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 for receiving the radiation source. The film has in succession a conductive grounded emitter layer, a first intermediate layer of dielectric material, a second intermediate layer of a material having a substantial Compton effect, a conductive collector layer, a third intermediate layer of the same dielectric material, a conductive retarding layer, and an insulating layer. The collector and emitter layers are to be connected to the opposite terminals of a load. A bleeder regulator is connected between the retarding and collector layers to pass excess charge on the retarding layer to the collector layer.
