R-51 was Soo funny!! 😂
This was my first Science Live episode, and I really enjoyed it! Definitely will be watching more <3
Watching this reminded me how grateful we need to be towards great minds like the Wright Brothers. Without them and so many others, where would are wonderful world be? Keep up the great work Acellus, I love it!!!!
I think the history, technology, and all of the studying and exams you have to take to be able to fly a plane are so awesome and can’t wait to see what features will make flying easier in the future!
I like watching these episodes, thank you!
This was a fun one to watch!
What happen if the birds wing is messed up or what happens if the bird has less feathers?
How do airbrakes work?
This such a good episode
nice to know
Thank you for explaining what ventioneering means. The story about the Wright brothers really helped me understand it. I hope I can apply this concept in my life.
R-51 was funny as heck!
episode 230
I would love to learn to fly a plane.
so cool
I loved watching this video! R-51 made my day!!!:)
R-51 is the best part about listening to these lol 😉
R-51 is very funny!
1 I did not know that airplanes needed the extra wings for something. 2 I saw that there were two types of flying flapping fast and like gliding. 3 close to the end they tried to do vertical takeoff and i laughed
Loved this!!
this was fun to watch
I’ve never watched science live before, it was an interesting first episode. It lets me learn without any effort, practically a movie. It’s fun to watch and I’m already thinking about all I could learn with science live, I hope to keep seeing episodes like this one!
Thank you for making this episode, I really enjoyed it!
I love Dr. Billing’s jet!
This was so fun to watch!
This one was fun
what exactly is liquid hydrodron and what all can it be used for?
Will vertical takeoffs be viable for airplanes in the future
I liked watching this video. It is interesting to hear all of the historical facts.
I enjoyed learning about the history and technology of flying a plane.
This video was interesting and I learned a lot from it. Thanks
This was a good episode. I like watching these
Learning about the wright brothers and what started their curiosity was very cool.
I like the different planes!
When I get older I’m going to make a new kind of plane that can go really fast!
How many commercial flights are there each year now?
That was really fun to watch. I have liked airplanes since I was a baby. The information was really interesting and cool to learn.
CANT WAIT 😀
Great video
Love it. Can you make one with centrifugal force.
It was interesting to find out vultures were an inspiration in the making of aircrafts! I loved learning more about this subject.
Very funny to watch
I wonder what kind of buttons would need to be pressed in flight and when taking off.
Im so excited about the upcoming technology of airplanes.
Very interesting to learn about how they fly
who invented the first solar powered plane?
it was very interesting!!
Does hydrogen have a lower energy density than actual fuel ?
Flying is one of the many things that people do not get the chance to even do for me. I think it is very fascinating that just two brothers and a little bit of science came up with the modern day airplane, which advanced to the airplanes that we have today.
Great episode, thank you. I loved to hear of the history in the discovery of airplanes. Look forward to more episodes.
thank you for this amazing lesson
so cool!
I feel confident enough to build a plane now, which is pretty darn cool. Or at least a glider, I don’t have the money to buy plane fuel.
This was really interesting! Clouds are so beautiful from above!!
This video was really cool to watch And i loved R-51
this video was really amazing and I love clouds
I like this episode because I used to want to be a pilot.
I loved this episode very good!
Great live
The wright brothers are cool too learn about
I think the light bulb is cool because it lights up without being plugged in
I missed this over the summer! I enjoyed this so much!
I ‘m not that into inventing yet but I still found this interesting.
Awesome information!
Super cool! Now I’m even more excited about airplanes than before!
this is all about flying, so good, i love flying
this is all about flying, so good, i love flying, i will be flying one day, and become the greatest pilot ever live, I hope theres a second episode about this
I am re-watching this, looking for the “Ventenioring Club”’s presentation, I want to know what drone Malichi used…did they cut that from the video? I can’t seem to find it….. But otherwise great video!
This was my favorite Roger billings so far!
I love Dr. billings jet
I really enjoyed this science live!!
Why dose a airplane have curved wings.
Mr, Dr. Billings made the first hydrogen car, the first hydrogen fork lift, and the first hydrogen powered motoercycle ant the first hydrogen bus and the first hydrogen house that he actually lived in. Mr. Dr. Billing made amazing things.
R-51 is so funny
How do you make a hydrogen powered car?
I loved that video!
Great episode!!
I just came back, and WOW! Everything is so different! I love it though, granted I was a little nervous when I didn’t see MR. Tobias second. Haha glad he is there though, I also love how his ties always match what he is talking about!
This episode and it’s topic is great! So much fun to learn about the Wright Brothers!
cool
I like learning about the Wright brothers. Orville flew 50 miles on his plane.
Our family wants to take a trip to the outer banks and visit the Wright Brothers museum.
I really enjoyed this episode, I’ve always been interested in flying!
I wish that the Wright brothers could have the chance to see how far technology has come. And to think that only 66 years after the first flight we landed on the moon is just crazy to me!
My younger sister will be using Acellus to enhance her reading abilities, which she needs to succeed in all of her classes. As for me, I’m a passionate bookworm who thoroughly enjoys reading.
So cool!
Always been interested in airplanes, great video
I wish I could own a jet like you some day.
I love science live so much
R51 is so funny
I made a small wooden biplane but I haven’t tested if it fly’s yet.
why is the new hydrogen planes not able to go as far if it is 1/3 of the wight of jet fuel and can be compressed, All so there are plans to extract hydrogen 3 on the moon.Why can’t we use this insted of other hydrogen it would be abel to cool the front mush better and have a greater power output.
Interesting
this episode was very interesting
This was awesome
Why did the project get stalled in california?
It was fascinating hearing about all of the different working parts of the wings for the airplane. Never would have thought of it like that.
I LIKE R-51. He’s sooo funny
i love they way it explains everything about this subject

I watched this video a few weeks ago. It was so cool learning about airplanes and how they’re powered.
how long would it take to build an all wooden plane?
How does that lightbulb light up when it is not connected to anything?!
💡
This was a very interesting episode.
Such an interesting invention.
My Mom is so scared to fly.
It’s amazing how airplanes can transport over 200 people at 1 time.

I want to be in the air force when I get older. I love the power of speed. Airplanes go over the top with their speed.
Watching from Texas.
This was very interesting with lots of information about airplanes
This science lives just like all the others was great.
I remember watching a YouTube video about the largest aircraft in the world but it was never built yet.
