Did find the Swartz paper on his site. Very interesting paper. Thanks
for the link. It did revealed what I expected, which was that as the
excess heat is removed from the reaction chamber, via the dual Stirling
engines, the reactor temp drops and the process can revert to non OU
operation. To stay in OU mode requires control of the operational "Sweet
Spot". I have always assumed this is what NI, Rossi and his first
customer are doing. I see this output energy versus sweet spot control
to be something easier to do with a multi reactor system and in a single
reactor. With a multi reactor system you can switch the individual
reactors on and off to match the output energy demand while maintaining
the individual reactors in their sweet spot.

Dr. Swartz showed videos of his latest cold fusion driven Stirling engines.
They appear to have undergone changes, with an increase in excess power by
about a factor of ten since he first showed them at the MIT Colloquium in 2005.
