A stationary apparent weight shift from a transient Machian mass fluctuation

A transient mass fluctuation, predicted by Lorentz-invariant theories of gravitation wherein inertia is gravitationally induced, can be combined with a synchronous thrust to produce a stationary change in the apparent weight of an object. A substantial effect of this sort—on the order of tenths of a gram or more—should be achievable in laboratory scale apparatus. A detailed derivation of the predicted transient mass fluctuation is given in an appendix.
