The photoluminescent films are films that absorb light and convert that light energy into visible wavelength of light. Photoluminescent in films is one of the form of light emission which is initiated by excitation of photons. They are ideal solution for emergency exits and directional signage in hips, airlines, buildings, ferries, railcars due to its superior luminosity and conformability. There are several factors that influence the photoluminescent films to glow for long in the dark the biggest factor would be how much amount of light energy it absorbs before the source of light is removed, if the photoluminescent film is left in light for a longer period of time it will glow for significantly longer period of time than left in the light for brief time. Initially if the source of light is removed the photoluminescent film will emit the energy rapidly as the photons move quickly, where about 80-85% of light emery will be exhausted for the first thirty minutes of being removed from the source of light and the glow will eventually fade as the energy is used. The photoluminescent films can be recharged as many times as required as the phosphor in those tapes can take absorb light and emit energy as many times as required.

A bearing is an element of a machine generally used to support other moving parts of the machine. While carrying any load, it helps in the relative movement between the connecting surfaces of the machine. Majority of the bearings are used to support the rotating shaft of the machine by holding it either radially or axially. Similarly, a magnetic bearing supports the load using magnetic levitation, without physical contact. A shaft is radially surrounded by magnets, which allow the shaft to spin in the air by levitation – this is the basic working principle of a magnetic bearing. Additionally, magnetic levitation is a method where magnetic force acts as a counter force to the effect of gravitational and other forces. Magnetic bearings are mainly of three types, namely active magnetic bearings, passive magnetic bearings, and hybrid magnetic bearings. An active magnetic bearing offers friction free, clean, efficient and reliable operation, and eliminates many other components of the machine. These magnetic bearings employ only electromagnets and are used in high speed rotating machines. On the other hand, hybrid magnetic bearings use a combination of electromagnets and permanent magnets for performing the operations.
