That is a good point Alan. It is an interesting coincidence that the thought came into my mind just before it was published. That concept will become of much importance as applications for the CATs begin to appear. I can imagine that complex systems of these types of devices will be developed which depend upon the environment into which the individual units are imersed. Actions and control methods must be adjusted to take advantage of the local configuration.
My simulation of an individual HotCat type device indicated that it should be possible to design it so that it remains stable over a large range of core operating temperatures. The forth order radiation power sink is a major component of that design plan. If these individual units are then grouped into a system such as a large oven, then the reverse radiation from the heated interior of that oven change the equation significantly. I can readily obtain a latching condition where the individual CATs continue to produce significant heat power without requiring any input heating from the built in electric heaters. As long as enough heat from electric heaters remains, then the overall COP for the complete system can become very large and hopefully under control. Of course the complete overall system has to be designed as a unit so that the oven can cool down once all of the electrical heating coils are turned off. The heat escaping the furnace must be larger than all of the heat power generated by the contributing latched CATs for this to happen.

Perhaps that is why they decided to publish that information today. Dave
