I'm surprised it does its thing for so long when everything around it is
at much higher temperature, and it has no inherent cooling ability.

That's pretty neat, though. Would make good bearings - apart for the
power needed to keep it sufficiently cold ;-)

There are, or at least were, kits available to demonstrate the Meissener
Effect in your kitchen. They were the subject of countless kids' science fair
projects. It's all died down, now, so maybe time to roll it out again.

The flux pinning is the interesting part.

The possiblity of being able to distribute a million amps current down
a cable the size of a human hair is even more interesting.
The elimination of transfomers.
