Symmetrical pendulum system on an axle, for demonstrating centrifugal force. The pendulum arms are held in a state of rest by a coil spring. Depending on the rotational speed, they are lifted against the force of gravity as the axle turns.
This can then be used to control the speed of a steam engine.
