ok, while chibi'ing designs this thought occured to me, so i bounced it off of recon to get a gauge. he gave great feedback. so without further adoo i present this new peice of equipment.
Heat Unsinks.
Developed by NAIS for studying the effectiveness of TSM on various new concept designs the Heat Unsink, as they nick named. The HU or Heat Unsink is little more then a back looping heating coil that generates heat like that generated during live weapons fire. These light devices easily plug into any mechs reactor and allow developers to test design feasibility and heat capacity without actually fire live weapons. It was during one of these tests that one of the product managers from Corean Enterprises visited NAIS to overview some of the testing on one of his companies designs. He remarked at how simple and effective the little system worked and felt that it could have beneficial battlefield applications. Seeing no great secret in the devices construction the scientists agreed to give him a copy of the design blueprints. Shortly after Corean Enterprises began production of three versions of the HU, and made them available to the mass market were the product is finding favor in the hands of mercs.
HU MKI- tons: 0.5; crit 1; Heat +1
HU MKII- tons: 0.5; crit 1; Heat +2
HU MKIII- tons: 0.5; crit 1; Heat +3
The HU takes one turn to heat up.
The HU produces heat the turn after you start it up.
The HU takes one turn to cool down.
The HU stops producing heat the turn after you shut it down.
ie: turn one you activate a MKIII, turn two you generate 3 heat, turn three you deactivate a MKIII but still generate 3 heat, turn four your MKIIIs off and you don't generate heat.
enjoy.

I'd imagine people would want these for activating TSM without shooting or even moving, right? Such as a hidden mech waiting to spring an ambush on a passing enemy unit.
IMO it won't actually be useful for anyone except people specialized in ambushes. At least not if you allow switching off heat sinks, that is.

Improved 3X Myomer is what we used. The first 10 points of weapons heat went thru the myomers on the way to the heat sinks. The mech would gain 3X benefits without any overheating sincwe it was decided that the 3x bundles would absorb the first 10 points of heat, then everything would begin working normally. If a mech ever used less than 10 hp in a turn the 3X would shut off.
Kind of like pumping up bagpipes before playing, the bladder needs inflated first for the drones, then the pipes can be played.
Same for heat the 3x myomer abrorbs it, then it begins to radiate.
