Melvin Pruitt is an excellent scientist, very familiar with SMES. However,
SMES devices need to be cooled to at least LN3 temperatures.
The same design, made with Ultraconductors(tm), and thereby an UMES, could
do the trick. However, wire is still about 3 years and $18 million doen the
road.
Ultraconductor wire can be 1 or 2 microns in diameter and therefore must be
sheathed in some stronger polymer. But, that is routinely done with fine
wire all the time.
A full charge would seem instantaneous, since these wries would readily
carry 50 amperes.
But, then a Magnetic Power Module(tm) that can fit into an AA cell seems
possible and would eliminate the need for any recharge. A major chip maker
has signed an NDA to explore that possibility.

Compact magnetic energy storage module
Abstract
A superconducting compact magnetic energy storage module in which a
plurality of superconducting toroids, each having a toroidally wound
superconducting winding inside a poloidally wound superconducting winding,
are stacked so that the flow of electricity in each toroidally wound
superconducting winding is in a direction opposite from the direction of
electrical flow in other contiguous superconducting toroids. This allows
for minimal magnetic pollution outside of the module.
