Just wondering if anyone has seen this or expermented with such an idea??
LN Engineering has (or had, not sure if they still make 'em or not) iron cylinders pressed into an aluminum fin arrangment.......cost wise they are decent, but I know the cooling of thier "nickies" is far, far superior Now copper is even better than aluminum at getting rid of the heat, so I thought that would be an interesting material to try out....of course the cost and softness of copper would not make it an ideal material for the entire cylinder........... thoughts??? |
