let us have a look at the characteristics of a capacitor:
(fixed pitch font)
A stepwise increase in Voltage (temperature)
will result in a slowly decreasing current
(a certain resistance assumed in the conductors)

Voltage difference (temperature difference)
_______________
I
I
I
----I

Current (Ampere, calories per sec)
*
I *
I *
I *
---- *


For an inductor we expect the following characteristic


Voltage (temperature)
_______________
I
I
I
----I


current (calories per sec)
*
*
*
*
*
----*

How can we possibly make such an object?
