| Abstract: | A new way of converting light energy into electric power is presented. A capacitor is charged periodically under influence of the chopped light flux. Electric energy stored in the capacitor can be increased by the parametric effect, i.e. the reduction of the capacitance value. The energy conversion process is analysed. The possible applications and limitations of this device are indicated and discussed. |
