Abstract
An electrical storage unit includes a plurality of sets of layers. Each set of layers includes a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer. The first layer includes a first electrode and plastic surrounding the first electrode on three sides of the first electrode within the first layer. The second layer includes a first active dielectric and plastic surrounding the first active dielectric on all four sides of the first active dielectric within the second layer. The third layer includes a second electrode and plastic surrounding the second electrode on three sides of the second electrode within the third layer. The fourth layer includes a second active dielectric and plastic surrounding the second active dielectric on all four sides of the second active dielectric within the fourth layer.
