Hi all
I need some help please.
I'm a mechanic, so my electronics is very limited.
I have a Chevy 4.1 6 cyl running on wood gas, I need to build a governor to control engine speed to keep the alternator at 50 Hz.
The input will be the same as a rev tachometer.
It will be coming from the (-) pole of the coil,
The engine will be running at 2000 rpm so there will be 3 cylinders firing per rev.
So 2000 x 3 = 6000 pulses per min
= 100 pulses per sec
= 100 Hz
The power will be 12 v dc
I need to control the throttle butterfly with a servo of some kind.
I need to make it adjustable.
Here is a youtube vid of the engine running.
