Not an answer, but if you think superconductor is weird, look up superfluid, now that's going to make your head spin.

why there are no good videos of superfluids in action in the whole internet?

I thought https://youtu.be/2Z6UJbwxBZI was pretty good, even if it's low res from being a bit dated.

there’s not a single high-quality video anywhere. Science YouTubers need to get on this

Thanks for the interesting new thing. If they suffer no loss in kinetic energy and a wave can move forever, could we use a circular pool of superfluid as an an energy storage mechanism?

Probably, but it's probably easier to just use a superconductor for the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic_energ...

Well, the whole thing must be at liquid helium temperature, so probably not practical ...

Superfluids have been around for ages - we call them beers.
