porter governor mechanism.

I want to build a porter governor to control the speed of a shaft via a varible dia
double cone pulley. The speed range to be considered is b/w 250-750 rpm. I would like to know the equations involved. My textbook provides theoretical equations, I would be obliged if I could get the actual equations for the design.

You might get more response if you provided more details on your system. I'm just guessing, but I suspect many people have no idea what exactly your are asking about -- I'm sure I do not.
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
