I should add, that a bimetal bar is quite unlikely, in that
the switch can be repeatedly activated in close succession, 
and there are no noticable shorted time periods.

I agree that it is a simple solution, but based on thermodynamics
and the observed behaviour, I do not think that a bimetal bar
could cool that quickly.

I hope that there is another solution.
