Consider that if you actually have a COP of 2 under a set of conditions, then changing those conditions should allow for an increase in the COP. Better insulation for the escape heat flow paths will cause an increase in the core temperature. If the generated power increases with core temperature then it seems obvious that the COP would rise with the added insulation. The biggest concern should instead be thermal run away and therefore the geometry of the ECAT type devices will be the key to their success.

This would be rather like an opamp with no feedback loop. In order for such a system to work you need to be able to provide negative feedback from the end to the beginning. This in itself is difficult when the response is not "instantaneous", and thermal conductivity is anything but "instantaneous". In short is difficult to do over two units in series, let alone a hundred. (The negative feedback can be done electronically, and can be as fast as the temperature can be measured, but the amplification or response to stimuli is slow.)
