Yes this is named after Nikola Tesla. This is a part of such a valve, that if looped enough times (more times that shown here), becomes effective in allowing flow preferentially in 1 direction (from right). BTW the pressure simulator isnt 100% realistic.

    You could use the mod for longer signs, much easier.

    @GL11.TRIANGLE_STRIP its just for the color of the sign,

    why are there spark signs

    4x4 grid is not the greatest reason. TPT does not care about energy conservation in its air code so the percentage of energy loss is a very dynamic value.

    Order is everything :(.

    [sigh] I wish TPT had more realistic liquid flow. It's impossible to demonstrate some kinds of valves for water.[/sigh]

    @lamyipfu the pressure drops too quickly, but maybe thats because of the 4x4 grid on which it works, instead of 1x1.

    I was looking for something like this in TPT. Thank you for this
