⚙️ Watt Flyball Governor (2D force balance and speed control)

2D front view of a centrifugal flyball governor: spin the shaft and the balls swing out, lifting the sleeve; close the loop with an engine and the governor holds the speed. Real force balance from virtual work, a damped dynamic simulation and four numerical checks, using the linkage dimensions of the 3D page.
