ABSTRACT:
An optical cavity device for converting concentrated light into electricity. The device includes an outlet compartment and a middle compartment. A passage connects the middle compartment and the outlet compartment together. A first shutter selectively opens and closes the passage. The middle compartment has an aperture that permits passage of outside light into the middle compartment where the light is concentrated. An inlet shutter permits selective opening and closing of the aperture in the middle compartment. A plurality of photoelectric cells for converting concentrated light into electricity are provided in the outlet compartment. Light is introduced into the middle compartment and permitted to continue to enter the middle compartment. Electricity is produced when a controlled quantity of light is allowed to pass from the middle compartment to the outlet compartment where the light is converted into electricity by the photoelectric cells.
