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.
