The following items by Modanese are the most detailed theoretical analyses of the Tampere Effect given to date. Modanese’s basic idea is that the rotating superconductor is a macroscopic quantum-coherent state (Bose-Einstein condensate) which affects gravity by means of modifying Einstein’s cosmological constant term in the gravity-field equations. This mechanism appears to be different from, but possibly closely related to, the gravitomagnetic field discussed above in this article. In any case, it is plausible to think, or at least to suggest, that the unpaired nuclear spins in Wallace’s special materials also comprise a macroscopic quantum-coherent state and thus could act as proposed by Modanese’s theory.

APPENDIX– SI (MKS) Dimensisons of the Gravitomagnetic Field.
Gravitoelectric Charge = Kg
(in purely electrical units, Kg = (Weber/Meter)(Coul/Meter)(Sec)
Gravitoelectric Field = Meter/Sec-Squared
Gravitoelectric Flux Density = Kg/Meter-Squared
Mass Current = Kg/Sec = (Weber/Meter)(Coul/Meter)
Gravitomagnetic Dipole Moment = (Kg)(Meter-Squared)/Sec
= Angular Momentum
= (Coulomb)(Weber)
Gravitoelectric Dipole Moment = (Kg)(Meter)
(You would need the equivalent of negative mass to make one of these)
Gravitomagnetic Charge = (Velocity)(Meter) = Square-Meter/Sec
Gravitomagnetic Field = (Mass Current)/Meter = Kg/Sec-Meter
= ((Kg)(Meter^2)/Sec)/Meter^3
= Spin Density = Angular Momentum/Cubic-Meter
= (Coulomb)(Weber)/Cubic-Meter
Gravitomagnetic Flux Density = (Gravitomagnetic Charge)/Meter^2
= Velocity/Meter
= 1/Sec = Angular Velocity
Gravitoelectric Scalar Potential = Joule/Kg
= (Acceleration)(Meter)
= (Gravitoelectric Field)(Meter)
= Velocity-Squared
= Meter-Squared/Second-Squared
Gravitomagnetic Vector Potential = (Gravitomagnetic Charge)/Meter
= Velocity = Meter/Sec
Gravitoelectric Permitivity = Gravitoelectric Flux per Gravitoelectric Field
= (Kg)(Second-Squared)/(Cubic Meter)
= 1/4(Pi)(G) = 1.1927E09 Kg-Sec^2/Meter^3
Gravitomagnetic Permeability = Gravitomagnetic Flux per Gravitomagnetic Field
