Looks like we did it again. I read this post,
http://news.lugnet.com/technic/?n=14890
and wanted to come up with a working pressure regulator. I came up with, you
guessed it, a single switch piston and rubber bands. I snapped some photos,
which will appear on Brickshelf soon, and then came over here to view the
progress on the posts. And saw this. Just like with the pump and 4 switch idea.
Truely remarkable. The best part about the regulator is that it can be adjusted
by adding or subtracting the number of bands on the unit. This is just too cool!
Billy.
