Heat losses at the surface of a sphere scale with the square of the radius, while the energy density scales with the cube of the radius, so you can just scale it up until the heat loss is relatively small. In the paper, the authors mention 11.4% efficiency for this system and a theoretical maximum efficiency of 79% if scaled up, so it might take a lot of scale. |
