This is a governor, similar to what was once used on steam engines. It is meant to be attached to the drive train of a rotary device. As it spins, the arms are pulled upwards by centrifugal forces, causing the plunger in the center to move down. Normally this would be used to apply a brake to the device, slowing it down. Esentially, it's a primitive form of speed regulation.

I built this without any application in mind, so it lacks attachment points and so on.
