Over the years, several reports of experiments have been published claiming evidence of an
unusual interaction between superconductors and gravitational force fields. One of the best-known examples
is the work of E. Podkletnov et al. the “Impulse Gravity Generator” (IGG) experiment. Due to its potential
importance in physics, a setup for replication of the IGG experiment has been constructed. The following
article describes the experimental setup used to verify or contradict the claims made. The replication follows
the requirements specified by E. Podkletnov et al. as closely as possible. Additional modifications, where
made, enhanced the experimental possibilities. Superconducting emitters with two or more layers are
fabricated, cooled down to 35K and charged with different high-voltage generators to realize different
characteristic discharge curves. Two discharge chambers are employed to realize various superconductor
gas transitions, as well as superconductor metal transitions. Various sensors are used to measure
disturbances and vibrations. As a result, energy from a possible anomalous radiation can be proved to nine
orders of magnitude smaller than the smallest “gravity impulse” energy reported by E. Podkletnov et al.
