How cold does that water need to be to freeze like that?
i’ve been so curious as to how people make “soft ice”! i see this trend everywhere, but it’s so intresting to see how small trends also happen everyday in our atmosphere!
Hello Acellus, I am grateful for all the the teachers my IQ has gotten better and better because of you.
My Mom wants to know if there is anything she can do to help Acellus. She loves it so much for my brother and me and wants it to be around forever.
It’s interesting hearing the research that is going into removing ice from the plane.
THAT WAS SO COOL
Question for Dr billings, what was the most interesting thing that got you interested in science and inventing a lot of different things?
I love how Acellus gives its students so many opportunities!
How do you think the super cool air problem with airplanes will evolve over the next 100 years?

I didnt know that airplanes can get ice on them but i get why it needs to be removed.
How is project Deep Hole going Dr. Billings?
This is for Dr. John. Based on what you said about ice forming on planes, does that ever cause accidents?
Freezing ice can be a dangerous thing but the vibration I think is a good idea to be able to break the ice off.
