Stator assembly,includes a conventional electrically operated coil,which is coupled to a conventional controller,. Controller,selectively connects and disconnects coil,to and from a conventional battery,, thereby allowing coil,to selectively receive electrical power. When coil,receives electrical power, a movable member,within member,is actuated, thereby creating a communication passage between a relatively high pressure chamber,and a relatively low pressure chamber
