Perpetual Motion Machines
I loved the technology section where it talked about how you can convert energy from gravity & different types of energy . I also enjoyed the Roger billings section where it explained perpetual motion using the drinking bird.
good stuff tobias
Ah, perpetual motion! If only someone would find a way to actually make it work. I know that one day someone will figure this out but, when this happens, it will change the course of history for the good and the bad. Long live Earth! Hang in there everyone.
Science is so cool
Interesting
I loved the Drinking birds too! Pretty cool ‘magic’
THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perpetual motion was a really cool subject and I enjoyed learning it.
Cool
The animated cartoon with Dr. Billings are always funny.
I learned about Arthur Beverly
this is amazing information.
How much is one of the machines
The drinking birds are awesome
You guys always do a really good job with the recording. I enjoy this a lot
nice
I like R.51 and his perpetual emotional machine. Great job Dr.B with your ninth grade invention as well.
the science lives are enjoyable
I love this video
This is some good info.
These machines are going to be something.
I LOVED THE DRINKING BIRDS!!!!!!!
Very interesting. Love birds.
I had no idea solar panels only converted about 20 percent
Perpetual motion is fascinating
R.51 is hilarious! It would be so cool if we could figure out how to make a perpetual motion machine eventually
The birds were interesting.
So fun I love the science lives
That was very impressive for what I saw
Those birds are cool.
this video was so cool
Perpetual motion is so interesting so interesting
love the drinking bird
the drinking bird was cool
Perpetual motion is fascinating
How come my Sign In For Credits won’t work. I keep trying, like my name is Gavin Laatsch, and I’m in 7th grade. So I put in my regular information. Which is Glaatsch then 7grade. Help!!
Very interesting learning how perpetual motion works
I really liked the drinking birds. They were cool because they went down to drink water.
Those birds are awesome!
don’t worry dr b my brain is like fort knox to
this video is so so cool
That was the most coolest one yet
R-51 hahahahahahahahaha he is so so so so so funny R-51 needs to be in more SCIENCE LIVE
I Love your videos
So when the engine turned the alternator, it didn’t produce enough electricity? Do you think there would be a workaround to power the electrolyzer in addition to the alternator, such as solar panels or some way to give the car extra power?
I liked R-51’s perpetual motion machine. LOL
My question is why are we not using hydrogen engines cars today?
Yeah it is so fun
😆 R-51 is so much fun
I didn’t know sound was a type of energy
✌ r-51
R-51 needs some more air. He needs to be on more science lives.🤘
thank you for showing me what perpetual motion is. I appreciate it
My favorite part is the homeschool best practices! It’s so cool!!
I knew R-51 liked Lady Pajet Monet
Why do we not use hydrogen engines in our cars today?
Why are we not using hydrogen engines today?
This is the first episode I watched. What an episode! The Pajet Motion Machine was absolute GOLD.
In the Acellus store, I can’t see the magic cards
R. 51 IS NI (no intelligence)
I loved learning about perpetual motion!
I really liked the video of the wright brothers.
I love your videos!!!
I’m very interested in the history of perpetual motion machines. What are some other examples of scientists in early history attempting to create perpetual motion machines?
I LOVE the drinking bird! It’s cute and brilliant! In my opinion it’s the best part of the episode in my opinion!
I really liked learning about the bird dippers
It was really interesting to learn about perpetual motion
If a perpetual motion machine was created It would solve a ton of problems, but new problems would arise and some problems would still exist.
I love the way it talks about all the different types of energy and gives you examples
So cool ngl I love science
Thanks for telling us how the drinking birds worked!
Very informative!
I liked the water birds at the end.
I think the drinking birds are really cool, I never knew how they worked.
Video was very interesting, thank you.
i just love it the ways r-51 so much.
I love the way you explained perpetual motion machines in a way I can understand, thank you.
That was one of the best Science Live videos I have seen in a while! Thanks Acellus!!
Great commentary and presentation!
I just love the music and intros and R-51 and Tobias and Dr. John and Billings and Pajet. It is all so fun!
loved the drinking birds !!
im excited for this episode
I thought that lamp was a great idea! I guess not… Interesting facts about energy.
This is a super cool episode
This was an amazing episode very intriguing! I learned something new today!
The birds are cool!
I thought this was a cool episode.
what happens if the machines over heat? what could be the damage?
so cool i love this!
I liked this video because I got more information on the “Drinking Bird”.
😂 Perpetual Emotional Machine
Social and be emotional 😅
So informative!
I always wondered how those birds worked.
Thanks for explaining it.
i liked learning about perpetual motion and im glad im using acellus
I love science live videos, always entertaining.
I really enjoy learning about science
The way that the birds can move up and down without power is amazing!
I like the birds moving up and down!
science is really cool
Enjoyed this video. I am a huge Einstein fan was excited to see that he studied perpetual motion.
I enjoyed watching.
I loved this video it was so much fun and it was really funny
This episode was very creative in the way it was made, Nice work! I enjoyed learning about perpetual motion machines and the difficulties of them working.
I’ve always thought about how perpetual machines work, this was a nice explanation to the topic, I enjoyed watching this and encourage you to keep making these.
This was very entertaining!!
this video was awesome
I signed up to be in the Ventioneering club.
Loved it!
Very good!!!!!!!!!
I liked the drinking birds
I liked the drinking bird
“we need a italian ” that dude is funny as heck
The reason that drinking birds aren’t perpetual motion machines are because the water in the container will eventually evaporate and the birds will stop drinking,
Good information.
Do you believe in perpetual motion
Why do we never see R in the R-51 videos?
Great video
I really loved the video about the wright brothers it was pretty interesting!
I think perpetual motion is interesting and I’m glad that I could earn a science credit.
This is my first episode lots of information very interesting!
i found this one very cool and i loved the drinking bird
I wonder if we ever will make a perpetual motion machine that works!
I like science!
I think it is very interesting how the drinking birds work:)
I Found This Video Very cool
that video was sooo cool I love science live 🙂 lol
Gravitational energy is very interesting!!
Its pretty amazing
Awesome video.
Really good information on energy
I love your videos.
Love this
this was a awesome episode
it was very cool!
Awesome Sauce
this is intresting
How can a machine be created that defies the laws of physics?
Your comment about you don’t get something for nothing. My parents say this all the time!
I like the way you explained perpetual motion with a fun example like the drinking birds.
I didn’t know how those birds worked before this, and now I do!
It was very good! I love science video!
Very interesting! I never quite considered how the dipping birds worked, but they’re actually rather interesting, the “Perpetual emotion machine” bit was also great
Loved the Ventioneering Club segment! Was really interesting to watch.
I have always wondered how those drinking birds worked. Fascinating!
Great video
Very awesome
I am fascinated by perpetual motion!
I love this!
I have watched this video twice and again and again I find it interesting and learn something new.
The different inventions really show creativity though! The clock that hasn’t been rewound is pretty amazing.
perpetual motion is very interesting.
Hi! Skylar’s question really got me thinking what does happens if the bird overheats? But i’m also wondering what happens if the bird gets to cold will the water still evaporate?
Why are the drinking birds not considered a perpetual motion machine?
I love Science Live videos!
Can you show R.51 more please?
Why does it overheat?
Wow! Science is amazing!
To answer the last two comments first. [Comment1. It currently isn’t possible for humans to harness the power of the earth rotating on its axis. Comment 2. My guess is the drinking bird will stop working or the liquid in the drinking bird would explode.] For my question, where can I get the tools to make drinking birds? They were so coooool!
The drinking bird was amazing 🤩🤩🤩
I loved the drinking bird!
Can you add closed captioning on the videos after they’ve been recorded please.
Would perpetual energy help the fight against global warming?
The livestream was amazing as always, very interesting. I can’t decide if I enjoy the facts about technology and its history, the science facts, or the explanations of recent advancements in technology more.
I liked the way he explained how perpetual motion works
What happens if the drinking bird overheats?
How long do you think until humans can harness the power of the earth rotating on its axis?
I loved it and I thought the 3d printer was cool!! Im learning something new everyday!
I enjoyed learning about perpetual motion and how it works. Thank you.
I liked R-51’s perpetual motion machine. LOL
I can tell I’m gonna love these science live videos!
I love this thank you
Good information!
I love this video
who inspired Dr.Billings
