The theory of gravimagnetism quantitatively predicts specific effects
on orbital bodies, including changes in orbital periods and bizarre
effects on long tethers. See especially pages 18 and 19 of:
http://mtaonline.net/~hheffner/FullGravimag.pdf
Page 36 also has verifiable predictions regarding how such mechanics
affect black holes and galactic geometries. Of special note is:
"Material in a clockwise orbit, as seen from the north pole,
experiences an outward [gravimagnetic] Lorentz force, which reduces
the apparent gravitational force and thus increases the orbital
period for its orbital radius."
The theory also provides explanations for various orbital anomalies,
like the Pioneer anomaly. See also:

Something not included in the above analyses of mine is that the
gravimagnetic field of the earth is much larger than that which can
be predicted purely from its rotation. This much larger field is due
to a statistically significant nuclear spin alignment for nuclei in
earth materials, especially the core, and there is evidence for this
from slingshots around the earth. However, even this spin related
gravimagnetic field does not account for all the extra observed
"lift", so I think the observation must be due to a combination of
extra fuel impulse and gravimagnetics. It is notable that
satellites going east to west should experience the opposite effect,
a shortening of orbital period for a given velocity, but I haven't
seen any data to support that. Such data should be fairly readily
available, except for the fact that such satellites are typically
military.
I can't account for the reversal of the paraconical pendulum during
an eclipse. I can account in part for eclipse effects by graviton
shielding by the moon, but not the pendulum reversal effect. Such an
effect would be due to gravimagnetic induction, i.e. d g / d t, and
that would apply to the earth itself too, so, since the earth doesn't
do this, I feel fairly sure that is not an explanation. I think the
Allais pendulum experiment needs good replication to be believed. I
have some experimental experience with pendulums, and I know first
hand they do some flakey and unexpected things due to air currents
and other kinds of unanticipated local forces.
