It sure would, but so would aligning a perfect pool ball to

bounce from one perfectly elastic collision to another & back.
But, is it useful, or even interesting?

Pete,
You miss the point. In between the mirrors (or collisions in your
example) the energy is stored in the E and M fields (or in your
example... the kinetic energy of the pool ball). ...... NOT in the
'device' or the plates of the capacitor for xample.
