<p>A power cell for generating useful electrical power from high frequency electromagnetic radiation comprising a spiral-wound, multi-layer film forming a cylindrical body with a central opening (10) for receiving the radiation source (11). The film has in succession a conductive grounded emitter layer (E), a first intermediate layer (12) of dielectric material, a second intermediate layer (C') of a material having a substantial Compton effect, a conductive collector layer (C), a third intermediate layer (13) of the same dielectric material, a conductive retarding layer (R), and an insulating layer (14). The collector and emitter layers are to be connected to the opposite terminals of a load. A bleeder regulator (15) is connected between the retarding and collector layers to pass excess charge on the retarding layer to the collector layer.</p> |
