Mark, I believe the material was real. A lab assitant who worked with him, and then worked for GE, told a USAF research director that he had done a 4 point probe and measured zero resistance. However, Vahldiek, who I have contacted several times, has so far been unwilling to work with anyone

Hey Jones, Interesting experiment; I'm surprised that 33 gauss is sufficient to lower the arc impedance as much as what's shown. Yet it clearly does, as you can see from shortened decay time. What the current sense resistor energy dissipation has to do with the claimed effect is something only
