Never knew how versatile hydrogen was, this was cool!
Your jokes are hilarious 😂
How much hydrogen can do so amazing.
Wow loved this
It’s so cool learning how the fuses work!
There are so many interesting things to learn about hydrogen, I would like to thank Dr. Billings on his work to found out as much as he can about hydrogen, it truly has been so impactful within our society.
I love how Roger Billings talked about his wife, this makes think about the people that you are surrounded by have a hude impacton what you do in life.
I liked learning about how fuses work
That’s so neat how hydrogen just naturally forms in the earth!
Today I learned that Roger Billings was the first to make a car that runs off of Hydrogen. I also learned the sun, too, runs off of Hydrogen. I never knew there were so many different ways to make and use Hydrogen on planet earth. It makes me greatful that we have such a Natrual and amazing element!
Hydrogen is a fascinating subject to study.
I love how Rodger Billings mentioned his beautiful solemate! I truly believe the people around us can help us in so many ways!
I love the many uses hydrogen has. I didnt know it could be used as an alternative fuel source for various things! I hope that in the future we will see more cars being run on hydrogen in order to reduce pollution
Thank you for explaining how fuses work.
I love learning with acellus
love R51
It’s very interesting to me how impactful hydrogen is on our environment!!
Loved learning about the natural hydrogen. Its interesting how little we here about hydrogen
I like the hydrogen-powered home.
A.i is just crazy these days.sooo real
love this!!!
It’s cool that hydrogen is in the ground
Love how silly R51 is!
I’m very excited to see more hydrogen in the future!
The hydrogen home is amazing!
It’s kind of interesting to me how little we see hydrogen talked about in mainstream discussions given how useful it clearly is. I wonder if that’s gonna change anytime soon. Good lecture!
Hydrogen is in the ground!? That’s neat! I didn’t know that.
Hydrogen does so many things! I did not know it was in the ground.
Hydrogen seems to have many possible uses, hopefully we can find safe ways to use, store and transport.
Scientists must continue their clean energy studies to discover more resources that can support our environment in having a potential low-carbon futurity.
It would be awesome to see more thangs run off of hydrogen. I think its so interesting how hydrogen works in so many ways.
I need to start watching these more. Hydrogen was so fun to learn about. When Tobias said “I said to my wife that I been tired for 5 years my daughter turned around and said, that’s how old I am” that was funny.
I didn’t know hydrogen could do so much.
Our earth would definetely be much better and cleaner if we had more things running off hydrogen.
Hydrogen is such interesting element!!!
It would be cool to see more things run off hydrogen.
wow hydrogen is amazing!!
i learned that burnt hydrogen is water
the ap government class sounds quite interesting-
Learning everyday is something I never thought would be fun until I started learning on acellus
Imagine hydrogen cars that would be cool!
Cant wait to see the next chapter of the Natural Hydrogen realm.
Hydrogen is cool
Hydrogen is the best element of all time.
Natural hydrogen offers a potentially clean and cost-effective energy source for industries and applications that are difficult to decarbonize.
I love learning about clean energy!
My Dad has a bottle that adds extra hydrogen to his water
I want to know if there is hydrogen on Mars.
low carbon future sounds awesome
I like how Acellus has another AP class they really help.
How long do you think it will be or if ever that the world will run on hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an amazing element
what was the first thing you tried to do or problem you tried to solve when you made the first hydrogen car
Won’t harvesting hydrogen from Earth’s crust still damage earth?
Natural hydrogen seems like an amazing source of clean energy!
Really cool, would love to learn more about how hydrogen cars could become more safe to use in the future!
these episodes never fail to motivate me
Roger Billings is my favorite inventor!
Hydrogen’s pretty cool! Can’t wait to see it’s impact in the future!
Hydrogen has so much potential for different uses? If hydrogen cars were to become an everyday occurrence, where would it be stored for fuel? In homes or gas stations? And how long could it stay idol in a pump?
Hydrogen is really cool.
I think this could be a revolutionary renewable energy source, very fascinating.
Wow, hydrogen flame has no color!
Hydrogen and where it comes from is very interesting. Thanks!
How is natural hydrogen different from grey, green and blue hydrogen.
I think it’s so interesting how hydrogen works in so many different ways
I love that you made the first Hydrogen car and bus.
I’m sure in the next 10 years much more cars will be sufficient off of hydrogen
I really enjoyed watching and learning! I really wanna see hydrogen cars!
Thank you for your presentation. Natural hydrogen is pretty cool! I researched it a little more, and I am amazed at the possibilities it has.
Cool how it takes other inventions to invent something.
how long before the world runs on Hydrogen.
Watching this one was so fun!!! Thanks 🙂
I LOVED THIS LIVE SO MUCH!
I think in the future hydrogen use as a fuel ⛽️ will help heal the atmosphere.
love learning with acellus.
I ENJOYED LEARNING ABOUT HYDROGEN
How long is it predicted before the world starts running onhydrogen?
I never thought about the other inventions that helped make new inventions.
Space is so cool!!
Hydrogen peroxide can be used for many thing like cleaning wounds.
I’m loving these Science lives!
Is there a limit on hydrogen in the world? Can it be measured?
I really liked the hydrogen cars explanation! Loved this Science live!
Hydrogen is pretty cool 👍
Acellus the best
My favorite is water hydrogen
Hydrogen is an amazing source of energy
I feel bad for R-51.
I love the concept of hydrogen cars!
I liked how this episode showed how hydrogen could be clean and sustainable.
What are the main applications and benefits of hydrogen as an energy source, and how is it produced and stored sustainably?
Hydrogen and its potential is very exciting.
Love learning with acellus.
It’s amazing what the James Webb Telescope can find!
maybe there is Natural Hydrogen on other planets!!!!
Hydrogen seems to do a lot of good things.
My dad works with fuses
Have they found any other planets that may support water.
I think the wrist thing is really cool! I think its a great project. Like imagen using it and writing on your tablet or phone and computer its just wow!.
This Science Live was amazing—I really enjoyed learning about hydrogen!
How is natural hydrogen different from green, blue, or grey hydrogen?
I always thought the sun was the only source of clean energy along with wind pannels, but in no world would I learn the earth itself can channel clean energy.
Natural hydrogen is a gas formed naturally underground through geological process primarily the reaction of water with iron rich rocks like olivine
I think it is so cool that hydrogen is everywhere underground.
Another amazing science live!
I hope this really does happen soon. Very exciting energy source.
That joke was my favorite so far. Constellation prize!
Wow! Science is amazing! I love science live! It’s so cool!!
While clean energy running the world would be a dream come true, it is still a dream. keep it up, guys.
Its cool when you burn hydrogen it turns to water
Hi from Northern Illinois! I love Science Live! This is the second time I’ve watched this episode!
I love Science live!
Love this!
I enjoyed the explanation of a fuse and the purpose to eliminate the potential of fires when an overcurrent of electricity occurs. I have seen the fuses in a car fuse box, they also simplify the repair.
Accelus is so fun!
Wow! This episode was absolutely enlightening! It is sad that natural hydrogen is not spoken about as a large contender for energy, when it has so much potential! I can’t wait to see the evolution of how we view it in the conversation for how we view energy. Do you think natural hydrogen has the possibility of becoming the default power source one day?
I think it is really impressive how technology has changed overtime.
I would like to drive a hydrogen car and I want other people to drive them as well. If we all did this then our world would be much cleaner. Just the way God intended. I am glad that you invented the first hydrogen car to help us keep the environment clean from co2 emissions.
Mind blowing episode!
(car blowing as well)
It would be great if we could power more homes of Hydrogen, zero polluting.
I really enjoyed this episode of Science Live!
It was fascinating to learn more about hydrogen as a clean source of energy and its potential to power the future. Knowing that Roger Billings invented the first hydrogen car makes the discussion even more inspiring and interesting.
I can’t wait to see how they go about making hydrogen cleaner hopefully across the globe Very interesting video this week had me and my dad listen together!
How much hydrogen would it take to run a car?
Could hydrogen replace gas one day for fuel in cars?
What are the potential benefits and challenges of using natural hydrogen as a source of clean energy?
AP United States Government and Politics looks fun
I knew h2o was water but didn’t know what the letters meant
The science of getting clean energy from earth itself is amazing.
Love these videos!!
This episode was great! Hopefully one day we can all live in a clean environment.
I love acellus
Oh my gosh yay! R-51 was hilarious in this episode! <3
I love how Science Live makes science so fun!! I love learning new stuff every week.
I love these I watch every one of them,
What does STEM stand for?
I love the new episodes each week
This was my first video and first year using Acellus and I am really enjoying it! Learning about Hydrogen was very interesting. I can not wait for the new video.
i wonder what the water tastes like from the exhaust of a hydrogen car.
Love watching these!
Dr Roger Billings i can’t belive that you made the first hydrogen car when you were a high school student!🤯
Without natural hydrogen we would die, thank God for hydrogen!
R51 makes me laugh!
Love your videos🥰😍🥰
The discovery and potential of natural hydrogen really show how much more we have to learn about our amazing planet and its resources. I can’t wait for the next episode!
I love learning about science so much
Acellus is the best school out here
Thank you Dr B for always teaching us new things! I love learning new facts every week, I also love R-51!
Love these videos
Another amazing episode! Roger Billings and Pajet Monet are amazing!
I love how Science Live makes science so fun!! I love learning new stuff every week.
Acellus is the best online school i love it.
How can we help get the government to fund hydrogen studies?
*car explodes*
meanwhile R51: “I TOLD YOU IT WOULD WORK!”
Mind blowing episode, who knew hydrogen could be naturally occurring. Can’t wait to see how this changes the future of clean energy.
I love the science lives they’re so informational and inspirational! Thank you so much Roger Billings
I really enjoyed learning about hydrogen and how it can be used as a source of energy. I didn’t know that burning hydrogen is a much cleaner energy source than what we use today! Which is incredibly awesome for the environment. My question is could hydrogen eventually replace gas as a cleaner energy source in the future? And how will that look like?
That’s so strange that a good majority of the wood turns to ash! I agree with Ms.Pajet that the smell of a campfire is really nice!
I can’t believe that roger billings has actually drank from the exhaust of his hydrogen car.
So my dad works for a natural gas company and my question is is hydrogen cleaner and safer for your home than natural gas? Would it be more expensive than natural gas! My dad thought it was a very cool way you came about this he was very interested in listening with me.
I already knew that hydrogen was the building block of life but I wouldn’t have guessed that hydrogen could be an efficient source of fuel/energy. A hydrogen powered house seems really innovative and I would like to see how energy from hydrogen can or will be used in the future.
The episode on Natural Hydrogen was really interesting. I didn’t realize that hydrogen gas can occur naturally underground and might be a clean energy source. It’s surprising how little attention it gets compared to solar or wind. If scientists can figure out how to extract and use it efficiently, it could play a big role in reducing carbon emissions. I also thought it was cool how natural hydrogen seeps have been discovered in places like Mali and Russia. Definitely made me think differently about the future of energy.
Tell R-51 I said HES A GENIUS!
The wristband was pretty cool. How did they think to make something like that? I never knew that there is so much to hydrogen. Cool! Loved R-51!!!
Love you Lady Pajet, you’re such a good influence and beautiful as always!!!
DR. Roger billings I love science Live so much. I like watching r. 51 I love Roger billings.
I would love for Roger Billings to invent a hydrogen phone! btw, I LOOOOVE Pajet Monet!!!!!!
will people be able to use hydrogen as a replacement of solar panels one day
R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R15 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51 R51
I loved this episode of R-51 he was so funny! Thank you Roger Billings for making science live so memorable!
It would be really cool to see electrical signals being able to pick up small signals, and with them training their AI model with 6000 different people they were able to move the device and operate like using a cursor with minimal gestures, and even to write and have it translate it to text digitally!
And learning about hydrogen being a stable element with one electron, and their sharing with two electrons, the burn result of hydrogen is water.
I wanna thank Roger Billings, Pajet Monet and Acellus Team for Science Live, making learning fun and awesome for students!
Roger billings is the smartest person I have ever known.
Natural hydrogen is a type of clean energy that comes straight from the Earth, not made in factories. Scientists have found that it can form underground, like in rocks or near volcanoes, and it can be collected to use as fuel. What’s really cool is that when you burn hydrogen, it only makes water, not pollution, so it could help fight climate change.
R51 is so funny and I wonder how much longer until everyone has a hydrogen cars and houses
Could natural hydrogen be the power of the future
Are the Study Buddies still going to be released on the Acellus Gold Store?
Ps. I love hearing your stories Dr. Roger Billings!
I feel like I could watch/listen to Mr. Roger Billings talk about hydrogen for hours, sadly we only have an hour of this per week. The hydrogen man himself, the creator of the element itself, has blessed us this week.
Hi, my name is Makayla, I have been in Acellus for 7 years, and it as helped me a lot, I would recommend this home school to everyone! So I say thank you for helping us to learn. And I say thank you for Science life, it improves our skill. Thank you Dr. Roger Billings and Lady Pajet.
It is so cool they found natural hydrogen in the ground
