If we are successful in this cancer research, who knows how many lives we can save! I hope this treatment can help those in need.
We need clean energy!
Can’t wait for cleaner energy!
That cancer treatment sounds pretty neat, and hopefully hospitals can start using it more!
Such a cool invention.
This is cool becuase my dad works on turbines and solar.
Is there such a thing as a hydrogen powered air conditioner?
It’s amazing how LED lights can target only cancer cells.
Watched from Tennessee! I’m excited to learn about the Billings Turbine.
Science is so interesting learning new things that wouldn’t have crossed your mind.
This would be amazing! Cancer runs in my family and would love to see advanced treatments.
The cancer research at the University of Texas in Austin is very interesting and would be amazing if this treatment would work on all different types of cancer!
Watching from Tennessee! that’s crazy about it burning jet fuel!
Tobias is honestly my favorite to listen to. I had no idea the temperature like humidity could affect the way the paper printed.
Science live is so interesting! I’m not use to extra learning in a school due to where I live the public school here does not offer much. As I watch these videos I sit and wonder how does these people even come up with this?
Such great news about cancer research….really love these videos.
I love how these videos are entertaining and you learn from them
A very useful invention Mr. Billings, I’m amazed!!
i learn so much from these videos! thank you! R51 is so cool!

I love how Science Live teaches us about inventions from the past and future science.
I really liked learning about how the air-conditioner was invented.
The Billings Turbine looks great DrB!
If the Billings Turbine uses hydrogen, how is it kept safe from exploding or leaking?
The Billings Turbine is a really clever design! I’m impressed by how it efficiently converts energy. It’s a great example of how innovative engineering can make a big difference in energy production.
Watched from Belize
I hope we make the change to this clean energy!
watching from Colorado! Thanks for these videos!
I love Science.
Science is very fascinating!
It’s amazing how when someone has a problem, something as simple as fog can help solve that problem and change the way we live today.
It’s interesting diamonds are being used to draw out heat from computers.
Your explanations are vivid and precise, and your recommendations for clean energy are inspiring.
As someone who is dealing with a chronic illness, this has me thinking about solutions to mitigate the problems that sometimes result from my illness. A new way to think about things.
I love R-51
Watch from Saskatchewan Canada!
I enjoy hearing you simplify, inventions happen when you have a problem.
I learn so much from these science live videos!! Thank you!
I like this video my favorite part was Tobias. I thought it was cool to see how air-conditioned and temperatures came about. And I could not see living without one now lol.
Airplane autopilot is crazy. How do people invent these thinggs?
My daughter is in kindergarten and we watch the lives on the big tv all as a family. She sure asks lots of questions!
i love the dynamic between those two, so fun to watch.
I learn so much every week. Watching from Washington!
I love Area 51!
How big would the Billings Turbine be in a car and how much weight would it add?
Watching from Alabama!! I absolutely love these videos and they really inspire me to do things I may not have done before, keep up the great work!
watched and learned from Connecticut these science lives are so cool
watching from florida love these lives!!!
I love how DrB focuses on clean energy; it can change a lot in our world.
Every week I am in awe of everything I am still learning
Watched from Georgia!! Hope the cancer research works!

Watched from Mississippi.
Watched and learned from New York.
I love Science Live videos
Science live from Texas!!!
omg I love these so much they literally make my day also how is pajets hair always so perfect
I love how you look for efficiency in your inventions!
It’s amazing to hear about a new cancer treatment! Maybe one day in the future, with the continuation of cancer research, it may not be deadly anymore.
A diamond coated computer chip doesn’t even sound real! It’s crazy to see how precious stones and technology can collide, creating something that works even better than before.
I’ve heard of sapphire being used in lab and medical equipment. It almost sounds supernatural! A deep blue stone inside an intricate piece of technology. So cool!
I love these!
Science is my favorite!
Hello from Guyana
I am working on my T-Shirt design now and will upload it soon. I love designing things.
I love science live!!!
Science live is so interesting.
i find these videos so interesting!

The whole world should focus more on solutions for a cleaner and more efficient energy future. That is a massive turbine!
I love science live!!!
I’m here from washington.
R.51 is so funny 😂
Breakthrough Science is my favorite. (:
I want to build a turbine! I want to be a science teacher.
Will the price of diamonds go up since they are using them in chips.
Watching from North Carolina
That turbine is HUGE!
Thank you. I enjoyed learning about turbines.
It is great to see R51 having such a blast!
Science lives make my week! They are so entertaining and informative.
What is copper
Could you use the turbine in a car?
Turbines look small from the ground. My question is are they completely reusable once broke?
I loved the ending. I didn’t know gems could be so cool. I am learning science is fun.
These lives are always so educational!
How long does it take for a diamond to grow?
I love the videos!
I love science lives they are so funny!
We are going to watch this as a family. We all like Acellus and watching science live together.
This episode Billings Turbine is amazing! Willie Carrier was a smart man. It’s awesome that he made a special machine that keeps the humidity/cooling system. He made weather maker for the homes. I’m glad we got this. Didn’t realize Jet engine is a waste fuel and very costly.
Thanks had so much fun learning about turbines!
How powerful can these turbines get? Could they power whole factories?
Hi from Guam. Watching replay with my brother, PJ
Science Live is awesome!
I love videos of r 51 I see them and I crack up🤣🤣
The ended is crazy ha
Always love Science Lives! I learn a lot!
That’s so cool. Science Lives are nice
Science live is so amazing it teaches you thing you didn’t even know was real.
Wow Im from California watching this video right now this video is amazing but you guys always make great inventions especially about hydrogen.
I want to be an inventor too
Hi from Nc !!
It’s so cool that they are inventing a cancer treatment that only kills the bad cells! That’s so cool!!!
If nothing can travel faster than light, how can the universe expand faster than light?
Science live is the best science live stream ever!
Hi from new york! i’m in love with the concept of science lives it’s very informative and intelligent <33
Saying hi from Catonsville Maryland!
Btw I loved this episode of Science Live. You always have so much to teach us it’s impressive! I don’t think I could come up with as many ideas as Dr. B for videos lol!
i am a fan of how people are working on finding a better way to get rid of cancer cells without getting rid of the good cells it can help so many people . And it is also very interesting how Stanford is studying how to use diamond to cool down the chips used in electronics and how they’re trying to make diamond pillars in memory chips to keep them working good. Dr. billings is a very entertaining personality and puts a lot of expression and character into what he talks about.
Joining from South Carolina!!
Hello science live is awesome!!! Watching from New York
Hi from Ohio! What other gems can be grown in a lab?
I enjoy learning from science live!!!
what do you use to generate the diamond?
i love R-51!!
Hello I am from New Mexico
We are so grateful for Acellus Academy and Science Live!
I love watching science live!
Hi from South Carolina!!
I can always count on Science Live to teach me something I never would have thought of before!
Hi from Florida!!!!
My mom and nana have had cancer so it would be really awesome for them to come up with a new treatment that just attacks the cancer cells instead of all your cells! I hope this becomes a new cancer treatment to save people lives!
I learn so much from Science Live!
These episodes are really fun to watch.
I love the science lives!
Is it ok for anyone to use Acellus to graduate? Im not too sure if that makes sense.
I didn’t realize until I started watching all of these videos how many inventions and projects you have worked on. How many have you done? Do you have any unfinished that you gave up on? I don’t think I would have the patience to work on some for years. How do you decide to keep going or to give up on one?
R51 is cool.
What specifically do you think it is about Acellus compared to traditional schools that made students able to excel so quickly once they began learning using the program?
I’m glad they’re coming up with ways to cool computer chips. It would definitely help.
Science live is the best!
Science lives teach you things you didn’t know
Science lives are the best
This is my first daughter video. This video are amazing!
Where I live, the public buses are powered by hydrogen.
I hope one day I will help the military to help people with science and technology that I’m learning about on science live and classes.
