"It's a very strange method of control." Damed straight it is. Something appears very wrong. The evidence shows-up in Levi's original report (test #1) showing the device operating in the first quadrant where an increase in input heat energy generates an increase in reaction heat. A decrease in input energy has resulted in a decrease in reation rate.
Look at the dimp in the temperature in the second experiment. Levi is a sloppy physicist, but not so sloppy we won't eventially decipher his garbled report.
