255. Ohm’s Law
What is Ohm’s Law, and how does it work? In this Science LIVE episode, Dr. Roger Billings simplifies it for students! Explore electricity basics as he explains the connection between voltage, current, and resistance with real-world examples and practical tips.
254. Nitric Oxide Crisis
Have you heard of nitric oxide and do you know why it matters? Learn more in this episode of Science LIVE as Roger Billings takes us back to 1972 and the General Motors Urban Vehicle Design Competition. Discover how he tackled the challenge of nitric oxide emissions and why his hydrogen-powered car had a cleaner exhaust than even the electric entries—with zero emissions!
253. Fun with Magnetism
Magnets are more than just fridge decorations—they’re key to some of the biggest innovations in science! This week on Science LIVE, Dr. Roger Billings explores how magnets and electromagnets work. He shares how electromagnets played a crucial role in his invention of the hydrogen engine. Plus, big news for Acellus students—the Acellus Gold Store is officially open! Find out how you can use your Gold Coins to unlock exciting rewards.
Gold hydrogen creates oil, thats why there are so many, well back then.
How many different sources of hydrogen are there?
“Why didn’t you quit?” Somebody asked. Roger Billings then said, “I wasn’t that smart. I was like a caveman screaming, “HYDROGEN, HYDROGEN!” He’s got passion and soul. We should be proud of Dr. RB for not giving up and even insisting that hydrogen works, still works, well done.
That’s awesome
hydrogen is so amazing and useful in this world!
Nice job yet again I enjoy watching these
This was an awesome episode.
I love R.51!!! He is so funny. I also agree that we should make a movie about Dr. Billings and the first hydrogen car.
that was cool
Hydrogen fuel has a high energy density, ignoring the weight of the storage tank. It’s better than gas and much better than batteries. Creating the hydrogen gas is akin to inefficiently charging high capacity batteries.
This is the most interesting Science Live episode I’ve seen yet! Hydrogen is extraordinary! I can’t believe there are so many different sources of it, and that we’ve been living on top of gold hydrogen that has been regenerating right below our feet.
Dr. Billings truly broke barriers in the science world. The story about the origin of his hydrogen engine made me believe that I can break barriers too. Sometimes what we think is impossible is really just undiscovered.
Watching again from AZ
I LOVE learning about hydrogen
It is all about the H over here.
In the beginning, there was…
using Hydrogen in cars is something I would never have thought of! Truly genius indeed.
the hydrogen car is so cool!
this was great
I love hydrogen can’t wait to see what happens next
I love hydrogen! It’s so fun and so useful!
When did the idea that a hydrogen car could be made come to you? When did you realize that your dream was becoming a reality?
Hydrogen is so interesting and it can be used for so many things
how about hydrogen 3 in space and Antarctica?!? more power and is less harmful.
i like that there was a video game for a educational math learning.
How cool
I love the math drills. Such a great idea!
Impressive that Mr. Billings was only a kid when he started his hydrogen car inventions
pretty cool
this video was so awesome!!
I wish I had a hydrogen car!
the club is cool.
I live in Vermont.
Wow, really cool.
Who invented solar panels?
And, how much hydrogen is in the earth?
These videos are all great and everyone makes them so much fun to watch. I really enjoyed seeing how the bus worked and look forward to seeing the advancements we make with hydrogen vehicles.
That was a great story.
How does the hydrogen not blow up like what happened to the blimp?
Good , really this subject of hydrogène is very interesting
I loved this episode of science live.
this is cool.
Watching from Texas.
Hydrogen is an amazing element and with the amount of it in the universe, we should use it as much as possible!
I liked when they talked about the wheat and how some people are allergic to wheat so they produced something that gluten free people could eat too.
HYDROGEN is Much more My TIPE hydrogen is very cool stuff when you mix hydrogen peroxide with bleach it starts to bubble
I am just astonished 🙀
I wonder where the advanced ideas of hydrogen will take us. Will there be new discovered sorces of energy in the future?
this was a very interactive learning video with lots of information
It’s so cool learning new things from the science love crew!
I never knew hydrogen had been along for so long?
i never knew this was how hydrogen began its really cool to see this stuff
Could hydrogen completely replace gasoline in the future, and how reliable would it be?
A hydrogen car would be so cool to own
This live was so funny I enjoyed it!
It is so impressive that Dr. Roger Billings made the first hydrogen-fueled car as a high school senior. I hope I can achieve something significant when i’m in high school, too.
what a good show i love it
such an awesome episode!
Are hydrogen cars going to make it out into society? When they do are they going to be cost friendly?
such an interesting topic!
so good
interesting! I love these videos
Wow, this is really cool!
I love hydrogen cars!
Awesome
I always love watching these science lives, they always spark an interest on what more I could learn.
I like how Tobias was encouraging about not quitting when someone tells you that something can’t be done.
How long did it take to fix the backfires?
How long did it take to make the hydrogen house?
It would be fun to drive a hydrogen car
