New Tim Ventura 2025 interview with Eugene Podkletnov, the spinning-HTSC
guy.

He says the supercon disk is long abandoned, instead now using small metal
disks spinning at 15K RPM, also few-KG disk-shaped coil-assemblies which
can lift off from the lab bench (pulled down by connecting cables.) But
TERAHERTZ? At KILOWATTS? mm-wave microwave ...with coils? I doubt that
(unless he's using Gyrotrons as power supplies.)
Apparently Podkletnov is now a torsion-fields guy, Akimov/Shipov and
Russian secrets got from WW2 German research, via their version of project
Paperclip. His device flys because it punches a hole in the "Physical
Vacuum," and hence is sucked upwards?
I think not enough info given to build your own. Apparently the power
supply is "Tesla based." (How do we get kilowatts of mm-waves from
that?)
However, it seems that the long-pursued gravity effect is not from QM, not
from Cooper pairs, london stuff etc. Instead, rotating metal disks will
do it, also unmoving metal with rotating b-fields, at few kilowatt scale
(only few minutes before his small coils burn up.)
However, is all this material appearing in his advertised PDF book?
(dunno if it's even available, haven't looked.)
Note: when he experimented with VandeGraaff generators coated with HTSC
layer in liquid helium, the violet spider-shaped discharge associated with
"gravity pulses" is a familiar effect, not difficult to produce it with
any classroom VDG electrostatic machine. Perhaps, as with these gravity
experiments, HTSC and liquid helium isn't a requirement for launching the
claimed gravity-pulses (see the old "Morton Effect" from 1990s
discussion, http://amasci.com/freenrg/morton1.html. When I attempted
replication, I only obtained the "spider shaped" long purple discharges.)
Here's my own 3-phase Tesla coil, failed startup-corp from 2018

All of the above is to drive the toroid to 10MHz resonance-plus-rotation,
and the toroid was the power supply for another device not shown.

Dr. Eugene Podkletnov describes a new 2025 gravity modification experiment
using toroidal coils to levitate several kilograms of mass and discusses
historic research with YBCO superconductors.
In this latest experiment, Dr. Podkletnov describes using toroidal
solenoids with complex windings operating near the terahertz frequency
range to produce a levitation effect. He claims this effect lifts uses
kilowatts of energy to levitate several kilograms of weight, lasting 15
to 20 seconds before the device overheats.
Podketnov describes the physics of this device in relativitistic terms,
with the creation of a "gravitational well", where the experimental device
"continually falls into the well". He is very clear that this is not a
repulsive effect - in other words, the device is falling upward, not
pushing against the test stand, workbench, or floor.
Podkletnov also discusses his past collaborative efforts with a number of
notable researchers, including Dr. Ning Li, George Hathaway, Ron Koczor,
Glen "Tony" Robertson, Anatoly Akimov, and many others.
In the 1990's, Dr. Podkletnov focused on researching an effect described
as "gravity shielding" over a rotating YBCO superconductors, featured in
the 1996 Wired Magazine article, "Breaking The Law Of Gravity". In the
early 2000's, he collaborated with Dr. Giovanni Modanese on an Impulse
Generator that utilized a Marx-generator discharge onto a superconducting
emitter to generate a beam of gravitational force. In 2020, he described
a third experiment ion-impregnated gold foil on a rotating disk to
generate gravity shielding without YBCO superconductors.
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Dr. Eugene Podkletnov is a chemist and materials science expert known for
his experimental research into gravity modification using YBCO
superconductors.
Dr. Podkletnov made global headlines in the 1990’s for his experiments
with gravity shielding in rotating disks made from ceramic superconducting
materials. His accomplishments include collaboration on physics theory
with Dr. Ning Li’s team, consulting on materials engineering with NASA
MSFC for 3 years, and co-authoring papers on gravitational impulse
experiments with Dr. Giovanni Modanese.
Dr. Podkletnov has a PhD from the Moscow University of Chemical
Technology, Mendeleyev Institute and spent 15 years at the Institute for
High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He received a second
PhD from Tampere University of Technology in Finland. He has been featured
in numerous times in major broadcast and print media outlets, and joins us
today to discuss his ongoing research in emerging physics.
