That's roughly 50x more dense than the most dense non-nuclear storage device listed on wikipedia. You're just so far beyond what is possible with today's technologies that calling it "magic" is very reasonable. You're talking about storing literally 10,000 times as much energy as they store at the LHC, which is 4x4x26700 meters. | |

The ship has has to exist in a 20meter diameter, though the current design would limit the "battery" to roughly 4x4x4 meters. I had an idea... Could you use a magnetic setup and a lazer beam (you know one that is used for electricity) to trap and hold it? | |
