Very neat!
I always found hydrogen cars very neat. If I had to choose I would probably have a hydrogen car over an electric.
Cars that run on hydrogen will probably be very common in the future
Super interesting! I never knew hydrogen can run a car
How long does it take to make a hydrogen car?
Who knew that cooking was a science. I never thought of it that way. My brother likes to build Lego push cars. Our bodies are electric? I can see this is your passion of Hydrogen.
I’m sure in the future we will see many hydrogen cars!
It is very interesting to learn about how the hydrogen car works.
I only thought cars ran on diesel and gas. Maybe batteries?
I didnt know cars could run off of hydrogen and not gas
Cars are complicated to understand. are there going to be an electron station or hydrogen station eventually. You should team up with Elon Musk. battery powered motor that spuel steam water. Who would be able to afford these types of car?
Amazing concept!
Would be amazing to see hydrogen cars driving down the road
vroom vroom lol
I didn’t know cars could run on hydrogen.
I didn’t know cars could run on hydrogen.

I learned something new about hydrogen and cars.
I didn’t know hydrogen can do that to a car.
hydrogen car?? I’d never heard of that til now!!
I didn’t know that we can power a car by using hydrogen. It is so cool! I liked it because it doesn’t harm nature like gasoline. So it’s eco friendly and safe.
Dr. Billings is full of passion on hydrogen car. It is very interesting to hear and learn about it. When would a hydrogen car be on sale, I would really consider to get one.
Can I drive a hydrogen car when I grow up?
This was amazing but can a car run on nitrogen? or any other elements?
I think that hydrogen cars sound so efficient and sound like they would do very well when the bad things are worked out and run well then everybody will be driving them.
It would be amazing if we could find a way to harness static electricity to power everything.
hydrogen cars are so cool
I made a hydrogen generator myself.
So inspirational
I wish I had one
This is really interesting! I love how Dr John and Dr Tobias explain it so clearly!

This was a cool lesson. I didn’t know how much longer battery life was. I wonder if gas will be a thing of the past.
Will this be used for planes too? Maybe it’ll help costs be lower. Cool lesson.
I love how you tell us how we have electricity in my body I really did not know that.?!
Interesting topic!
such an interesting video loved it!!
It is so amazing to me how Dr. Roger Billings had this wonderful idea and started making it into a reality at such a young age and is now helping people all over with his ideas.
It’s crazy how long the hydrogen system can last!
This is an awesome live!!
nice
Do you think Dr.b could do the same thing with a train or a plane??🤔😁🚃✈️ Thanks for the cool lesson!♥️
I liked learning about electricity. It was interesting to find out that humans nervous system and brain use electricity.
wowww!
i want ONE!!!!!!
what are the different advantages behind hydrogen cars comared to eletric cars like tesla?
also
what happens if there is too much hydrogen powering the car, would it blow up?
I liked Malachi he is so funny and the Ventioneering club it is fun
It’s interesting how hydrogen cars work. I wonder how much they get paid to work on them.
So cool!
woah!
That was so cool!!!! I learned a lot and really enjoyed this video!!
Very clear!
Very Cool
every video i learn something new!
Hydrogen is a gas that Mr. Billings used to make the first hydrogen car. But I always remembered Hydrogen is not H2O (water). Gases like fossil fuel are not good for the environment. Also I have a question:
Can hydrogen power trains and airplanes?
This video was beneficial to my mind. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Hopeful Hydrogen cars are the future!
Wow!! So cool!
Wow!
