Wow!
Can you magnetize every metal?
From Max Rovira in Virginia
O my goodness R-51 nearly made me die from laughter!!!!!! I WANT A BIG MOUTH!!!(A toy one, not a real one lol) Also I think that the motor kits are a really good idea. I voted for the spider-like robot.
What about pulse modification radio (pm)?
Motors are cool! For some reason, my comments never work when it is put in watch now.
The segment on getting better grades really helps.
So cool!!!! I love this website. Acellus changed my life so much!!!
I liked the spider-like mechanism. It looks very advanced and efficient.
A moter is in a fan?
science is soooooo amazing
Thank you science live and the teachers
I vote for AC-D2
This was a great session and I enjoyed it.
Right that it is totally fair for R-51 to have a video intro? I mean, everyone else has one and R-51 is also part of Science Live.
Interesting
I loved this episode
Excellent video! Electric cars seem like a good way to reduce our dependence on gas and save money on gas. It’s just that my thing about electric cars is that when the Electricity turns off, what will charge your car?
Nice video, really fascinated by the electric motor system and the ways it can be used.
i thought it was cool when they need electricity to work a compass.
did u find the mars meteor
amazing science live keep up the good work guys
I like motors and love how they work
I love what makes motors work
wow soo cool i like this epoisod and i was the first to do a comment ;]
Mr. Tobias is cool!
It is so cool on how electric motors work! You guys are awesome for letting us kids know this stuff!
i love electric motors
I always wondered about motors. It’s so cool that it can send signals. science is the best. Who agrees👍🏻 reply.
what are the key components that make an electric motor work.
People that take notes score higher then people who don’t take notes. The people that take notes score about 13% higher
for the others out there take notes it will help you get through life
I find all of these videos interesting
This was excellent at teaching how electric motors work! We need this to start engines, power fans, and do more daily life things!
what is the difference between electroic motors and regular motors, and which is more effective?
I like motors
Yes kit please
how does the motor tell everything else to move?
I’ve always been fascinated by how electric motors work, but never fully understood them. Now thanks to Dr. B I understand them fully and now know who to make simple ones. So thank you very much for this awesome video!!!
Learning about how electric motors work is interesting.
sounds interesting
such a cool subject
Thank you for the information. 🙂
“all of us celebrities will be moving to canada” lmao
What was the IQ of the inventor of the inventor who made the first one? Did he go to school?
Checking in.
I understand how they work and this was a great video.
I thought it was very cool when you showed how to build an electromagnet.
👍
thank you for teach us how to make electric motor works.
fun!!!
The little robot can do ballet! That one is my favorite.
WOW
Thats an interesting fact that notes help you study better, because I use the Google Docs on my computer to take notes for my Acellus subjects.
very interesting
Wow! Cool to learn about electric motors.
Amazing! R-51 is very entertaining 😀
This was a really interesting video. Thanks!
What motor kits will we have?
Just like Max, I live in Virginia too. It is so cool that Acellus students are all over the world!
Great lesson, electric motors are a great invention.
the dancing robots are hilarious
this is so cool
evolution of anything is so cool to see! Imagine if some of the motor’s leading pioneers got to see where motors have gone today.
so cool
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!
Which has a longer longevity electric or traditional motors? What everyday technology do we use that also uses magnets?
what’s electrolysis?
I want to make my own scooter with an electric motor
this was such an interesting lesson!
motors are awesome
Wow!
Wow
nice!
🥰🫰 Bro this is so Cool i Love it❤️
This is great information.
This video was very helpful on helping me understand motors.
Thank you for the tips for getting better grades. It helped me a lot more than you think. I vote for the spider like robot to win.
This will go amazing with my science studies.
I love this
I did not realize until this episode that magnets could be turned on and off.
it’s crazy to think about all of the difrent was that we can make magnets.
Very informative! 👍
I like this one!
I’ve always wondered how motors worked they are in so many things.
yes kit
The spider-like thing was so cool!
I cant wait to learn more about motors!
Very interesting
this is so cool
What are some other things Michael Faraday has done?
very interesting how the magnet electric machine works! I wonder if that’s how some other machines are built.
I vote big, because that cranberry pi-bot becauuse even though it has more akward bot moments but it is also a better dancer.
cool
That’s awesome!!! Yes kit
Loved watching this episode and it was really interesting learning about dc motors.
WOW
yes kit
As a dancer myself, seeing bots dance was awesome lol
this video was very interesting and I learned a lot of thing about motors
love it. This video explains electric motors perfectly!
this is so cool
