This paper describes the application of a variable-speed drive for the speed-sensing element of a conventional hydro-governor which makes it possible to measure accurately the deflection of the speeder rod for a given speed change from normal. When this characteristic is determined in the field, changes can be made to the control springs if necessary, to make all machines consistent. The device may also be applied to measure directly both the permanent and temporary speed droops of the governor and allow these quantities to be readjusted to the desired values. The advantage of this method of adjustment is that it permits all the work to be carried out with the main machine shutdown. The variable-speed drive consists of a small motor-generator set which supplies direct-current power to a rotary converter, which in turn delivers low-frequency alternating-current power to the speed-sensing motor on the governor. The rotary converter and the motor-generator set are controlled by a system which gives precise control over the speed which is measured by an accurate tachometer.

Concepts of the electronically-controlled electromechanical/mechanoelectrical Steer-, Autodrive- and Autoabsorbable Wheels (SA2W) with their brushless Alternating Current-to-Alternating Current (AC-AC), Alternating Current-to-Direct Current-Alternating Current (AC-DC-AC) and/or Direct Current-to-Alternating Current (DC-AC)/Alternating Current-to-Direct Current (AC-DC) macroelectronic converter commutator (macro-commutator) wheel-hub motors/generators with the Application Specific Integrated Matrixer (ASIM) macroelectronic converter commutators (ASIM macrocommutators) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) microelectronic Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) computer (processor) controllers (ASIC NF microcontrollers) for environmentally-friendly tri-mode supercars (advanced ultralight hybrids) have been conceived by the first author and designed by both authors with the Cracow University of Technology’s Automotive Mechatronics Research and Development (R&D) Team. These electromechanical/mechanoelectrical wheel-hub motors/generators, respectively, for instance, can be composed of the outer rotor with the Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) poles and the inner stator that has the three-phase armature winding. The macroelectronic converter commutator establishes the AC-AC cycloconverter, AC-DC rectifier-DC-AC inverter and/or DC-AC inverter/AC-DC rectifier ASIM macrocommutator. The microelectronic NF computer (processor) controller establishes the ASIC microcomputer-based NF microcontroller. By adopting continuous semiconductor bipolar electrical valves in the high-power ASIM, it has been able to increase the commutation (switching) frequency and reduce harmonic losses of the electromechanical/mechanoelectrical wheel-hub motors/generators, respectively.
