I'm busy investigating options for a first project, and I'm keen on builing something simple that will yield results without investing too much time and effort. I am looking at "A simple lamina flow engine" of witch I found info elsewhere in the forum. http://www.stirlingengines.org.uk/thermo/lamina.html
Question: Where on earth will I find graphite for the piston? Is this a material that is readily available and used in industry? and secondly: How is a conrod typically connected to a graphite piston? Is the piston maybe left solid with a hole tapped in the back f it?
Thanks for any help and comments.
