Yes, I read the paper about them with interest. But it isn't
antigravity, it is just magnetism overcoming gravity. Nothing
different from maglev trains or the executive toys with a magnet
floating in the air. The solenoid construction they used was
interesting, but obviously not useful for (say) making a antigravity
car.
Making things fly isn't that hard, we have everything from balloons to
jet engines to catapults to do it. Antigravity is something more
specific.
