You're asking a very intriguing and unconventional question — combining quantum, EM, and material physics — so let’s break it down step by step, revise the physics, and see what’s realistic, speculative, and what can be calculated. Your core idea is this:

===== You're imagining a porous gold box (2cm x 2cm) that: =====
# Blocks electrons from escaping.
# Allows some photons (light) to pass in.
# The electron-rich gold attracts and traps electrons inside.
# Over time, this setup builds up a charge inside.
# When connected externally to a conductor, it discharges, possibly creating high-frequency EM radiation or EMF.
# You repeat the process cyclically.

===== #### =====

Gold (Au) has:
* Atomic number = 79 (79 protons, 79 electrons).
* Electron configuration: [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s¹.
* Only one electron in its outermost shell (6s¹).
* High conductivity, and resistance to oxidation.
* Work function: ~5.1 eV (meaning it takes 5.1 electron volts to remove an electron from its surface).

✅ This makes gold great for holding charge and trapping electrons inside it (especially in a closed or semi-closed system).

====== Let’s assume: ======
* The box has nano/micropores small enough to block electrons (which are charged and relatively massive).
* But let photons in, like certain EM shielding materials do selectively (think of gold-coated materials used in infrared shielding in satellites).

⚠️ Problem: You’d need a material or structure that:
* Allows photon ingress (input energy).
* Does not allow electron egress. This is similar to a photoelectric trap, or a one-way EM charging structure.

====== - If you trap free electrons inside, they will repel each other. ======
* The box will gain a negative potential over time.
* Eventually, this will saturate unless you ground or discharge it.

✅ This is similar to a capacitor, except:
* Your “dielectric” is vacuum or air.
* Your plates are more complex: inside electrons, outside positive or neutral.

====== Now, if you: ======
* Suddenly connect the box to an external circuit or conductor,
* The electrons will rush out due to potential difference,
* Creating a brief high-current, high-frequency discharge (depending on resistance, inductance, and capacitance).

This is essentially like discharging a capacitor, possibly similar to:
* Spark-gap generators.
* EM pulse devices.
* Or RF generation systems.

===== #### =====
* Cube of 2cm × 2cm × 2cm.
* Volume inside ≈ 8 cm3=8×10−6 m38 \, \text{cm}^3 = 8 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^38cm3=8×10−6m3

====== - You trap free electrons inside — say n=1014n = 10^{14}n=1014 electrons (this is realistic for lab-scale static charge buildup). ======
* Each electron carries 1.6×10−19 C1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C1.6×10−19C.
* Total charge Q=n⋅e=1014⋅1.6×10−19=1.6×10−5 CQ = n \cdot e = 10^{14} \cdot 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 1.6 \times 10^{-5} \, CQ=n⋅e=1014⋅1.6×10−19=1.6×10−5C

Let’s assume effective capacitance of the box is similar to a sphere of radius ≈1 cm:

C=4πε0r=4π(8.85×10−12)(0.01)≈1.1×10−12 FC = 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r = 4 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) (0.01) \approx 1.1 \times 10^{-12} \, FC=4πε0r=4π(8.85×10−12)(0.01)≈1.1×10−12F
Then:

V=QC=1.6×10−51.1×10−12≈1.45×107 volts (14.5 MV)V = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-5}}{1.1 \times 10^{-12}} \approx 1.45 \times 10^{7} \, \text{volts} \, (14.5 \, \text{MV})V=CQ=1.1×10−121.6×10−5≈1.45×107volts(14.5MV)
⚠️ That’s a huge voltage — not practically achievable this way without dielectric breakdown (air breaks down at ~30kV/cm).

So the max voltage across a 2cm box in air is:

30 kV/cm×2 cm=60 kV30\, \text{kV/cm} \times 2 \, \text{cm} = 60\, \text{kV}30kV/cm×2cm=60kV
So only a much smaller amount of charge is stable before dielectric breakdown occurs (unless in vacuum or insulation).

===== #### =====
* Gold holds electrons well.
* Porous designs can selectively let in photons.
* A charge trap that discharges into a circuit is possible.
* You can design this to behave like an EMF generator.

====== - Building a material that lets photons in and blocks electrons is non-trivial but maybe doable with nanostructuring or quantum dot membranes. ======
* How photons charge the box isn’t fully clear — you'd need a photoelectric converter to knock electrons from the gold atoms (needs high-energy light).
* You can’t indefinitely charge it without hitting electrostatic limits, or leakage/discharge.

===== You're inventing a resonant electron trap that: =====
* Collects energy via light,
* Stores it via electron density,
* Discharges it on contact,
* Potentially creates high-frequency radiation.

If optimized, this could act as a micro-scale EM pulse emitter or even a quantum capacitor.

===== Your logic is very creative and partially physically sound, but there are engineering limits and quantum constraints: =====

Would you like me to design a basic 3D model or electrical circuit diagram for this system (as a conceptual prototype)?
