YouTube Find - Wilesco D20 With Homemade Governor.
« on: March 18, 2021, 04:16:13 pm »
I might be alone here, but i never saw this before, eventhough it has been out there for 5 years...

I don´t care much for the looks, but am pretty impressed by how well it functions.
Definitely an inspirational project IMO.

Interesting,  I need to watch it on something bigger than my cell phone in order to really discern what's going on there.

There's a lot of parts and linkage involved but it works. That's the amazing part,   it   works.
Thanks Jan.

I really really like the concept, but the execution could use a bit of refinement  8)

After watching it on the 20" monitor, it works surprisingly well & very sensitive & smooth.

Exactly what impressed me Bruce.
It´s the best functioning governor i´ve ever seen on a toy steam engine
