Is it possible to use controls to Set power Out put?

Hi I am currently working on a project that requires power from an analog Controller to a motor. What I'm currently trying to develop is how much power is used from the pressure of the analog Controller to the motor Another words, if I press the controller 50% then the output power will be 50% If i press it all the way down It will output 100% Power to the Electric Motor

    One possible solution is the use of Quantum Tunnelling Compound.

    The harder you press, you lower the resistance. If you release the pressure, resistance rises.


    It just looks like a black cuboid of material, but if you place it on a metal foil and press a wire to the other side as you press, it works.

    Very cheap, very easy to use.

    You need to post a bit more detail on the analog controller, but the first thing that comes to mind is the slot car hand control.
