Agreed Wes. I think Dr. (ms?) Li left NASA and went back to China to pursue
Podkletnov's work.
This isn't an antigravity effect per se, but, rather a "force field" interaction
between the subatomic quarks of matter.
Each of the three quarks in the protons of the 5.98e24 kilogram mass of the earth
actually have a current of a megampere relativistically time-dilated by
about 3.0e18 orders of magnitude, resulting in a picoampere current for each.
Sum up the total number of quarks ( mass ~ = 1.66e-27/3 Kg) in the
earth's mass, neglecting the free electron mass (one per proton excluding the
electron bound up in the neutron) and you can arrive at a +/- force proportional
to the field strength developed by the disks divided by the square of
the 6.38e6 meter radius of the earth or the square of the distance from a mass
such as an asteroid, comet, bullet, or the sun.
IOW, all inertial mass (air atoms/molecules or spacecraft) can be made to interact
with the "strange field" that Podkletnov discovered while spinning a superconducting disk.
If I recall correctly things got quiet after Podkletnov announced strong interaction
with a "target" at a few miles distance.
Note the silence of the antigravity buffs/researchers on vortex since
Podkletnov- Dr. Li announced their experimental and theoretical findings. :-)
