😁😁😁
I can’t wait to help you make the world a better place.
This is very helpful and also really interesting.
I enjoyed listening to the episode.
turbines are so awesome
I truly think science is impressive. To think I can invent anything if I just find a problem. This video gives me inspiration.
Today I’ve learned things I never would have known if it wasn’t for this video. Thank you. My mind is officially blown.
I have a question. What factors most effect the efficiency of billing turbines, and how could future designs improve their performance?
Fascinating concepts! Thank you for taking the time to make these!
This episode was amazing, I loved hearing about the turbine!
I love hearing about clean energy.
I’ve always been fascinated by the big wind turbines I see on road trips so this is awesome!
Great live science video.
Thanks Dr.Billings
The Billings turbine is so interesting.
It’s so amazing that this will make for cleaner energy in the future!
I’ve been enjoying these so much, honestly better than a Netflix show.
We have lots of turbines around us. They have even built a power plant to save the energy from them here.
I love learning from these lives!
Science live is growing to be my favorite part of school! It’s always so exciting!
It is amazing how the Billings turbine can create cleaner energy.
Clean energy is so important!!
Clean energy makes sense! Sometimes the smell of gas makes me sick
The Billings Turbine is an awesome invention and so cool that it is clean energy.
Go science liveee!!!!!
the fact that cancer treatment gets better everyday is so amazing
How many Hydrogen Engines have you made?
Hey from Virginia
wow! I did not know that!
I love the new courses coming up.
I watched the Billings Turbine
So cool! thanks for sharing!
With innovative thinking humans can achieve huge things like how using motion this turbine creates power
I watched the Billings Turbine
Learning about the turbine is really fun.
All the technology there is today is insane! the people 100 years ago would have never guessed how advanced we would become.
Future technologies is so neat to think about
I love learning about the newest technologies and how they’re solving the problems that come along with it, such an incredible skill.
One of the best ones I’ve seen!
Thank you for sharing all this great information with us!
Thank you so much
thank you for sharing this with us. It is exciting to hear more about clean energy!
I love technology and its properties!
This lesson was so cool to learn about!!
Here from Tennessee. I love learning
That’s interesting on how the engines work and the differences
Another cool video.
I love technology
Technology is so cool!
It’s wild that people can come up with so many inventions that can change the world!!
I love all the Science Live’s I have watched!!!
what is that blue liquid inside the rotary engine that Dr. Billings said didn’t catch on?
I love science live
Thank you for the encouragement to look for a problem. And thank you for having visuals during the videos. Seeing the the rotation in the turbine is helpful.
Is the alien available in the shop? It’s so cute!
I think you should make even more science life videos because how much I love them.
Turbines are cool
Airplanes are awesome
Merry Christmas from Texas..
I love science!!!
me to
Turbines are cool
How many different hydrogen inventions have you made?
So fun 🤩
r-51 is so funny! 🤣
I love hearing all of the things you guys talk about
