Making a wheel with touch

Hello,

I been doing some research on the internet and its hard to find anything on this topic. I want to make a wheel that can by turned by touching on of the handles. This is a pirate ship wheel and I want it to have physics where once turned it will keep turning in that specific direction until you put your finger back on it to stop it from tuning or just slows down from its weight. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated or being pointed in the right direction for research on this topic would be amazing as well. Thanks.
