The thermal model data for Rossi's device:

suggests strategies for managing the stability of Rossi's device, provided the instability management problem is due to the inability to control the temperature of the catalyst as needed.

One strategy made obvious is to control, i.e. to be able to vary, the thermal resistance between the catalyst and the water. This could be achieved by using an intermediary thermal transfer medium and independent pump or blower, but this is expensive and complicated. This could be achieved by using a variable surface area thermal resistor, e.g. by sliding a thermal conductor slab between two other conductor slabs to change surface area, or to use a liquid thermal conductor and vary the liquid filled separation between slabs.

A better method is to insert an appropriate fixed thermal resistance between the catalyst and water, and then to vary the water flow. Varying the water flow might be accomplished using a simple thermo- mechanical orifice device, which increases water flow if the catalyst temperature becomes too high.

Of course, this all assumes there really is nuclear heat present.
