Patent ID: 10892375

Abstract:
An energy storage capsule for storing energy in the form of photons. The body of the capsule may surround a sealed vacuum environment in which several layers of reactive material are contained, including an inner reflective coating, a first photovoltaic cell, an optical amplification medium, a second photovoltaic cell, and an outer reflective coating, provided in that order. The body of the capsule may also be reflective, for example polished aluminum. Light may be emitted from an LED wafer which may be integrated with the surface of the optical amplification medium, directed at the several layers of reactive material. Some photons may be reflected by the reflective material, storing them within the capsule, while others may be absorbed by the photovoltaic cells, powering the LEDs to transmit more photons. The thermal environment of the energy storage capsule may be maintained such that the LEDs can operate at over 100% efficiency.
