Graphite piston gives this idea

[nitrozil]

Use a coffee grinder to make mixture of next component.

30% gypsum

70% wood char

After this add little water to it put this pulp to glass tube after mixing.

I did some piston with Graphite powder ( by sanding the graphite of a pencil ) and Epoxy. Not have time to test it on a real engine. I did some ration mix test and expoxy can support 3time of graphite powder and more by volume. If anyone can test it on is engine , let's me know the result. Nitrozil , you can ? ;o)

Where did you get the idea to make a wood char piston?

[BasTheBushBandit]

you should look into the hydrogen fuel cell flame torch for heat just search "#7 hho torch trials" here on youtube and see how he makes it, a battery can power the fuel cell and this is the engine, they can't get a car to run only on the fuel cell alone, but you may have something here!! diferent engine!!
