Abstract: (Springer)
Torr and Li claim to have shown that experimentally detectable gravitomagnetic and gravitoelectric fields can be generated in a superconductor. We review their calculations and show that because of unrealistic assumptions the fields that they calculate are too large by many orders of magnitude.
