I wonder what all we could power with the energy from a lightening strike.
This is amazing, thank you
I really appreciate the live. Thank you so much, it was amazing!
I like the idea of a simple invention. I’m going to fashion a cat brush onto something so my cat can brush her cheek when she wants to and doesn’t have to rely on me.
I learned a lot of new things.
Learning how to create an invention is fun.
This is amazing!
Fine live
I like how Joy Mangano was determined to make her inventions become successful. She had a lot on her plate having children and she never gave up. It was cool how Dr. B lite up the mouth of the blue chicken manikin. It flamed up and went out.
Cool watching people make new inventions.
This was a very good video!
Thank Acellus for helping me learn everything I know right now

I want to invent something when I get older.
That’s cool
how often are inventions made on accident? are those more or less likley to be successful
Hey, AT I saw your comment and I found this University in Columbia. I highly suggestion this University because it is a very fun experience to go to Colombia. They have amazing food there, amazing people, and one of my favs they have very cute animals. I hope you like this suggestion good luck on finding a University!!
inventions are intriguing for me, i enjoyed this episode!
Alfred made a happy mistake. However, it is unfortunate how people will take an innocent idea and villainize it.
awesome!
Thank you for this lecture!
Acellus is so much fun 😁 😂😀!!!
I really like these videos there so interesting!
Your so cool 😎 DrB
Thank you for your inspiration. I will definitely be on the look out for common things I could maybe improve or make better. I am excited to see what I can come up with and invent!
love these vids
Hey everyone I would just like to say a few shout outs
#1 Dr.B- Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me for the past 6 years and making school way more fun with all of these funny science live videos
#2 Pajet Monet- Thank you for helping me keep going even when things got really hard. Thanks for responding to my messages when I needed someone to talk to and vent
#3 Class of 2026- I know a lot of us probably don’t know each other but I would just like to say congrats to yall for giving me a really good class and I’m glad this could be the class I could graduate it wouldn’t be great if you guys weren’t there. Question for everyone in the class of 2026. What are you going to college for, I am going for nursing (if anyone has a good suggestion on which college I should go to please comment)
thank you
I would just like to thank the whole Acellus crew and team because you guys have been such an amazing group of people to do school with and I would just like to say congrats to everyone that I am going to be graduating with ( the class of 2026) I would also like to say thanks to Dr.B because he made my life so much better when I started to do acellus. And my biggest shout out goes to Pajet Monet because I have been with her since 6th grade and if I ever needed someone to talk to she was always there and she responded it may have been a few weeks before she did but she still did. I know I don’t graduate for another year but I am already half way through for next year and I don’t think I am going to be able to say this to every one next year. Also another big shout out goes to all the nursing teachers they helped me and motivated me to stay with my hopes and dreams of becoming a nurse I start collage next year in august I believe (not sure where though so if anyone has any suggestions let me know ) . Good luck to my fellow class of 2026 with our next year and last year of school I’m gonna miss you all .
Science Live makes me so happy, especially after reading the comments. I find it fascinating how one small change can cause a major difference. And though sparks can come from anywhere, I am certain that Science Live, and the Acellus team in general, is a huge, impactful spark. So much so that I believe that they have grown from sparks into fireworks. And now, it is there turn to grow the sparks of students, and eventually, they (the students) will be fireworks too. And soon, this world will be adorned with even more beautiful colors because of those sparks and fireworks.
Thank you, Acellus.
cool School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this school so much 🙂
Great information
how is everyone
Are patents difficult to do?
Wow, persistence is such a driving factor in achieving your goals, as well as inventing!
I have always wanted to be a designer! And when I saw a hanger I thought they were making clothes 😅😂
This is so cool!!
Did you know that DrB is r-51
thanks for the vids!
Thank you for teaching me about this. It’s helpful.
who invented the first invention
Thinking of making something unstable to stable is the point of inventing something and it is just like life as you take up a problem and you stabilize it you don’t know what is going to happen you might slip and fall thinking its the end but it may be the solution.
I was hoping that they should add a coding/draw activity
Awesome video keep them coming!!!
I feel like the thought of inveting something nowdays is harder since so many things have been inveted already, but I do wish to able to create something someday.
I would love to invent something someday, sounds like a lot of fun but hard work!
what was the first invention?
When were the lightening rods created?
Thank you for this video, it allows me to see that it is possible to create something worthwhile. My invention will be an answer to a need.
I really enjoyed this weeks science live I learned a lot like how inventors interpret their ideas into reality and the process of invention and how to overcome challenges and also how to bring concepts into reality.
You inspire me so much to set goals and make achievements through those goal.
Great video!
Thank you for this episode.
I have always wanted to be an inventor and influencer. How do you know if you have a good idea?

So cool 😎.
I love to invent inventions.
Amazing episode. I recently started watching these, and I’ve already have learned a lot from them!

Sometimes the weather has a mind of its own. Will the drone always be able to pivot where the lighting hits?
I want to try to make a world changing invention now!
Who invented the first invention
very cool
Your procedures to invent inventions are amazing.
Who invented a car
Inventions are great because it is helpful so that others can learn from it. They can also think of new invention so others can benefit from it.
nice!
Science is the best fr.
I really enjoyed this science live.
I really enjoy these live streams
I am trying to invent a battery that doesn’t lose charge and keeps on ticking
I really enjoyed this episode of Science Live. It helped me to understand how important it is to set specific goals for myself. It makes sense that we need to set goals for ourselves in order to achieve them. Thank you, Dr. Billings!
Hi! I’m Victoria!! And I’ve been using acellus for about six years and I love everything about it. Dr. B saved lots of kids for education and knowledge. Thank you, Dr. B, your my hero…
I always learn so much from these videos and the humor in this one especially is amazing!
Who invented the first invention?
Where does Dr Joseph get all his jokes.

realy cool keep up the AMAZING!!! Work.
These creations are really cool.
I want to invent something.
Inventions are a direct result of problems that someone wanted to fix. I feel like it is harder to come up with new things nowadays because so many things have already been invented.
amazing livestream like always :3
That’s so cool!
Learning how to Creating an invention is cool because others can learn from it and use it .
I love this science video so much thank you Dr. Roger for making the videos
great video
THIs was a great Science live!
Wow I love this
It’s amazing what we can do and how much we can create the coolest and smartest things. Such creativity and intelligence.
WOW JUST WOW
I love it
Challenging!
thank you making learning fun
Amazing
Thanks for the information! I love watching these!
This episode was super interesting
Another amazing video! I really want to invent something but I can never find on what would actually help the world. But seeing people make these amazing things, and knowing they make a difference, makes me think that maybe I can do that.
See y’all next week!!
extremely cool,especially the timed part
How long have you been interested in science?
Love the video
It’s interesting that so many inventions were inspired by or created by accidents, like Alfred’s invention of dynamite
This was so cool!
This is very useful!
My old school was going to do an invention project but stopped it because of COVID.
How old do you have to be to get your invention started?
I am going to make an invention by may 1 2026 to see if I can make the earth cleaner. I already clean with groups and my family and I want healthy something to help the earth be heathy.
I think it’s so interesting to see the stages of change of hangers. We use the hug hangers in out house and we love them. I think it’s important to have different hangers for different clothes if they are heavy or light. I also like that someone can be an inventor by changing something we already have to make it different or better.
Science is so cool.
I thought the KFC bit was really funny.
Thats amazing!
