This is strikingly similar to the gravity manipulation tech that Ning Li was supposedly developing in the 90’s, and which conspiracy theorists have claimed the US & China are secretly using for gravitic propulsion drives.

The methods they propose for generating these waves sound exactly like what was claimed for Li’s gravity manipulation.

Has this work been peer reviewed? Is the theory sound?

Ooh that is so cool. Wonder if it is another tech that really requires a room temp superconductor

Researchers have explored various innovative methods to achieve this, including mechanical resonance and rotational devices, superconducting materials and particle beam collisions, as well as techniques involving high-power lasers and electromagnetic fields.

If the Ning Li conspiracies are to be believed, supposedly her work prior to leaving for China revealed that superconducting materials were unnecessary.
