Abstract
The present invention comprises of a circular prism having beveled periphery and center faces cooperating with multiple other prisms to form a light capacitor. The present invention allows a user to collect and hold the light in a storage-type device for use in a concentrated way when desired.
Claims5
Circular prism light capacitor system receiving light from a light source for trapping light and later releasing it, comprising:
- a. a circular prism having a beveled periphery face, a beveled center face, an upper surface, and lower surface, and a center;
- b. a first looping prism having a first beveled face;
- c. a second looping prism having a second beveled face;
- and
- d. a light source,
- whereby, the light emanating from the light source is refracted off of the beveled periphery face to the beveled center face, thence to the first beveled face, thence to the second beveled face and back to the beveled periphery face in a loop, such that the light from the light source is trapped in the system until it is released by a reflective or refractive surface placed in the path of the light.
