    I loved this episode! My favorite part was the technology spotlight by Dr John. They gather static lightning by flying a drone 1000 feet into the air and then capturing the electricity using a wire.

    If you want to invent something you should invent something that will benefit you and something you passion.

    I think it was really great to say that, “you don’t judge the success of an invention by how much it makes.” What an important and inspiring thing to remember. Money shouldn’t guide or success as it will only hinder us.
