http://www.techbricks.nl technic LEGO pneumatic air compressor tested with a Mindsensor pressure sensor. The Compressor is powered by a RC Buggy motor. It has 4 small pneumatic pumps. One small pneumatic cylinder is pressed out when pressure is building up. At a pressure of 28 psi the cylinder push the pole reverse electric LEGO switch which turns off the motor. When air is released, the motor will turn on at about 15 psi. Take a look at: http://www.techbricks.nl/My-pneumatic-LEGO-projects/pneumatic-compressor.html

The compressor runs until pressure reaches a sufficient amount, then shuts off until pressure drops. The air tank is connected directly to a pneumatic cylinder so that the cylinder expands with raised pressure. THis is counteracted by a shock absorber so that it takes higher pressure to expand the cylinder. Once expanded it activates a touch sensor to stop the pumping.

http://www.techbricks.nl LEGO pneumatic air compressor using large pumps and Power Function motors. The air pressure is regulated by a Power Function pole reverser switch and a cylinder. The Mindsensors pressure sensor for Mindstorms NXT is used to measure the pressure.
