In case you've not seen this, it relates to the many claims
of how rotating masses somehow sling 'something' outwards to
alter weight. DePalma as well as the many inertial drive
claims refer to it as using 'matter currents'.
It appears to be a redirection of inertia by using angular
momentum. Like a sponge full of water (aether producing
'weight' and inertia), being spun to cause the water to be
thrown out, so the sponge becomes lighter. But it will
refill once the spinning stops.
The best analogous model I've seen of this in practical use
is the 'Levitron' which isn't antigravity but appears to use
centrifugal force to prevent the magnet from flipping.

We are therefore left with the option of controlling it in
the same way as we have always done, as, for instance, with
the flights of artificial satellites, where gravitation is
used as centripetal force which is controlled by the
centrifugal force created by the rotation of the satellite
around the Earth.
At the speed at which centrifugal force becomes equal to
centripetal force (gravitation) the weight of the satellite
disappears and astronauts find themselves in a weightless
condition, etc.
At this point in time this is the only method we have to
control gravitation. This work, however, indicates how this
method can be considerably improved, as well as
demonstrating how centrifugal force which controls
gravitation can be created when a mass we want to become
weightless is not rotating around the Earth.
When speaking about GRAVIFUGAL force we are in fact
referring to a certain kind of centrifugal force created
through rotation in which gravitation functions as
centripetal, (i.e. GRAVIPETAL ) force.
Such a concept of GRAVIFUGAL force is based in Newton’s
understanding of gravitation as an attractive force, on the
law of action and reaction and the law of inertia, and has
been deduced from them by means of the mathematical
apparatus provided by Hygen’s theory of centrifugal force.
Direction of “GRAVIFUGAL” force is always opposite to that
of gravipetal (gravity).
