#6  Me..I'm thinking...gun or cannon usage. Might lead to a new way of thinking about railguns, coilguns and their brethren.

#4  There could be a nice earth based place too. Put them in UFO type craft and the field would strengthen and weaken as the Gs from the craft manuvering strengthen and weaken. You could have pilots doing 20g manuvers without any worry about blacking out or their organs pooling in their feet.

#3  Hat tip to Zoe Brain, BTW.
The authors speculate that gravitomagnetic fields could be produced in any cryonics lab.

#2  Very Interesting.

Harnessing an effect like this could be a boon to long duration space travel.
