Systems and method of electrical power generation. The system and method controls the timescale of electron dynamics and makes use of avalanche ionization, electrodynamic flows, magnetic fields, polarization, radiation emissions, shock wave front, impulse pressure, and heat transfer, created by plasma generated by exposing a fluid to an ultrashort wavelength laser pulse from a femtosecond laser, a nanosecond laser combined with a femtosecond laser, or a typical laser enhanced by a discharge barrier, and the fluid guided by a shock reflecting tube, electro-laser wave guide, plasma discharge gap or check valves that create vortexes to resist backflow, through a capacitor. The fluid and plasma being accumulated and recombined in a storage chamber in a compressed state, or recycled for cyclical power generation.

A capacitor that prevents generation of a substrate capacitance composed of an upper electrode, a substrate, and a lower electrode. Specifically, the capacitor includes a substrate; a lower electrode disposed on the substrate; a dielectric film disposed on the lower electrode; an upper electrode disposed on a part of the dielectric film; and a first terminal electrode that is connected to the upper electrode. Moreover, the upper electrode and the first terminal electrode are formed in a region for forming the lower electrode in a plan view of the capacitor viewed from the first terminal electrode side.

An example power generation system includes two capacitors and an electric load. A first capacitor includes a dielectric material that is configured to transition from a ferroelectric phase to a paraelectric or antiferroelectric phase when heated above a first transition temperature, and to transition from the paraelectric or antiferroelectric phase to the ferroelectric phase when cooled below a second transition temperature. A second capacitor is electrically coupled in parallel to the first capacitor. The electric load is electrically coupled to the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The system is configured to cyclically cool the dielectric material below the second transition temperature to draw a charge from the second capacitor to the first capacitors through the electric load, and heat the dielectric material beyond the first transition temperature to draw a charge from the first capacitor to the second capacitors through the electric load.
