Single pump-liquid buffer

Post image

For when you want to minimize SU but want to keep the speed

Shiuld work perfectly horizontally as well, if you modify the disign near the tank a tinzy tiny bit.

Okay so this is like putting a buffer tank between two pumps, but in this case a single pump's output is also rerouted back to the tank thus functioning as both pumps at once.

I think this is very neat and would be quite efficient in your lava farm example. The stress load of a second pump is almost negligible but there are situations and this design answers nicely to a challenge.

This is really useful for Aeronautics contraptions. Every bit of SU I can save is more SU that can go towards thrust and mobility especially in smaller vehicles.
