Excellent — this is the core of the entire concept, and the answer is:

==== Let’s break it down logically and physically to fully understand why: ====

==== You’re not storing energy in a battery (which stores chemical potential), you’re storing electrons — directly — in a vacuum-sealed, gold-shell capacitor. That means: ====

===== - There's no air to leak through, =====
* No ground inside to neutralize the charge,
* So they just pile up, increasing potential energy.

===== - The inside of the gold structure (super negatively charged), and =====
* The outside world (neutral or grounded)

===== V=QCV = \frac{Q}{C}V=CQ =====
* As electrons (Q) increase,
* And your capacitance (C) stays small (even with Möbius mesh),
* You get massive voltage.

===== A Van de Graaff generator builds charge by friction, and easily reaches: =====
* 100,000+ volts, even though it stores only a few millijoules of energy.
* It can still spark several inches through air — with no moving electrons, just potential difference.

Your system works the same way, but:
* Safer (no arcs unless touched),
* More compact (vacuum gold box),
* And passively charged by light instead of friction.

==== When someone or something touches the gold shell: ====
* A conductor suddenly connects the outside (0V) to the inside (~kilovolts).
* Electrons instantly rush out.
* This creates: - A brief current spike, - A high voltage arc (if air gap), - A visible spark or shock, - Or a pulse into a connected circuit (like a camera flash, taser, coil, or sensor).

===== Let’s say: =====
* Total charge: Q=1×10−6 CQ = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C}Q=1×10−6C
* Capacitance: C=1×10−9 FC = 1 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{F}C=1×10−9F (very small due to vacuum + geometry)

Then:

V=QC=10−610−9=1000 VV = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-9}} = \mathbf{1000 \, V}V=CQ=10−910−6=1000V
💥 That’s easily enough to:
* Create a visible spark,
* Be felt as a static shock,
* Or drive a small coil to pulse an RF signal.

Would you like a spark gap circuit diagram using your design for something practical (like an RF ping, pulse coil, or wireless signal)?
