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.
Great accomplishment inspired
I learned about the piezoelectric effect today and I thought it was so interesting! I didn’t know having an electrical field interact to a form of mechanical stress had this outcome!
That is so cool he created FSD
Please Dr. Monet, don’t forsake us! All of us are precious, each and every one of us!
The point is I love your lessons
When you developed FSD did you realize how big of an impact it would have on future generations or technology?
Best invention, love the info.
Very impressive. I appreciate all you have done so that we can have computers today and the ability to attend this great online school.
Dr. Pajet Monet, I think you should absolutely continue teaching your social emotional learning classes! I took two of your classes throughout my academic journey, and now that I’m nearing graduation I’m realizing how helpful your lessons were. Thank you!
Very interesting. You are such a smart guy!
I want to learn how to build a robot.
Mr.billings is smart.
One is never to old to learn something new
I love how the inventions Dr Billings creates all go to something positive!
To: Pajet Monet.
Hi this is my first comment, I personally think you should keep on making “Social And Emotional” videos. They are really helping me with my attitude. I know I’m not the only one its helping, so if you keep teaching you will be able to help so many others. I hope you keep on doing them. Thank you.🙂
To: Dr Billings.
Hi, Dr B, you are a really smart guy, and not to mention funny, too.😄 I really think you and Pajet should keep on doing SCIENCE L!VE together. Thank you for doing SCIENCE L!VE for every one doing Acellus.
P.S You should try talking Pajet Monet into doing more “Social And Emotional.”
Your best invention is so amazing
its wild with all the stuff you have done
Wow! the computer thing is very cool.
Very cool, I did not know about FSD or that Dr. B made it.
Mr Billings is so cool!
This was so informative! I love watching these videos!
i find it funny that they tried to call your idea crazy then they tried to copy it
Wow you’ve spent so much money on scholarships i appreciate it so much!
Also you’re car is so COOL!!!
It’s crazy to think you can get voltage from a crystal!
That was extremely impressive.
Wow! I didn’t know that Dr. Billings created FSD.
Dr. Billings is just the greatest and smartest
Mr. Billings is really cool 🙂
He made the internet way easier with FSD!
Wow, he is really smart. I had no idea he invented this!
What an amazing accompishment
Very cool you patented FSD (Functionally Structured Distribution) and donated the patented to the university which developed Acellus.
i love Dr. R and r51
I learnt something new today, and the “piezoelectric effect” got me interested too!
I’m the first kid comment
I am always amazed by Dr. Billings and his wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for the amazing video, I really enjoyed it…
Dr Pajet Monte should absolutely continue with her lessons, it really helped me on a personal level during lockdown.
Thank you Dr Billings for you care and effort into this program and for the care you have over us students.
And of course thank you R-51 for also entertaining us…
It’s cool how Roger Billings invention changed the internet and helped people stay connected.
Hi! Wow, another amazing video! It was very nice to learn about all that computer stuff. Who knew Dr. Billings was involved in all that cool stuff? Mind blowing really. Anyway, I have just finished watching the Science Live that came out yesterday, and was impressed by all that happens back stage.
There is absolutely no doubt that Dr. Billings cares for each and everyone of us students, passed and present. And there is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t repay him by:
1) Attending Science Live regularly, and striving to do/watch even more of it.
2) Pushing hard in our school work, and pushing our classmates to do theirs!
3) To keep pushing positive info to him and his amazing staff.
I would also like to say, to two of my classmates (Nakova C and Luis Daniel P.) that you two push me hard to even TRY to keep up with you. You guys (and other classmates too) keep me pushing forward in the hopes of somehow, beating you in a competition. I hope that I inspire you guys as ya’ll inspire me.
Thank you!!
I really enjoyed this lesson specially the story of how roger billings explains the innovation fsd and how it has had a major impact in the worlds technological advancements and also on how we stay connected.
Please stay and do more social emotional.
I am so amazed at all of that Dr. B has done!!!
WOW, what a amazing Science LIVE video.
I enjoyed it a lot!
Dr. Billings, what drives you to continue creating and improving on current inventions?
Oh man I should have done my science project with a 3D printer
It was extremely interesting to learn about his development of the internet,
I enjoyed learning about Dr. Rodger Billings’s computer program that changed the world!
Hey Pajeet, I really liked the social emotional learning course and would appreciate if you kept doing the intro for the future videos.
Did Roger billings have any other inventions?
Computers have revolutionized the world as we know it.
Do you think 3D printing can one day be used for medical applications?
Rodger Billings is widely recognized for his work on the hydrogen fuel cell. His contributions to hydrogen energy with technology have been significant, and he’s often credited either pioneering advancements in this field. They hydrogen fuel cell is considered one of the greatest inventions, as it has potential to provide a clean and sustainable energy source.
This was a really cool video to watch.
