Hi guys :) I'm designing an automatic soap dispenser, in which the soap particles contain phosphors. These will emit visible light in the presence of UV light. I intend to have a small UV light source underneath the dispenser. Thing is, its really bright in bathrooms, and its tricky to see...

Ah so its already in use? That's quite cool. Reading that report, I am a little unclear. Is any power draw needed at all to keep the superconductors below critical temperature?

Hello all, Superconductors are great, but obviously its tricky to keep them at such a low temperature for extended periods of time. This poses a problem for engineering applications. What about the feasibility of cooling the superconductor, then placing the material in a vacuum chamber...
