Hm... deja vu, I think I've seen this posted here before...

But anyway - I think the article might have a typo? Shouldn't that disc be "low-temperature" and not "high-temperature"?

I've read other experiments that certain supercooled superconductive ceramics yield a reverse magentic field, whereas a magnet placed above it will levitate and spin. So if that article is correct (and my memory is just rusty) in saying that the high-spinning ceramic disc is actually high-temperature, then we've got an interesting solution. Having two equally opposite temp resevoirs - one that is cold and one that is hot, would preserve an enclosed system and keeping a near 0 energy loss. Then within the chambers would be two ceramic discs, one plated with a magentic alloy and the other held stationary, the magnetic/ceramic disc being suspended by two ball bearings above and below, and the stationary disc being charged with high amounts of electricity.

Instant anti-gravitational device. :Q

High temperature in reference to superconductors refers to their ability to operate at temperatures in the range of 0-(-150)C instead of the normal superconductors that operate in the range of 0-5K.
 
There was an article on Slate a week or two ago about this. Apparently Podkletnov is a bit of a shady character and the experiments cannot be reproduced.

Sure, it sounds nice, we'd like to believe it, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
