I never truly knew where hydrogen came from but now I do and it’s so cool.
I love being able to learn about hydrogen and where is comes from.
Hydrogen is so interesting!
i love Acellus
Acellus science lives are great!
Area 51 is my favorite I love how he thought he was running the machine with CO2 lol im dead!!!!!!!!
I love Acellus! It’s been a game changer for me.
I used to struggle a lot with math and was in a pretty similar situation to Maya, very nice to hear a story like hers.
I have disability and i love math
hydrogen is very cool.
Deep hole hydrogen is hydrogen found deep underground
Project Deep Hole, can’t wait to follow along. I hope you find it, and its tru to never know until you try and find it.
Hydrogen is super! I love hearing about it and its really cool.
I have a disability too. I have something called autism, so I learn differently. It is nice to see and hear people doing fun things, no matter what. I feel very good about that.
Hydrogen and carburetors are pretty interesting!
Hydrogen is so interesting!
Deep hole hydrogen is such an incredible concept. With everything hydrogen does for our world, it’s hard to imagine what we would do without it.
What is the temperature of a high temperature super conducter?
Hydrogen is a great energy source why aren’t we using hydrogen more?
I want to learn more about hydrogen and all it’s different uses.
Hydrogen is cool.
Deep hole hydrogen is more cooler than I though it would be
Hydrogen is a lot more interesting than people think, and its great to learn more about it!
i never knew that story about the laser and the discovery of black holes! wow so interesting!
As someone who struggled with math, it made me feel empowered to know there were others like me, and that we can do well in any subject at different times in life. It really is true you need to be a great scientist if you are happy…even more so with mental health.
I would love to see more people with disability accomplish goals, it motivates me so much!!
Hydrogen has way more behind it then i thought! it was so cool to hear about Maya, her story will help so many people!
Loved this epsiode!
Haha, the R51 bit was pretty funny, I like it when these videos have some fun memorable moments like that.
Deep Hole Hydrogen is a wild concept! The potential to tap into a massive, sustainable energy source is mind-blowing. I’m curious about the challenges of accessing it and the environmental impact, but the possibilities are definitely exciting.

Hydrogen is way cooler than I ever knew!
Awesome! The search for cleaner energy is so important!
Hydrogen is one of nature’s miracles! Amazing!
All the ways in which hydrogen can be used still surprising me.
I watched my dad fix the carburetor on our weedeater this video is cool
I have a learning disability too, it is hard sometimes.
Maya’s story is very inspiring I enjoyed hearing about her accomplishments! I never knew that hydrogen had so many uses! It’s really cool to hear about how it can be used.
You may fire when ready from Tobias cracked me up
I also have a hard time with Math, it was encouraging to see someone else word hard to overcome challenges.
What was the space launch and test flight for? I know it was successful but why are they testing it? What do they need those results for?
the future of hydrogen is truly amazing
It was so amazing to hear about Maya’s overcoming her difficulties in math.
theres a lot more hydrogren then i expected!
this was a good lesson,i didnt know there was so many uses with hydrogen.
Hydrogen is very interesting and fun to learn about.
Do you think deep hole hydrogen would cause any shifting of plates or micro earthquakes? Or even sinkholes?
Wow, there’s so much more to hydrogen than I thought!
These videos are always so interesting and fun to watch.
Hydrogen has so many uses. Thank you for teaching us about it.
It’s really great lesson <3
The deep hole project is very interesting.
R51 is very funny! I enjoyed the class.
I like that you mentioned a student who has what other people would call a disability. I too have dyslexia.
I am super interested to see if you find hydrogen!
You make science fun! I’ve had a lot of teachers who made science very mellow.
How deep do you have to drill to reach hydrogen?
Loved this epsiode!
Why does hydrogen get trapped deep inside the earth?
I love learning about hydrogen!!
I have the same learning disabiitly as Maya and loved her story and how she was able to overcome all her stuggles
Your excitement about hydrogen is amazing.
When would the deephole project be complete??
If you ran the world on hydrogen, would it make the world more dangerous or less? tornadoes and hurricanes.
The Deep Hole Hydrogen Project seems SO cool! I am excited to hear more about it!
Hey from TN love the lives
Hydrogen seems really cool.
I liked learning more about hydrogen.
We love science Live
I liked learning about super conductors and hydrogen.
Why might naturally occurring hydrogen deep underground become an important clean energy source in the future?
I like learning about hydrogen, and R51 is funny!
How much hydrogen do you think you will get from the hole you’re digging?
How long will it take to dig, and will you be digging more in the future?
I love Dr Joseph’s jokes
hey guys dont ever give up in something you like keep moving forward to you goal never give up
Hydrogen is neat to learn about
This deep hole project is really neat, good luck with it!
Mya’s story is so motivational! Me and my younger sister struggle with similar things to her, so it’s nice to see that things aren’t as impossible as they feel 🙂
I really love the idea of project Deep Hole. I can’t wait to keep up with the progression. It’s very exciting.
Curious to see how hydrogen changes things in the future
I love learning about hydrogen
R 51 is too funny!
Great live🥰
I have a disability for math. Acellus has been very helpful with my learning because can go back and rewatch lessons and go more slowly that they do in school.
I love Acellus gold!
Dr B was so smart when he was kid.
R- 51 is the best!
I have two questions, first of all, how fast can the hydrogen car go? And also, how many miles can the car drive on one tank of hydrogen?
R-51 always has cool ideas
Learning about hydrogen is really interesting r 51 is funny
This was a great video to learn more about hydrogen! And R-51 is so funny.
Digging for hydrogen sounds cool!
We all should be a part of the decresing of pollution, Mya was really inspiring!!
love R5-1
Hydrogen is awesome!
R-51 is hilarious!
Digging for Hydrogen sounds so fun
I absolutely love Science Live! Each video is amazing and inspiring, whether you watch it live, or not. I have learned so much, and can’t wait to learn more!
I struggle with focusing to. Mya inspores me to keep trying.
Little R is always so funny
Hearing these stories about other students really inspires me!
Hydrogen is so interesting
I love this!
Hydrogen is SO awsome!
I loved learning more about hydrogen.
Hydrogen is such a cool element. It is so special because of its unique properties
Wow! That’s an amazing super conductor motor! Great idea of using hydrogen.
I love that Dr B plans on sharing videos and pictures of the progress. I am excited to be a part of the journey.
I didn’t know about superconductors at all! It was really interesting to learn about them.
Using hydrogen instead of gas is a great way to decrease pollution.
Science is so cool and has so many fascinating aspects to it when you think about it.
Mr. Tobias is always makes his breakdowns entertaining!
R-51 is funny I like him
I wonder why they chose the names Lemon and Swan for the comets.
I would love to attend the science fair. I would like for my first invention to be a star wars speeder bike. Maybe when I do, I can run it on hydrogen like you did the lawn mower motor. Thanks for teaching me how.
I’m loving this hydrogen episodes! I hope that when I’m older I can buy a hydrogen car!
I love Dr billings
It’s awesome how every week we are given new information about since. I’m excited to be learning every week and excited whats to come.
Area 51 might be the funniest thing on the planet
I wasn’t aware that there is multiple forms of hydrogen but it was interesting learning about some of them. R-51 was funny and entertaining as always.
I think that if we can find ways to detect where the hydrogen is inside the earth, then we can build energy plants to dig for it. Hydrogen energy can replace oil or gas after a few years.
I wonder if the future they power items by hydrogen?
If they do power items with hydrogen in the future we will have cleaner energy in the future.
I can’t wait for that element to be used in our world.
So cool that Dr. Roger Billings made a hydrogen engine.
My mom and I are enjoying watching every week.
The carborator that DR.B showed us was very cool
omg wow
I love hearing how scientists figured out and solved their problems, especially when they engineer and make tools to do it.
Hydrogen is so cool and amazing! 😀
These live make learning and science so much more interesting.
I love learning new things about the galaxy! Also the hydrogen motor is mind blowing! (hopefully its not gonna blow up R-51)
I saw the video of the Space X spacecraft landing back down.
What surprised you most about hydrogen forming deep underground in this episode?
hydrogen is an extremely fascinating topic. I would love to explore it more in the future
I want to be a mechanic so all of this is very interesting to me. I have been nervous about learning all of the components. I was very surprised that you had to learn what each part did and you came up with the use of hydrogen.
It is amazing to hear all of the possibilities with hydrogen!
Hydrogen is basically the Earth’s hidden superpower!
I’m curious to know how many things will be powdered by hydrogen in the future! I love how hydrogen works! 🙂
Acellus has been a great opportunity for me. It has given me confidence in school. Being able to designate time to certain areas.
I found this video very inspiring!
I loved seeing and hearing about how you made your cars engine. Thank you so much!
Is flying a helicopter harder than flying a fixed wing aircraft?
Hydrogen technology is so innovative!
Very interesting that super conductors are used with trains and can be ran without actually touching the tracks.
It’s amazing how scientists can locate these types of things.
I love how passionate and excited you are about hydrogen.
Hydrogen is awesome!
Roger’s billing is very inspiring
Hyrogen is interesting
I LOVE Roger Billings he is very educated and the way he talks about things draws me in and helps me be more interested in a topic i normally would not be.
Thank you for these lives, I like knowing science stories like these.
I love how they are doing segments on all the different kinds of hydrogen, it’s so interesting to learn about!
Amazing as always, can’t never get enough of science live <3
I thought the black hole was cool!
I can’t wait for hydrogen to lead to more scientific breakthroughs
Excited to see what can be powered by hydrogen in the future!
Hydrogen is awesome
Roger billing’s is an inspiration to me as someone who used to not enjoy science his attitude of enthusiasm and optimism is contagious and makes me want to do better in my science studies. Hopefully the discovery of this naturally occurring hydrogen will lead to more scientific breakthroughs and will aid in the advancement of technology and the powering of a better future .
Hydrogen is so interesting. I love learning about science.
Love science so much
I love the hydrogen science lives
I wonder how many items in the future will be powdered by hydrogen
I have been enjoying the hydrogen science live videos!
Little r will always be funny!
Certain geological areas have been naturally producing hydrogen deep underground for potentially millions of years, creating reservoirs so large they could make our current hydrogen production look tiny in comparison
The explanation of the hydrogen engine was very interesting!
Good lecture. I’m very interested in seeing where this project goes in the future, pretty exciting to think about.
Speaking about the superconductors, those just seem like magic, lol. Trains run via superconductors are terrifying to me, though, I don’t know how I’d feel about riding on a ~400mph bullet train that isn’t even grounded, haha. It is super cool though.
Very cool and amazing how the engine works on hydrogen also the backfiring of it.
Thank you for the in-depth knowledge
Watching for KS I WATCHED IT LIVE i think the stuff Dr.john with the techo spotlight was cool
Project Deep Hole sounds so cool!
Great episode! Enjoyed watching from TX.
I never knew hydrogen was so fascinating and had many uses for society.
I am looking forward to living in an environment that utilizes cleaner energy resources, such as deep hole hydrogen. Hopefully, scientists can continue aiming to locate and capture it safely without any hazardous challenges.
I really enjoyed this episode.
I love DR.B
If humans were able to extract the hydrogen from the earth naturally, then wouldn’t that mean there would be a new eco friendly energy source?
I loved learning about how the hydrogen engine started.
How much would it cost to make cars using hydrogen?
How fast can a hydrogen car go? How many miles can you drive on one tank of hydrogen? Who make a hygrogen powered car?
hii watching from nc!
I’m learning about conductors so hearing more about it is so interesting! Conductors are my favorite subject i’ve learned in science.
I am very excited for the two comets this October since I have never seen one before! I hope we get the oportunity to expierience Swan with the naked eye.
i can’t wait for project big hole!
Hydrogen is cool
Amazing video! 😀
I really enjoy listening to Dr. Tobias! Learning about the stars and laser beams was very interesting.
r-51 is silly you can’t do that!!
Hydrogen is super interesting. I learned a ton from this live.
This is amazing! I can’t wait for hydrogen fueled products to be on the market!
P.S. I will most likely be the first in line to buy a hydrogen car!
Hydrogen is just so fascinating!!! I’m so glad that I get to learn all about it from the the Hydrogen Expert himself !!! ( also first comment!)
I’m loving all of these hydrogen episodes!
What are the challenges of deep hole hydrogen exploration and extraction?
Tobias talked about twinkle twinkle little star like the nursery rhyme
he said that the stars actually twinkle but its just the light of the stars going through the turbulent and going through the molecules and the Adams which I thought was cool because I love stars, and he talked about how a woman named Claire max, she made a laser guid star and she used green laser first and it could go 9 miles into the sky but she changed everything to make it get 60 miles into the sky but had to make it yellow and in 1991 after 8 years it finally got published so people could read about it, but no one did.
Sodium Adams to get them exited which laser was yellow that color made It exited and make it glow and look like a star.
Watching from Christiana Tennessee, this was a really interesting episode, thank you so much 🙂
This is really cool
Its so cool that Dr. Billings was about to create an engine that runs off of hydrogen!
So much love for this live and the people who put effort into performing and putting it together
How expensive is it to make cars using hydrogen, compared to gasoline cars
Wow! That’s really cool! I also loved the R-51 clip, it must be a strange feeling to inhale H2
I am glad to see Dr. Billings using Hydrogen instead of materials that emit harmful carbon emissions!
Also, R-51 is HILARIOUS!
I loved this episode! I hope project deep hole turns out all right
If you can keep the superconductor spinning without added electricity, wouldn’t you just have perpetual motion?
I’m ready for project BIG HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know there we’re multiple types of hydrogen
