Attrahite - A metal that conducts gravity

+0
−0

I have a metallic alloy called "Attrahite" in my world that conducts gravity the way that copper conducts electricity. Currently in the world, passing an electric charge through Attrahite "activates" it, conducting gravity, and leaving it without a charge "blocks" gravity from passing through. Thus, you can create all kinds of toys like anti-gravity plates, "telekinesis" gloves, or an infinite sources of electricity (by spinning a turbine).

It's a fun idea, but I have a few problems with it (aside from the fact that it would blatantly violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics). Can anyone think of a way that gravity could be manipulated by a material like this? Is it at all plausible, or should I find myself a new gimmick?
