Claim:
1. A device for collecting energy, said device comprising: a plurality of conducting rods concentrically connected to a hinge, a first conducting capacitive plate connected to one end of a first one of said conducting rods; a second conducting capacitive plate connected to one end of a second one of said conducting rods, wherein said first end and said second end of said conducting rods are aligned wherein said first conducting capacitive plate and said second conducting capacitive plate are substantially facing each other and oppositely charged from each other; a first source for generating external fields to said conducting rods; a second source for generating electromagnetic waves incident upon said conducting rods; a plurality of energy collectors electromagnetically coupled with said conducting rods; and a load resistor connected to each of said energy collectors to draw energy from an electromagnetic field excitation generated by said conducting rods.
