Someone already has.

John Curl took one apart.

It's just a conventional 0.02 ohm metal film resistor that's stuffed inside some sort of ceramic tube (the leads of the QP are simply the leads of the resistor), some end caps are placed over the ends of the ceramic tube and some sort of "stuff" is painted onto the ceramic tube. It's then covered with heatshrink.

Although Bybee has predicated these devices from day one on the concept of superconductivity (and still does, their new "Slipstream" is just a marketing term to describe Cooper pair bonding, which is at the heart of the BCS theory of superconductivity), and has claimed that the ceramic used is a superconductive material, the material isn't even conductive to speak of as the things measure 0.02 ohms which is the same value as the resistor inside.

So no current flows through anything other than a conventional metal film resistor.

Which means that other than the effects of the resistor, the only thing these can possibly do is have an effect on the external electric and magnetic fields as a consequence of the permeability and permittivity of the materials used.
