A bit off topic but you mentioned wakefield accelerators, I found this link, 3 GEV in 3 1/3 CM! Had you seen this work? At Berkeley:

Is there a theoretical maximum specific energy (which is the energy density in terms of energy per unit mass rather than per unit volume) that a supercapacitor can store and, if so, what is it?
I would love to know this because I just wonder what the storage capacity of the best supercapacitors would be in the far future assuming unlimited advance ...[text shortened]... r!
I tried searching the net for this info but I found nothing relevant for ages so given up.

If only a reasonably cheap and efficient fuel cell could be designed to use it directly, we would have a possible reasonable alternative to gasoline.
