the centrifugal supercharger. This marks the application of turbo-machinery to engines.

Definition of Engine Overspeed Engine overspeed is the speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) that exceeds the maximum governed speed plus governor droop. At a sufficiently high degree of overspeed‚ damage to engine components will occur. Base engine component failures associated with overspeed generally result from cam gear walking‚ valve-to-piston contact‚ or a no-follow condition in the valve train. Fuel system component failures associated with overspeed generally result in flyweight damage
