Learning about how drones work is so interesting! Great job!
I love drones, they are interesting and amazing! They can do so much, and they will be even better in the future. It’s sad about Tobias drone,
I would be very upset if I had lost my drone. Thank so much Acellus for making such a cool episode!
I love the science behind the drones you shared, I thought it was really fascinating.
Someone should tell R51 that his hat is NOT going to make him fly!!!
who invented the first drone?
This is a very fun way to learn about drones.
oopsie, I hope this counts as a comment because I forgot to watch the video the other week, and I’m trying to get the scholarship… anyways. As a kid we had a few little drones! They were fun. We had a super tiny one, too, that could fit in your palm.
I vote for 1! the area 51 guy is my favorite!
Who decided to add cameras to the drones?
What will future drones look like?
i love drone’s.
Wow! Drones fascinate me so much and this video increased that fascination by like 150%!! Thanks Acellus!
drones are so cool!!!!
are there any predicaments with future developments of drones
Cool
How do magnets turn electricity into power?
How do satellites connect to things on Earth?
Drones are very fascinating. I find it super cool that you can do so much with them.
It was so astonishing to learn about the GPS and its’ purpose.
It was very interesting!
I think remote control drones are really cool!
Wonder what the green drone is? Also, more of the corollas effect? Maybe spelling it wrong.
if all electrons have a left hand spin then its a magnet. that’s cool
Wow! Drones are actually really cool! I think if i tried to fly one it would crash! 😂
I love this! Thanks!
Drones Are Really Cool I Would be bad at driving it though
i find drones very cool and i really like drones
R 51 was so funny and we had a drone too.
I enjoyed learning how drones fly. My grandfather has one and I have tried to fly it, which is very difficult.
I really enjoyed learning about drones.
Why are there regulations on the neodymium magnets?
I had a drone before and now I know why it was able to get lost after going so high after this episode.
how far can a drone go from the remote with out it not being able to function
WOW! This is so cool, funny and interesting!
Its cool to see how drones work but do you think that in the near future drones would be the main transport or delivery?
I love how it explains everythimg
I didn’t know that drones have cameras to see where they are going.
Memorization is key in learning!!
drones are cool i like drones
I loved this video and learning about drones!
Has anyone noticed that Malachi said “I need to learn some Italian” in the episode on perpetual motion machines, and that he has a book on learning Italian on his desk in this episode?
Just a fun thought 🙂
Dr. John will forever be my favorite Stem teacher! I love the Technology Spotlight that he does!
Very interesting! drones are honestly rather cool.
What a funny episode!
Loved the video!! Drones are cooler then I thought.
r-51 is very fun
So cool!! I loved learning about drones!
how long would a drone fly in a hour
This is great
How was the first magnet discovered.
that is so cool that it uses magnets
Why can’t we attach solar panels to drones?
i am so excited for the next episode.it was funny too.
Drones are such cool inventions, and I enjoy hearing from experts about them! 😉
How do drone shows work with multiple drones?
How do you control multiple drones at once ?
I think it’s so cool that if gravity were to increase even by a little bit, we wouldn’t be able to fly the way we do. It’s so interesting to think about how the gravity on our earth allows us to walk and fly.
How much weight can a drone carry? Also, who came up with the idea of putting two propellers across from each other, going clockwise, and vis versa? I also had no idea that electrons were magnets… I feel like I should have realized that by now! Haha!
This was very interesting and very very educational. Thank you!
This is very interesting to me because I’m going into drone piloting for the military .
My big brother and my dad both got drones at Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach.
Can playing video games or simulator games make you better with piloting drones?
You can do so many things with drones, they have so many purposes, I love that about drones.
My sister has a drone with a camera on it and I love to fly it.
that was cool I love the way that you added drones in it to make it more intreging
This is so cool.
drones are so cool!
