    Dear Dr. Billings and team, could you do a video on natural disasters and how they work and the precautions to take about them? I think it’s a very important and knowledgeable topic even more so when natural disasters hit all around the globe. How they work and what they do could be a very important or even life saving information for a viewer.

    Guess what Dr. Roger Billings? The episode of The New Hydrogen Steam Engine was really, really good and it was also very, super-duper funny! R-51 made me laugh super hard when he was teaching about the hydrogen steam engine and where it a food cafeteria on wheels! 🤣😆😂😅😉😀😁🤣😎🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂choo-choo, choo-choo! Chaga chew chew-chew! R-51 also made me laugh super when he was teaching Lady Pajet Monet that he “gets” her when he was teaching her about choo-choo-ing your food on the Chaga choo-choo new hydrogen steam engine! LOL! Hey Dr. Roger billings could you pretty, pretty with sugar on top free R-51 from the lab was he doesn’t want to be anymore? Pretty please Dr. Roger Billings? Lady Pajet Monet also wants R-51 to be free too! So, can pretty, pretty please free him out of the lab before he is stuck there forever, please? I also think that he deserves to be free. Also, R-51 promises very much, to you, that he is going to really behave if he’s free. I also loved the show very much! I also learned a lot of things during your 238th episode which was actually pretty great! 😎🥹👻🤓😻🐵🐶🐼🐨🐻‍❄️🐻🐈🐈‍⬛🐬🐋🦢🕊️🦋👸🏻🤴🏻🫅🏻🧜🏻🧜🏻‍♂️🧜🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻👏🏻🫶🏻✨🎉🎆🎇🎊🎃🎄🎋🎍🎎🎡🎗️🎞️👓💍💎🎖️🏅🥉🥈🏆🪄🔮📯📟📲🪪💻🖥️📸📷📺📔🍕🥐🥨🍳🥚🥓🍞🧀🥗🥪🥯🥖🥞🧈🍿🌭🍔🍟🍘🍙🥠🥟🫔🌮🌮🎂🍪🍩🍨🫕🥮🍢🧆🥘🍲🍦🥧🍝🍧🧁🍰🍩🍫🍬🍭🍡🍮🍯🍼🥛🍑🍒🍓🥭🍉🚂😅😂😆😀😁😉

    So, someone can be exposed to an idea, or a pre existing machine, process, etc, and build up on it, to create a more effective version of the same product. You don’t necessarily have to create something entirely new. While creating something something entirely out of the ordinary, and something that has never been done before, is awesome, and is encouraged, it is a very long process, and is particularly difficult, but not impossible, in the current developed world. In contrast, building off of a current existing system, or product to make it more efficient, is a more practical, and feasible way of inventing in my opinion.
