A hydraulic oscillator has been built consisting of hydraulic resistors, capacitors and transistors (pressure controlled valves). The scaling of micro-hydraulic networks consisting of linear resistors, capacitors and inertances has been studied. An important result is that to make smaller networks faster, driving pressures should increase with reducing size. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9708275-7-1 |
