A while back I posted some info about a liquid-piston Stirling cycle engine (fluidyne) and some readers asked for more info.
I've posted a link to a short WMV video (436 KB) about halfway down the web page below for anyone interested in seeing it run.

Morris, Where did you get the mirror? What's it made of? Looks like some sort of polycarbonate ... but that's a major wild guess.

For a major WAGS, you did pretty well. My project compadre (that was his hand holding the IR thermometer) picked it up at Regal Plastics in West Des Moines. The sheet is 3/16" x 4' x 8' with a rear reflecting surface.
Works well!
