I think that we can make a simple pressure regulator using a piston, a single
switch, and rubber bands.

The piston is mechanically linked to the switch.  Rubber bands compress the
piston.  When the piston is most contracted, the switch is off.  When there is
excess pressure, the switch opens.  The input to the switch is the fluid from
the hydraulic pump, the output goes back to the reservoir.

  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!

  I got it,

  The red dot is from pump, the blue dot is to the load, and the green dot is to
the resivoir.

  I really got to figure out how to use my camera better.
