Combining ideas
Just wondering about the thermal delay of the cylinder/gas etc.  It takes a certain amount of time for these materials to heat up vs cool down.  How fast could it run?

There's got to be a word for a material that heats up and cools down very fast, but I can't think of it.
Low specific heat?
A "Black body" may work like that.
