A method of producing a power output from a light beam, the method comprising: providing a primary prism having a light beam inlet, the primary prism comprising a first transparent optical medium of polished crystalline quartz having a given index of refraction, the primary prism comprising multiple total internal reflecting surfaces; producing a processed light beam by directing an initial light beam along the initial light path and into a given facet of a light expander/contractor device communicating with the primary prism, the light expander/contractor device expanding light beams that enter the light expander/contractor device from a given direction, producing an exiting light beam; reflecting the exiting light beam from a total internal reflecting surface of the primary prism to a next total internal reflecting surface of the primary prism until the exiting light beam reenters the light expander/contractor device from the same direction as the initial light beam but at a different facet, thereby repeatedly rotating the exiting light beam within the primary prism and producing the processed light beam; selectively operating an optic switch comprising a secondary prism, by controlling the compression boundary between the primary prism and the secondary prism so as to control communication of the processed light beam between the primary prism and a containment chamber that includes the secondary prism; containing and repeatedly propagating the processed light beam along a predetermined light path in the containment chamber producing a propagated processed light beam, the predetermined light path comprising one or more moving reflective prisms comprising a near total reflective surface (NTRS) comprising a transparent front surface and multiple NTRS prisms, each NTRS prism comprising an initial transparent surface defined by at least a portion of the transparent front surface of the NTRS, a first reflective surface extending at a first angle relative to the initial transparent surface to communicate at a second angle with a second reflective surface extending at a third angle relative to the initial transparent surface, the multiple NTRS prisms being arranged coaxially and concentrically adjacent to one another on the transparent front, the predetermined light path passing through the initial transparent surfaces of the NTRS prisms, and the NTRS prisms being adapted to totally internally reflect the light beam; communicating the power output of the propagated processed light beam to an energy system communicating with the one or more moving reflective prisms, wherein the processed light beams repeatedly impact the one or more moving reflective prisms. providing a primary prism having a light beam inlet, the primary prism comprising a first transparent optical medium of polished crystalline quartz having a given index of refraction, the primary prism comprising multiple total internal reflecting surfaces;
