In a response by Pervect to another topic, he mentioned a device called a Forward mass detector, named after its inventor Dr. Robert Forward.
It's an intersting device with the claim that it can detect small gradients in the curvature of spacetime.
I couldn't find any info regarding someone that has built one, but I might just give it a try. Maybe I'll see if Jodi Foster wants to take a ride in it. ;-D
He passed away in 2002. Here's a link to his website:

Also, I created a pdf of the patent for the detector (U.S. patent 3,273,397), but it's larger than this forum will allow to be posted (the pdf is 1.6MB). If anyone wants it they can email me at bwalance(at)roadrunner.com
I have attached a couple of pics from his book showing the detector.
Thanks for the tip, Pervect.
