I would like to know how loud a sonic boom can get.
Will you make a course in scientific method/science projects for each grade level? I really enjoy R51 and I learn a lot watching the interactions between you and Dr. Pajetmonet.
that jet looks so cool! And that joke that Roger Billings told about it was so funny!🛩️
Happy thanksgiving and the Morse code is super with r-51 is super interesting
Technology back in those times has always fascinated me, especially when you compare it to modern versions of the same thing. It’s amazing to see which components have stayed the same and which components have been changed or removed entirely.
Can you hear your own voice if you are traveling faster than the speed of sound?
I’m so thankful for Acellus for helping me
Loved this lesson! Happy thanksgiving
R-51: ‘I know that! Your speaking to a super intelligent being!’ 🙂 I love Morse code. Happy Thanksgiving!
I love R51
That’s cool! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
R51 is so funny
Thanks for offering this series.
Happy Thanksgiving from Tennessee!!!
What I learned about is batteries and how Benjamin Franklin got shocked by the batteries and is very interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Grateful for you and this amazing school.
Watching from Virginia!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for another great episode of Science Live. The accident with Leyden jars in the story reminds me that electrical safety is always the top priority.
I love science Live!
It’s cool how the pilot sees through a camera in the plane that has a really long nose. R51 was was so funny too. Thank you for this week’s Science Live.
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for Acellus! It has really made homeschooling easier and has helped me a lot. Thank you! Science Live is so interesting and fun to watch, Thank you for taking the time.
I would love to have a home with hydrogen power. It would be awesome to have an alternative to standard power.
I really loved this episode! I learned so much about planes and inventing. Science Live always inspires me—thank you, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy thanksgiving! Thank you for Acellus, It has really made homeschooling easier for me and is helping me a lot. Thanks!
I am so very much looking foward to thanksgiving. What are yall planning on doing and eating? That kid that wrote a story about dirty socks was so cute and smart. I think the Leyden jar is pretty cool. I wonder what the best kind of battery is? Is it not interesting or unique how they gave a cheap battery such a big name like a capacitor?
Are the plane cameras overhead or in front of you? happy thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving acellus
R51 is so funny! Thank you so much for Acellus and Science Live! It’s awesome!
I ddint know batteries could be so big
Can you teach us how to create words in Morse code?
I liked learning about the jets! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for another great Science Live. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
I hope that the X-59 can improve supersonic aircraft and allow supersonic travel over land.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!:)
Its crazy of things that we use today, like the origin of batteries and why they were named. It’s something we don’t even think about but we use on a daily basis.
It’s so cool that we got to see how electronics improved throughout the years.
r-51 was also supper funny!😆
Happy thanksgiving!
I thought it was cool to learn about the NASA jet trying to eliminate the sonic boom and make it more like a thud. I think its so amazing how people come up with ideas to fix a problem, I didn’t think the long nose on the jet would do anything. I also thought it was nice to know that the battery went through so many phases before it became what we know as the battery today.
How fast can the X-59 fly, can it go past mock-3 without the long nose breaking off?
I enjoyed Science Live. Happy Thanksgiving.
All hail R51 lol, happy Thanks Giving to every one!
I love hearing about how inventions build off each other over time. Very interesting! Happy Thanksgiving to you all 🙂
We love Acellus!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job r51
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Acellus staff. I’m so thankful for all your hard work, I really hope that one day I could meet you all and tell my story of how my Acellus journey started. Thank you so much for every thing.
Nice to see you guys again!
Its so cool to hear these things!
yayy i love acellus
This was such a great science live!
Great live. Happy turkey day
Morse code will always be so interesting !
I learned a lot about planes today! happy Thanksgiving everyone
I am so thankful for Acellus, it has made me acknowledge how I have no mental limits, and I have felt true peace in learning. thank youuu
Do the cameras on the jet rotate or are they fixed and the pilot switches to them.
Happy thanksgiving everyone! This year I am thankful for Acellus and Acellus Live!
Thank you Acellus!
I live near Seymour Johnson AFB. We have an airshow every year. It is awesome to go see all the different kinds of airplanes there are.
I am thankful for R 51.
Happy Thanksgiving! Im thankful for Acellus and Science Live!
Yesterday I went to the Kennedy Space Center and I realized that many rockets are powered with hydrogen, is the way hydrogen power work in a car the same as in a rocket?
I love Acellus live!
How fast is the speed of sound?
How do you get an invention to the right person? An invention isn’t any good if only the inventor knows about it.
R51 trying to do Morse code was really funny.
I LOVE IT
Happy Thanksgiving to the Acellus crew! I would have liked to know the formula and/or the calculations that went down for the X-59
Great episode, and happy thanksgiving!
R51 is so funny
Happy Thanksgiving!
It would be cool to fly a jet that makes a super sonic boom sound. Wonder how bad the shock would be from the Leyden jar?
I love Acellus happy thanks giving!
The X-59 airplane is cool. Can’t wait to see if it is a success *
I loved how Dr. tobias talked about batteries.
I am thankful for Acellus and letting me learn here!
My whole family watched this with me!!
I love hearing about new inventions! The future looks exciting! I love Acellus!
This episode of Science Live was interesting and unique!
I love how flexible the Science Live Videos are. Works great with my busy schedule.
I’m thankful for Acellus and all we get to learn and see because of it!
I’m curious, what project did you invent that won your science fair, Mr. Billings?
I think I am interested in becoming an electrician someday so making and completing circuits for projects is interesting and fun for me right now.
Hey from Wisconsin, we got like 5 inches or more of snow yesterday.
I like how inventions require art and science and requires so much testing and creativity it really is beautiful!
Hi from Ohio, excited to learn more from science live today!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you guys for the science live!
its very cool learning about what stuff we used a while back and how its been upgraded tremendously into a new and way better version
I love Acellus.
Happy thanks giving to everyone in Acellus.
Hello from Jersey!! loved the live!
Happy thanksgiving! I’m thankful for having Acellus.
This thanksgiving, I am thankful for Acellus.
Was the Leyden Jar the first battery?
Dr. John is the best.
Love learning about these topics. I am going to miss these lives as I am graduating soon.
morse code is honestly such a cool thing it’s amazing that we can talk to people through little things like that
That was awesome! I love learning about jet engines and batteries
Batteries are such a useful invention. It’s cool how they can be recharged over and over.
I really want to check out the experiment with aluminium foil balls in a jar
I love thanksgiving!
R-51 sent a s-o-s (save our ship) so funny.
Thank you, happy holidays
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I can’t wait to watch this video!
Science live is so amazing, I love watching it every week!
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
R51 is hilarious😆🤣
I love how much effort goes into making these science lives.
I found it interesting that static electricity was seen as magical in the old times.
Inventioneering sounds so cool! Thanks for this live!
R-51 is cool
happpy thanksgiving to the best teachers at Acellus
Acellus has helped me learn more than I ever have.
Hello from Pennsylvania!
I’m thankful for Acellus ,happy thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving eve from Ohio!
I would like to know Dr. Billing’s favorite science subject.
loved learning about positive and negative
I love getting to learn things from science live, Happy Thanksgiving
Weston from Texas here. Thx you so much for this program.
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE!
That’s cool so many of us watch the acellus live. Happy thanksgiving everyone. 🦃
I want to visit the tallest mountain, it sounds fun! I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving and eats lots of turkey!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE 😉 🙂 😉 🙂
Everything was very interesting, R-51 was very funny, I liked everything in the video, nice day.
I really enjoy live science live lessons… it was great seeing R51 again ! Happy Thanksgiving you’ll !
I loved learning about the supersonic jet, it was interesting how they used cameras and it will probably be used in planes in a couple of years. I hope that the supersonic jet will also be used worldwide!
It was interesting to hear how Benjamin Franklin named the first battery! And we still call it that today. I always wonder where names of things come from.
That’s crazy that Benjamin Franklin tried to cook a turkey with a Layden Jar. Happy Thanksgiving.
R51 is funny
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I love hearing about different inventions.
Thank you science live, r-51 is back at it again
The batteries are so cool! And today I think R51 is the best!!!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Learning sbout the origin of batteries was very interesting. Love it!
I thought the program was very interesting today love your program.
Hi from Ecuador, Latin America!
It’s so amazing to talk about batteries and morse code. It’s important, helpful and entertaining at the same time. I’m so thankful for Acellus. Love u
I love to see where the things we use today because I always ask myself where and why it is called that.
I’m glad we have phone’s to text now these days, morse code looks very difficult, thanks again for today’s science live. Have a happy thanksgiving. 😁
It is a great topic to learn about invention. I hope one day I can invent something cool.
It’d be so convenient to have super sonic passenger planes, instead of it taking several hours to get from “New York to London (example)” it could take at most just one hour.
Hello, from Florida!
I find the advise of the half full glass very true.
This video is very interesting. Thank you, Acellus!
Enjoyed this ton! especially learning about planes, personally I like the R-51, so funny. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Common aircrafts that take flights faster than the speed of sound initiate pressure waves into large shockwaves by their configurations to move in a quicker speed. On the otherhand, the X-59 aircraft which also travels faster than the speed of sound initiates and manipulates shockwaves that are extended out throughout the air with its long, pointy nose and structure. The difference between them is that the X-59 makes a minor sound with only 75 decibels when breaking the sound barrier, which is equivalent to the sound of a car door’s closure. The other aircrafts that travel in the speed of sound make a 110 decibels sound when breaking the sound barrier, which is equivalent to the sound of a massive explosion.
Thank you for providing these science lives for us, I enjoy learning new things.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Science live is so cool
I found it very interesting that you can fly at sonic speed with out making a sonic boom. How loud is a sonic boom?
Today I have learned what the scientific process is, that science includes art, and to be grateful for everything 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus!
I love Acellus! And the way that some of those airplanes were shaped is amazing!!!!
R-51 was so funny
The morse code is so interesting and I like R51
Thank you so much for Science Live.
I LOVE SCIENCE
Inventioneering helps me think of new ideas. Great live science!
Batteries have definitely changed people’s lives; they make it possible for us to store, carry and use energy (electricity). Now they are made of different materials, in different forms and for different functions.
ACELLUS IS THE BEST 🙂 🙂
* I really learning ” Break though moment” with Tobias. My favorite part of it is the origin of the battery.
Today’s science live was great, happy thanksgiving everybody!!
Acellus is the best!
I already knew that SOS was dit dit dit dah dah day dit dit dit
the x58 is realy cool
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s really crazy to think Ben Franklin invented something (batteries) we still use today and how he paved the way for future battery technology.
I never knew batteries could be so interesting! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I love Acellus this was an amazing episode.
Happy thanksgiving to you guys
Happy Thanksgiving Dr Roger Billings and the rest of the Acellus team!
This live is very cool, thank you Acellus!
Happy Thanksgiving from West Virginia
