and its wear due to particle flow over it. Another design proposes to use a spiral ramp over which particles flow due to the combined effect of the gravitational force and mechanically induced vibrations. Tests showed that it is possible to reach particle temperature of 650 °C and thermal efficiency of around 60%. However, this design requires beam-down optics that would result in additional optical losses, and significant particle flow could be difficult to obtain using
