Relationship between superconductors and gravity

Hi
What is the relationship between superconductors and gravity? Eugene podkletnov came up with some interesting findings.
The first experiment centered on a spinning superconducting disk and the possibility of slight weight reduction above it.

It has reproducibility problems.

Quite a lot of russian "findings" has this problem. A quick search @Josiah would tell you that the state of the matter in 2026 is: all his findings are fairytales.

Searching on his name here at PF will get you to plenty of previous PF threads discussing his work and the issues with it. I don't know that we can add any more to that discussion here.
