Abstract
This invention relates to a device for storing very high voltage electrical energy, of the type comprising a plurality of capacitor stages of which each is in the form of a ring and is provided, at each of the end faces of the corresponding capacitor, with at least one electrode, said rings being coaxial and distributed along their common axis, each electrode being radial with respect to the corresponding ring and being constituted by a thin metal band of which the plane is of general direction perpendicular to said common axis and parallel to said end faces of said rings, wherein, at least concerning certain portions of said electrodes which lie opposite an end face of the corresponding capacitor stage, the longitudinal edges of said electrodes are rounded, so as not to present any longitudinal end edge opposite said end face.
