Pulse laser-driven plasma capacitor

A method of powering a load via a plasma capacitor comprising:

• charging a plasma capacitor via a first high voltage power supply;
• emitting a laser pulse from a first laser pulse controller;
• splitting the laser pulse to a delay controller and an optical filter, said optical filter aligning the laser pulse to the plasma capacitor;
• increasing the charge of the plasma capacitor by producing an electromagnetic field and exposing the plasma capacitor to the electromagnetic field, wherein in the step of producing the electromagnetic field comprises creating a plasma flow within a laser driven plasma system using the laser pulse;
• isolating the first high voltage source by emitting a first delayed laser pulse from the delay controller to a first photosensitive switch;
• powering a load by closing a circuit between the capacitor and the load, wherein the step of closing the circuit comprises emitting a second delayed laser pulse from the delay controller to a second photosensitive switch
• discharging the capacitor to the load, and
• upon termination of the pulse resetting the first photosensitive switch and the second photosensitive switch,
• recharging the capacitor with the first high voltage power supply, and
• repeating until the load no longer requires power.
