Some Mercury is used in flourescent lamps, including CFLs.
Many streetlights use mercury-vapor lamps.
Many dentists still use mercury-silver amalgam to fill teeth.
In the past it has been used in thermometer's or a means of closing circuits such as thermostats and tilt sensors.
I am trying to help find a way to super-cool mercury to create a super-fluid that will power an anti-gravity electromagnetic torus.
The problem is that mercury freezes solid it needs an anti freeze solution.
