Speaking of which,once I analyzed theoreticaly what
should have happen when increasing the size of all the
components (by the same factor) of a given TC system.
Not mentioning low frequency charging processes (just
the efficiency of hf. energy transfer prim-sec.).
without much philosophy one gets the result which goes
in a favour of bigger system..However,in reality due
to nonlinearity of primary gap losses and some other
reasons  I don't think that big system would be much
more efficient than corresponding smaller system.
Still ,I agree with J.Freau the bigger system should
be more efficient.
