Bismarck (Governor)

A Bismarck Governor is a device used to regulate the speed of an internal combustion engine. It automatically adjusts fuel flow to maintain a consistent engine RPM, preventing overspeed or underspeed conditions. Often used in early engine designs, the Bismarck Governor senses engine speed and responds by modulating the throttle or fuel supply, ensuring stable operation. Its simplicity and reliability made it a common choice for controlling engine performance in various applications, such as machinery and generators. Overall, it enhances engine stability and efficiency by providing automatic speed regulation.
