Notice how quickly the temperature falls after the heat stops. That sure indicates an energy source. It could be conventional I suppose, but I doubt there is much fuel. This is temperature hysteresis. In other words, energy release hysteresis. The cell wants to remain at the same temperature, like a piece of burning wood that is disturbed and then returns to burning at the same rate. Because the shape of the wood and the rate of fuel release is the same. I believe Stan Pons was the first person to describe this. - Jed
