Yes.
Seems like this would be a fairly straightforward proof of concept experiment to fly outboard on the ISS. Basically a couple of charged screens with force transducers on the screen mounts. It would seem this is within the bounds of Figure 1, The Dipole Drive Accelerating Within a Magnetosphere.
Wish this paper had been published a year or two before SpaceX launched Elon's Tesla. They could have tested a new interplanetary drive.
