  • I think that's a pressure switch, not a regulator.

  • could be a kind of crash sensor that deploys air bag in lego car!

  • @mrmikerotch Yeah...note to self, actually watch the video.

    It could be used both ways...switch something on when pressure rises, or as demonstrated here, turn on a compressor when pressure drops. I'd almost say that, in a way, both names can be used.

  • @Natesmodelrailroad

    Well, yes and no. In the engineering world (specifically EFM), if you were to describe what the physical devices was, you would be told, "A pressure switch." If you described what its use in the system was, then you might be told, "To regulate pressure."

  • @mrmikerotch Regulates the pressure in the system. It can go both ways.

  • That`s sucks invention .

  • thats not running on air pressure, when you move the actuator, a current travels through the wires and makes the other one move.

  • @mrmikerotch the rubber bands are holding down the little yellow piston causing it to kind of push back

  • can you tell me how do u connect power functions motor to rcx engine?, ty
