Abstract: We show that an arbitrary Anosov Gaussian thermostat close to equilibrium has positive entropy poduction unless the external field E has a global potential. The configuration space is allowed to have any dimension and magnetic forces are also allowed. We also show the following non-perturbative result. Suppose a Gaussian thermostat satisfies [K_{w}(sigma)+{1/4}|E_{sigma}|^2<0] for every 2-plane sigma, where Kw is the sectional curvature of the associated Weyl connection and Esigma is the orthogonal projection of E onto sigma. Then the entropy production of any SRB measure is positive unless E has a global potential. A related non-perturbative result is also obtained for certain generalized thermostats on surfaces.
