    Default compressor piston cylinder compared to an IC engine piston cylinder

    Just what is different between the two? Its basically the same with exception to the absence of combustable fluid injection into the cylinder and the addition of a special head..... correct?

    Im wondering because Id like to try my hand at making a miniature air compressor pump.
    It seems easy enough compared to an engine in theory.

    Does anyone have any ideas where I might find some plans for one, so I can get an idea of what direction I need to be going in??

    Or a downloadable CAD file on one???

    Thanks in advance for ANY and all info, and sorry for being somewhat off topic.

    Aircompressor pistons can be very simple, but honestly, a piston is easy to make (see my other posting with a picture of my high performance piston design sitting on a dime). I find the rod and crank to be the hard parts.. you could always get a junk compressor to see how the are put together...
