1. A conductive structure, comprising:

  • [A] a plurality of aligned structural plates that are positioned and stacked in a vertical alignment with one another, and wherein each one of the aligned structural plates in the plurality has1) substantially the same width and length, and2) a left side, a right side, an upper side, and a lower side, and has a left side, a right side, an upper side, and a lower side;

    [B] an upper structural plate of the plurality comprising an upper layer of dielectric and an upper layer of conductive material;

    [C] a first structural plate of the plurality, comprising a first support layer of dielectric and a first layer of conductive material that includes1) a first-shaped electrode layer area including a left region and an upper region, and wherein the left region extends along, but not beyond, the left side of the first structural plate, and2) a second-shaped electrode layer including a right region and a lower region, and wherein the right region extends along, but not beyond, the right side of the first structural plate;

    [D] an center structural plate of the plurality comprising an center layer of dielectric and a center layer of conductive material;

    [E] a second structural plate of the plurality, comprising a second support layer of dielectric and an second layer of conductive material that includes1) a first-shaped electrode layer area including a left region and an upper region, and wherein the left region extends along, but not beyond, the left side of the second structural plate, and2) a second-shaped electrode layer including a right region and a lower region, and wherein the right region extends along, but not beyond, the right side of the second structural plate;

    [F] an lower structural plate of the plurality comprising an lower layer of dielectric and a lower layer of conductive material;

    wherein(a) the first and second structural plates are parallel with one another,(b) the first and second-shaped electrode layers of the first structural plate are co-planar and electrically isolated from each other,(c) the first and second-shaped electrode layers of the second structural plate are co-planar and electrically isolated from each other,(d) the upper structural plate and the center structural plate sandwich the first structural plate,(e) the center structural plate and the lower structural plate sandwich the second structural plate,(f) the upper structural plate and the lower structural plate sandwich the first structural plate, the central structural plate and the second structural plate therebetween, and(g) within the plurality of aligned structural plates, the orientation of the first and second-shaped electrode layers of the first structural plate is 180 degrees opposite the orientation of the first and second-shaped electrode layers of the second structural plate.
