How do solar panels not overheat from the sun.
Cool.
Can people make a lot of money from their patents? Can anyone be an inventor?
How long does it take to get a patent in another country? Is it longer or shorter than the US?
Patents seem important for protecting new solar inventions, but I wonder how they affect sharing new tech with the rest of the world..
How does a person know if it is a real patent or a fake one?
Is it possible to a patent to appropriate to be sent to another client, company, business, or owner to use what you or somebody else has written a patent?
I learned that solar panels collect the sunlight’s energy.
I got to know a lot of interesting things about getting patents from this video, so fun to watch it!
Is there any perminent way to store solar energy
It’s cool that you can get energy from solar panels.
Amazing!
I loved this and I helped me get to know new thing and it fun thanks so much acellus
if we can get energy from solar panels due to the sun, how do we get it when there is only snow for a week
It’s super cool that every single one of us gets to learn more specifically about the Science of the world!
It is also super supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! That all the people all around the whole wide world get to learn more about the technology and circumstances about science live!
I learned so much, and how to get a patent.
How much money do solar panels save on energy?
It was really interesting to learn that solar panels use the light from the sun we can see.
Vey cool! my cousin has solar and hydropower
I had a lot of fun learning about solar energy in this video. (I joined the R-51 club)
Solar energy is amazing
I never knew that people tried making sand crystals to power electricity.
What age do you have to be to apply for a patent?
Hi I love the video about solar energy fun facts
Solar energy is a decent way to make electricity
So cool!
Hi, I learned a lot about solar energy and it was very interesting.
I liked the part about the solar energy. I learned information on how solar panels worked. I learned how to look up patents and who invented them.
How long until we have solar panels that can use more types of uv for better energy?
We just got solar panels on our house and it was very cool.
This is great!!
Those pins inpres me!
There is a infinite power source guys just don’t realize where and what it is!
Can people make a lot of money from their patents? Can anyone be an inventor?
Awesome video!! I had always found Solar Panels very fastenating, so this vid took my interest to the next level. Imagine solar collectors being able to move with the sun, the possible applications are endless!! Thank you Acellus, this was fun.😀
I like the part where Area 51 was at and when he put the teachers face on the moving flowers. That was funny.
A family friend is turning their farm to solar and I’m getting a lot of in person information on how it works. I still can’t believe how they work.✌
my family back home just got solar panels and there loving it
My dad is a master electrician and he installs these solar panels on houses. I think it is so cool how this runs whole houses.
That is very cool area 51 is so much fun
Me and my dad searched the Google patent website and found Dr. Roger billings! Super interesting to see all his ideas 🙂
Is there anything you can’t patent?
I liked those funko pop things that they had made. I have a uncle that works in electrical stuff and he worked on a solar field so I got to hear how they worked and how much power they all make.
I never thought I would learn so much about patents in one day.
they are cool i wish i had one too
I think that solar panels are super-duper crazy cool! I also think that the energy from them, and that the reflection!
I WANT A DRB Funko POP IN THE STORE
cool
This is so cool
good for you i wish i had solar panels they look so cool and sound so cool.
Its really cool to know that phosphorus has an extra electron!
Wow! This was a very informative video about solar energy and patents. I think patents are important because they help protect creative ideas, and their creators. I am excited to see how solar energy impacts our future over the next 10-20 years.
Solar panels are used to generate energy from sunlight. I wonder if we will be able to invent and figure out a way to use the light we get from the moon.
It is encouraging to know that even famous physicist, Albert Einstein, had trouble with learning math. It encourages me to persevere and try harder, even if I have trouble understanding something.
I found it interesting to learn about how solar energy is absorbed into panels and how we can convert it into electricity.
How many solar panels would you need to power a house?
Very cool video!
I have a question how much money do solar panels save on energy?
Oh wow! I learned so much about patents
I am so excited to learn about solar energy! I have solar panels on one side of my roof.
nice
Do other countries have solar panels?
love this.
How did people make it so solar panels don’t overheat?
Cool
Hi this is a cool lesson
Although solar energy sounds good, are there any downfalls to it verses another process? The sun can have downfall to humans, so have the downfalls been seriously looked into?
solar energy is a great way to make electricity
How will the use of solar energy affect people who live with limited sunlight?
learning about solar panels and patents was really interesting
I would really love to be able to patent something someday.
Love it!
R-51 is sooo funny 😆
It waas very interesting
Does solar energy use UV rays or heat?
When submitting a patent, do you have to send prototype of what you’re trying to patent?
How did humans find solar energy?
how often do you publish science live
R-51 is sooo funny
I like your content and solor panels and UV rays are awsome and great ways to get sunlight because reptiles plants and amphibians need sunlight to stay warm because they’re ectotherms.
The solar calculator works in the light but it doesn’t work in the dark so if I turn the light off it doesn’t work but if I turn it on it does work
Solar panels are also a great way to get electricity and they’re good for the environment and the planet.
Solar Panels are very interesting.
How did people make it so solar panels don’t overheat? The sun can have downfall to humans, so have the downfalls been seriously looked at?
so cool
Funny and informational video, but now I understand how it works.
Coming from Durant, MS
how does the solar panel not overheat?
Solar energy has helped many people in different countries have access to electricity.
I love watching the weekly episodes.
It’s so cool how solar converts the sun to energy.
I want to patent something in the future. How cool.
How much do solar panels cost and how much energy do they save?
Solar panels are very cool and very interesting.
What kind of solar energy does uv heat use.
Is solar more efficient?
I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i learned so much about solar energy!
can people make a lot of money writing patents?
