I guess the issue becomes the balance between getting enough heat early in the cycle without overheating the system in hot conditions. I like the breakable heat pipe idea. Simple, effective, and doesn't involve fluids that can leak, freeze, or react badly to heat. Would probably be sensitive to alignment and dirt issues, though.
