"An apparatus has been constructed and tested in which the superconductor
is subjected to peak currents in excess of 10^4 A, surface potentials in
excess of 1 MV, trapped magnetic field up to 1 T, and temperature down to
40 K. In order to produce the required currents a high voltage discharge
technique has been employed."
Experimentally, eliminating dirt effects in a setup like this is a
nightmare. If it results in "radiation which propagates in a focused beam
without noticeable attenuation through different materials and exerts a
short repulsive force on small movable objects along the propagation
axis." though, this means the effect can be observed in a large distance
from the experimental setup, assuming the claims are true.
That would be easy enough to test.
