steam engines Are so cool
Steam for an engine was a great idea
The horse power story actually having something to do with horses is so funny to me.
Steam engines are very cool, I personally didn’t know they did that
the steam engine was so creative
The steam engine was such a smart Idea
Hydrogen Steam Engines are very cool!
Hydrogen steam engines are really cool to learn about
Hydrogen is being used to fuel more and more innovative tools today, it’s interesting watching how the future of energy is being constructed!
Hydrogen steam engines are interesting
So cool
Hydrogen is so cool!!
that’s interesting how steam engines could work.
I just have to watch this twice. I cant resist!
its so crazy and wonderful how this world works and everything we have been able to make from it!!
nice
This was fun learning about Hydrogen and Steam Engine.
so interesting!
thats really interesting
Oxygen is said to support combustion, therefore external and internal combustion engines suck in air so the oxygen component of air can support the combustion of fossil fuel
i know u can make steam by heating it up to 250 degree’s
This is a fascinating process!
This was fun
It was very interesting to learn that the first steam engine worked backwards, and they reversed it to work as locomotion,
The logic behind the tech is interesting.
Indeed, steam engines are quite interesting.
r – 51 on top
they always manage to make me laugh
very cool
This is so cool
very interesting
So much fun and exciting
i love Science Live
Awesome!
wow very interesting!
I’ve never heard steam engines described like this, which is really cool to me!
I didn’t know the first steam engine was a reverse and that is was used for a vacuum pump and not to propel something.
How many steam engines were created?
cool
super duper coolness steam engines.
Steam engines are so cool!! I never knew anything about them or their processes until now.
Amazing explanation
Steam engines are so interesting
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.
The history was very interesting!!
I love trains and this episode was one of my favorites. I learned a lot.
What do you think about acient alchemistrists? were they more like scientists?
HYDROGEN WAS DISCOVERED IN 1766 I T HINK
R.51 is so funny! He really gets Pajet Monet.
I loved lerning about the new hydrogen steam engine.
Awesome invention steam engines are really cool.
Did he create any other steam driven vehicles? Who created the the train and is the train considered a steam powered thing or no? Sorry if this to many questions I have tried to ask some other people they didn’t respond but I saw your comment and I thought I would ask you because maybe you would know.
nice information on steam engines
These are really cool to learn about
Why was it named the governor?
Steam engines are fascinating! Amazing video.
When was Hydrogen discovered I think It was discovered in 1766?
Did he create any other steam driven vehicles and who created the train?? And is the train considered a steam powered thin or no?? Sorry if this is to many questions but I am just curious I have tried to ask other people but they didn’t answer me back.
to answer your question Logan Walker hydrogen was discovered 1766
I never thought I could find steam engines this interesting. Also, big congrats to Anastasia!
The history was so interesting
I have an idea for a car that doesn’t pollute.
There is are pipes that redirect the polluted air into the car again to be used again.
P.s. I don’t know if this would work but at least try it someone I can’t cause I’m 9 lol
Interesting how James Watt used horses to explain the power of an engine. Thanks for encouraging us to think about and plan for our future, thinking about what I really love.
Hydrogen is a very interesting element.
really cool episode!! loved it
Steam engines have always been fascinating to me, imagine a steam truck or car in the future?
This episode was one of my favorite by far! Hearing about the history, how it affected the world, and who created the steam engine was extraordinary. I like how the inventor just thought of the idea while golfing, quite funny.
Realy a like this épisode!
Great video! It was very interesting! 🧐
amazing live!
Love it!
in 1803 Richard Trevithick made the first horseless carriage.
This is so interesting!
cool!
I think 🤔 steam engine are super cool and it’s so cool that the train 🚂 was open
My life goal is to be a dentist.
So hydrogen is a huge part into making a steam engine work , when these videos are created is it all to show how these all work together in the history and future of the world?
This is very cool
LOL. horsepower came from how strong the engine was too horses.
I really like learning about the hydrogen stem engine.
Thats cold!!!
I’m new to this program and I just watched it and u know I know a little bit about trains and stuff like that but now instead of reading on paper, . . .
I just learned a lot .
Very interesting!
This is epic! Hydrogen is very interesting, and I can’t wait to see more of it!
super cool video! one of my favorites for sure!
this makes me want to learn more about steam engines and there history
these is so awesome
What’s the biggest steam Engine and what does it power?
Richard Tarific was the person who made the first steam engine carrige i read some books and found out also great show helps get me thruogh the day.
I loved this!
The whole images are really cool!
Steam motors were interesting. I wonder if they sell any cars these days that have a steam motors.
This is cool how the steam engine works.
Hydrogen has been a great topic on science live, today’s episode about steam engines was interesting.
Wow! Fascinating!
What a great episode on steam engines, such great examples for us to see how they work. Thank you!
I love to learn about steam engines.
very cool ngl
What do the blades in a steam engine do?
So since they are making a bus with a steam engine would they ever make a plane or is it not possible?
How are steam engines made?
I learned a lot from watching this video. I understand more about hydrogen
R-51 is so funny
Cool video I enjoyed it
Wow! trains are pretty interesting!!
It’s more of a question then a comment, but did James Watt ever find a way to work his invention without too much power?
I had a small steam engine model. This was a good video.
How much lbs of pressure per square inch can hydrogen produce?
are steam engines hot?
The person who made the Horseless Carriage was Richard Trevithick in the 1820s.
It was a steam-driven vehicle.
Pajet likes R-51 never saw that coming cute. Love all.
very cool. So does pajet like R51.
She looooooooves R51 hahahahahah.
Was the Acellus library discontinued? I can’t find it anymore…
How long did it take to develop the final product?
R-51 is a riot!
Cool episode
I have always wondered where the term “horsepower” came from. It was quite interesting learning about how the pistons work in the steam engines to add horsepower.
The governor was such a great invention I wonder how he got the idea to make it look like and function how it does.
My goal so far is to save enough money so I can do gymnastics
Cool episode
It was a cool episode. I learned a lot about hydrogen!
Steam engines are so fascinating. Thank you for the lesson.
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! 😎🥹👻🤓😻🐵🐶🐼🐨🐻❄️🐻🐈🐈⬛🐬🐋🦢🕊️🦋👸🏻🤴🏻🫅🏻🧜🏻🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻👏🏻🫶🏻✨🎉🎆🎇🎊🎃🎄🎋🎍🎎🎡🎗️🎞️👓💍💎🎖️🏅🥉🥈🏆🪄🔮📯📟📲🪪💻🖥️📸📷📺📔🍕🥐🥨🍳🥚🥓🍞🧀🥗🥪🥯🥖🥞🧈🍿🌭🍔🍟🍘🍙🥠🥟🫔🌮🌮🎂🍪🍩🍨🫕🥮🍢🧆🥘🍲🍦🥧🍝🍧🧁🍰🍩🍫🍬🍭🍡🍮🍯🍼🥛🍑🍒🍓🥭🍉🚂😅😂😆😀😁😉
My brother always talks about horsepower and his truck!
Awesome video!
this is really cool!
I wonder when they’ll make a car out of that
Super cool👍🕶😎
Hoot! hoot! Everybody on board the Hydrogen train.
R-51 is funny!
Henry Ford made the first horseless carriage
It was Henry Ford
Cool episode!
Amazing
cool =]
Its pretty interesting how horsepower became a term because they needed something for the people to compare the engine power too!
James Watt was a genius!
Hydrogen will definitely help the environment if constantly used within steam engines for sure.
One of my favorite exhibits at the Ronald Regan library I got to visit was the exhibit on steam engines, so I really enjoyed this episode.
So cool. How old to join sience club?
hydrogen steam engines?? thats amazing
Wait so is there less pollution bc it’s hydrogen
This is so cool!!
Cool episode and i enjoyed it. I know it was only a small segment but i had no clue that’s how the term “horsepower” came to be. very interesting.
Really cool!
Anastasia’s journey was so interesting!!
I enjoyed learning about the hydrogen steam engine . I loved hearing about Anastasia’s journey! It was inspiring!
When was the element Hydrogen discovered?
My life goal when I grow up is to be a Captain for a Navy Aircraft carrier and protect my country.
trains have a special fact the first fact is that it works on train tracks and that is why I love trains and that is why we have the Metro trains nowadays
🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇
R – 51
Nice to know about engine steams
Hit the ball drag Harry hit the ball drag Harry That cracked me up! If I were him I would have put Harry in the sand trap and would have came back for him after I got done playing golf ⛳⛳
R-51 is the best! He said, “well… I do know everything! Its so embarrassing to know everything! I just cant help it! I try to be… Modest. But I just can’t help it! I’m so smart!” 😂😂😂😆😆😆 LOL!
cool =]
i don’t like that drb pours super cold 💦💦💦💦 on his ideas i mean at least let him be silly
Richard Trevithick 😀
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.
I didn’t actually know the fact that Hydrogen is a big part and component of how steam engines work. Pretty cool.
how long ago was hydrogen discovered?
I Like to eat! That would be cool in a cafeteria a miniature train going around the place, passing out food! He is “so smart” 😜😏
super cool episode
i thought the golf story was funny
hi guys it amazing that steam Engine
is so cool so or u guys this is sooo cool respond to my comment =D
These are so interesting!
R-51 bailed Dr.B out of the dog house when he forgot to bring Pajet a train Lol. I also liked R-51’s joke about people that are hungry ride the train. 🚂🚂🚂
I can’t wait to learn more about steam engines!
