A radiator which rejects heat to its surrounding environment through radiation, comprising layers of thermally conductive material in a tapered geometry. As well, a radiator which incorporates structural support to maintain rigidity in the out-of-plane directions for its thermally conductive layers. The radiator is used by incorporating a source of heat to the layers, having a lower temperature in the surrounding environment, and structurally attaching to an assigned location.
