Abstract
One embodiment of an improved energy conversion and storage system uses pre-charge-enabled energy-converting variable capacitors that can be substantially encapsulated in asphalt roads or streets. Another embodiment can be substantially encapsulated in concrete walls or rooftops. Radiant solar energy does work on temperature-sensitive capacitors. Temperature change, in one embodiment, modifies the capacitance of the previously pre-charged capacitor, thereby converting solar energy into increased electrical energy available for practical use, without needing parabolic reflectors and without needing any moving parts. Other embodiments are described and shown.
