Nice episode!
I loved this episode! My favorite part was the Technology Spotlight. They recently created a robot using 3D printing and air to make it move without the use of electronics. I believe this can help with potential underwater missions ot retrieve objects once it is updated for controlled movement. I’m eager for the next update!
I loved this video, it was so cool! Dr. B is so talented!!
An excellent episode if I do say so myself! Dr. B you’re such an amazing inventor. Hope you win a Noble Prize! Also, can you do an episode on String Theory?
I really liked this episode!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Electronic chip ice cream is so yum lol. Roger billings has so many inventions!
Wow, that’s so cool!
Social media is truly huge
The internet has reached to great distances in the world of technology, sharing ideas from it and creating many amazing things, it’s amazing how groundbreaking it is.
Great invention
woah that’s so cool, i have a question DrB what’s your second greatest invention.
Love it
Dr. Billings is always so interesting.
I enjoy when Roger Billings talks about what he’s most passionate about.
Great invention I love it
Loved it!
my favourite parts of these videos are the tech parts
Fun video!
My favorite part is when Roger billings talks.
I thought his first invention was the hydrogen car. It makes way more sense that it was that computer thing.
Greatest invention of Dr. Billings, so cool!
FSD is cool.
😎 cool
Cool!
I really enjoyed the music project!
thank you for this very valuable information!!
Super cool!
FSD’s creation is very interesting and fun!!!
cool video!
FSD is awesome!!!
This was released one day after my birthday
what if we sent the robot that can go underwater to the deepest part of the ocean with a go pro attached to discover the parts of the ocean that have yet to be explored?!
nice
very interesting and fun video to learn about thank you!
FSD’s creation is very interesting!
This is super interesting. Thanks.
How does pressuring the crystal produce voltage?
that is a very interesting invention
I don’t agree .the hydrogen powered car is definetly his best invention
All of the things that you are doing for students are amazing!
Thank you for the videos!
Can’t believe how many things he’s created
Can the robot also go into really hot water?
what would you describe fsd in one word?
This is super awesome.
Amazing stuff
Im so grateful that this is what I have to do for my scholarship!
It was a great watch and I learned a lot from it!
Super cool. I watched this twice.
How different would the world be without FSD?
That’s cool how the 3d printed robot could go underwater maybe you could attach a go-pro and see what’s going on under the water.
Awesome! 🤩
cant believe this was invented. awesome
Super cool!
Many people dont understand how something can impact humanity.
I think this was my favorite episode by far.
Cool beans
Considering the profound impact of FSD on technology and the internet, what unforeseen consequences or challenges did its development and widespread adoption bring, and how were they addressed?
R51 was so silly! Super awesome episode
This video is by far the best so far in my opinion!
Wow!
obviously this wasn’t your only invention you seem to have had a pretty big impact on our world today and that is really awesome to know , a lot of our family dose not agree with us homeschooling and so when I tell them about the accredited program that is Acellus it’s also really awesome being able to tell them that this is a weekly source that has grown my daughters interest in science , we watch it together and I try to explain some of it in an easier way for her and she will go tell her cousins some of the cool facts that she learns from this . Your generous contribution to help families like mine make it possible to use an accredited program so our daughter can have a more supportive and positive experience in learning.
Such a cool invention!
It was super cool how you made that.
amazing.
Cool!
Amazing inventions!
I want some Electronic chip ice cream so I’m going to send you this 10101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010 01010101010110101010010101010110110101.
The 3D-printed robot was super cool. Dr. B is a true innovator in the world. FSD (Function Structure Distribution) in my opinion means Dr. B plays a huge role in the way we use technology. Today we text, use the internet, and we take it for granted. This video truly inspired me to keep going even when people doubt you. I’ve taken the scholarship for granted when I should’ve been working harder. I will be watching my science live every week from now on.
I’m incredibly grateful for this scholarship opportunity!
Cool!
Super cool
Great invention!
This truly is so amazing!
Love this video!
Great video!
Awesome invention
How do you 3D print the whit robot?
Do you think 3D printing can one day be used for medical applications?
Amazing invention!
Love how these educate me on things.
love it!
So cool that you made that! 🙂
Crazy stuff!
Dear Mr. Billings, my mom told me about how you were helping us pay for our classes, and that you just wanted us to join your weekly meetings to show we are serious about it. I didn’t really understand or think too much of it. But, after I heard you talk about it today, I felt really bad for not realizing just how much you sacrifice for me and my brother. Even my Mom started to cry when she heard you talking about it. She says she doesn’t know what we would do without your help. Thank you for helping us.
Wow! I just got a watch for my birthday, and I didn’t know the history behind watches using quartz to keep time. That’s so cool! Thanks for covering that topic.
that’s amazing!
This was a great invention!
It’s amazing how Dr. Billings has invented many things, but this has to be my favorite one so far!
Loved this week’s Science Live!!
Who knew that the 3d printer ink could manage something like that! thats amazing
My Greatest Invention: FSD – I look forward to this episode and what I will have the opportunity to learn from it. One of my favorite things are the weekly videos we are provided, I don’t usually get to catch them LIVE, but I love learning from these videos.
wow!!!
The segment on watches was very cool!
Awesome video. Thank you!
Cool video!
Dr. Billing’s invention was so cool!!
That was an exquisite Science Live.
So cool!
I think that moving the scholarship requirements up is very important. Just making this high quality program essentially free is insane. And science live is awesome anyway. It’s entertainment wearing the mask of education. Dr. Tobias’ segment is always captivating. An incredible show with a monetary reward? Keep up the good work Dr. B
Amazing!
super cool
thanks for the video!
I love the invention!
amazing stuff
Amazing!
Can robots be made to operate using other gases, other than air?
It truly is amazing how much Dr. Billings has accomplished!
watching this made me want to study harder than i have been, I’ve been letting it fall to the wayside and that’s not respectful to the work that y’all put into this program.
SO COOL!
always so interesting!
I can’t believe computers were that big! It’s cool!
that’s amazing how he invented something!
wow so cool
This was so cool! i also have a question. Could you guys consider doing more science lives? Like two a week instead on one? If not its okay because it was just a thought! :3 <3
Interesting as always!
I enjoyed learning about the FSD!
that is in my phone!
That invention is so interesting! It’s really useful and cool to create these new technologies.

I never knew you could measure a voltage off of a crystal, that is something new to me
Cool episode!
Its amazing how many interesting things Dr B can talk about and explain to us.
I’am thankful you invented the FSD.
The watch story was cool. My Mom has a 1928 Bunn special that was my Grandpa’s. It still works.
I like this very interesting.
Dr B thank you for inspiring us!
When is the science fair
so cool love My Greatest Invention: FSD.
I kinda thought your greatest invention would have been the hydrogen car?
I hope that people start taking their scholarship more seriously, so Dr. B doesn’t have to sell anything
Dr.B your work is truly inspiring!
It is so cool to see things that others have invented
How do you come up with all these different ideas for the episodes?
Great video production as always great job

I Find science live very cool and amazing. I want to be an inventor too!.
I thought it was cool that you could get a voltage off doing something to a crystal.
Wow, we love learning about the things you have invented Dr. B! We are so happy to be learning from you.
I really enjoy watching science live!!! 🙂
Who created the first robot?
Nice 🫡 tie.
thanks Dr. Billings for these videos
wow that robot is cool
I hope you dont have to sell the car and plane! We love to watch the show together and Im almost done with my 7th grade but my friends in school have 3 more months! So Im taking Algebra now….
It’s truly inspiring hearing roger billings talk about his journey and the challenges he met while making FSD, it’s very impressive.
My mom was in the hospital so tonight we watched this together I love watching science live with my mom even my mom loves this every week we get to spend time together learning.
Wow FSD is very interesting!
Wow. This was amazing and very insightful. Thank you for sharing your great achivements and amazing information.
I think the info they give in every video is wonderful, and very helpful to understand everything .
Always fun to watch these
awesome!
That was so interesting! Do you know how to fly a jet?
I’m amazed by all the incredible innovations discussed in this episode, especially FSD and its impact on education. Thank you, Dr. B, for your contributions and for providing such valuable learning experiences!
this was very informational thanks for todays live Dr. Billing
Wow Dr. B. You’re so modest about everything you have invented and created in your life! Thank you for all you’ve done
Thanks for the internet! Without it, we wouldn’t be able to have online learning as an option.
I love Computers and Love coding.
The 3D print that could move by only using air was really intresting!
Great computers Dr Roger Bilings
I think 3D printing is awesome!
I remember FSD being mentioned in the first science live I ever watched – it piqued my interest. I’m glad that I was able to get a more in-depth explanation on it! This was a great episode – loved how everything was explained so thouroughly yet simply.
hi roger billings
We love science live!
FSD has changed the world.
That a very cool invention!
That is pretty cool running something with just air. I didn’t know that was possible. My grandmother says she would love for someone to create a machine that instantly makes food – like on Star Trek. She doesn’t like to cook.
I had no idea about how they used tuning forks and quartz crystals to make watches work.
This was awesome!
Hi everyone, that does acellus.
Dr. Billings, how do you come up with all your great ideas? Your inventions are so inspiring.
Why do not many people know what FSD is or how it works? Watching from Illinois!
I want to be an inventor too!
Wow this is so cool
Wow, FSD is a huge accomplishment.
Very interesting topic! Thank you for the lesson Mr Billings.
This is so fun!
The way challenges with FSD arrived and were handled shows how smart DrB is!
I get angry very easily and social emotional helps me a lot so please keep going on with it.
I love Science live I am very thankful for Acellus to help me.
Acellus has had a big effect on myself and my brother thank you so much.
🥹
Thank You for creating such a wonderful learning environment and experience for my son to be able to learn in. You’re Science Lives are so informative to both parents and children. Also, our favorite ice cream is Vanilla!
Please Dr. Monet, don’t forsake us! All of us are precious, each and every one of us!
I had never heard of FSD before, but it changed the world very interesting to learn about.
And happy first comment Titus Fields that was really sweet of you to say.
I agree with Brian Y.
What is a CPU?
I thought it was so cool to find out about IBM and early computers.
Roger billings is hilarious.
The 3D printing in robotics is very fascinating!
💕💕💕💕💕
Wonderful!!
WOW! I didn’t know about FSD before. It was very interesting to learn about.
My daughter and I watch science Live together and although we have only been able to catch one of your actual Live broadcasts (due to Wednesday night church service) we always try to make it up together. We are so grateful to you for the scholarship program and making sure that a parent of 5 can afford such rich content and high level of education for those who couldn’t afford it other wise. Your greatest invention may have been the Data Center but your greatest accomplishment is truly Acellus!
I loved learning about how they made the watches! This was a really cool episode to watch and learn from.
How did the Japanese company sayco come up with the idea to use crystal and where did they get the crystal from?
I don’t think you should give up your car or jet. The investment in their future should be their own. I, for one, am eternally grateful that Acellus has the Scholarship Program, and that my son has the most AMAZING SCHOOL ON EARTH. THANK YOU for all you do. And we LOVE PAJET so please keep teaching! Lots of love from us.
I am amazed at what you can do with 3d printing. I am also grateful for the invention of FSD.
That is so cool that you invented the internet! WOW
I like that he talked about his car at the end.
What is FSD used for?
Mr Billings is so cool.
What is a tuning fork?
awesome
This video was pretty cool, learning about the FSD was very interesting. I had not heard of it before.
Mr. Billings is so smart!
The FSD helped changed the world. Great invention!
loved hearing this lesson, I enjoyed hearing the part about getting voltage from a crystal.
Thanks for all the information, I learn a lot every time I watch these.
You are SO amazing I am six years old and love learning so much.
It is very important for new innovations to continue to make our technology the best in the world.
Dr. Billings you’ve been a great inspiration to my education and I promise I will put more effort into my studies.
Universal networking and the FSD method of sharing information is fascinating!
It was very interesting to learn about how you made and patented your invention.
I would like to invent something.
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.
