Hello from Florida!!
I love science Live!
So cool love learning about inventioneering
I think it is cool the plane uses a screen instead of a window, but it might be dangerous if an enemy programmed the screen to simulate the environment in hopes of diverting the plane or crashing it.
Can this manganese complex actually split water yet, or is it still being tested?
I really loved today’s episode it was my favorite
You can tell the designers of the Concorde took note of the design of birds because it looks just like one!
Thats really interesting. I always wondered how batteries were invented and where their name came from.
It was very interesting hearing about the Jaden Jar and the airplanes, quick question, what was the airplane Roger Billings flew in?
Also, happy Thanksgiving!
one more thing lol, anyone wanna talk about snakes? (its completely random but I’m desperate-)
Science live is my favorite!
Shout out from Tennessee!
How do you become an inventor?
Science Live is so great! I love learning new things every week……
thank you for science live
thank you acelles ;0 :0
How many days did it take to make the airplane?
I used to have a favorite subject in school, but with acellus I really like all subjects.
thank you i love Acellus academy
I think the idea to be more healthy is really good
Sometimes we just use batteries without thinking or thanking the person who invented it! It’s very interesting to learn about batteries and inventioneering!
hey from virgina
Mississippi here, what’s the difference between engineneering and inventornerring?
batteries need batteries lol thank you science live.
Happy Holidays!
I love r-51 ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy thanksgiving.
Hello from Rockmart GA!
The lightbulbs portion was interesting
learning with Acellus is fun!
Hello- from Missouri
How does that long airplane go so fast?
hello from cold NC!
didn’t know thats how batteries were named!
great live!
Science Live is so amazing
I hope everyone has a great Christmas if you celebrate! Happy holidays to everyone!
I didn’t know it was illegal to do sonic booms over land
I think Ben Franklin was a very smart man
literally so cool love the video!!
hello from north carolina
Those jar batteries are neat.
Today’s science live was just as fascinating as always! And as usual, I learned a lot. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving – I’ll be seeing everyone in the next!
It’s sad that competition is seen as a bad thing when it pushes people to work harder and do better.
R51 is hilarious!
The jars looked like light bulbs.
another great science live thank you!
that was the best one yet
How can you become a test pilot?
Who knew there were so many interesting types of batteries?
How do you make it so the jet goes the speed of sound?
LET’S GO ACELLUS ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!😂
Hi From Maryland
I think it’s cool how they used HD camera to help the pilot see
That’s really cool with the jets!
is there any other inventions from a long time ago that can be used for airplanes?
I love R-51 and also love to learn something new every week with science live.
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus Academy!
Thank you for the clarification on the scholarship attendance!
Hello from Massachusetts! Thank you for the science video this week. I love being able to make food during this season!
Hello from TX
I loved this live. Thank you.
Hi from Illinois! Love learning about inventions!
Is there any other inventions from a long time ago that we can use today?
I appreciate the instructions on how to ensure the scholarship program credit is evaluated. Hi from Maryland.
Hi from Mississippi!
The battery portion was so awesome!
Thanks for clearing up on how to attend properly, because I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right.
We love science live!
Happy Thanksgiving and Hello From South Dakota
wow i didit know battreys came from that far back
Acellus is fantastic!
Thanks for a great lesson!
You have had some amazing adventures in your life. God has blessed you! It would be nice to have these Science Live videos count as credits. Thanks for looking at doing that for us.
I love science live!
hello from teaxs
digital art class!!! 🎨📱please!!
How much static electricity do they use
Hello from Az
Super cool😎
I watched last weeks video today, sorry about that! Dr Billings needs to take away r-51’s access to morse code so that he doesn’t end up getting the whole planet invaded!
i love science live today. <3
My favorite part was when Dr. John talked about the X-59 super sonic jet
This is for Pajet, ” Self-Pity not for me.” That lesson really helped me. Thank you!
I hope every student and teacher has a merry Christmas!
I never knew Ben Franklin tried to cook a turkey with a battery !!???
P.S. Merry Christmas !!!!!
hi from texas!!
Science Live is so fun!
When the pilot is flying the jet because they use HD cameras can it cause eye strain like how other digital screens can?
Hello from northern Michigan! I liked the part about the batteries & the Leyden jars, I thought that it was very cool.
Thanks for the Morse code lesson
I think it is so cool that Ben Franklin named “electrical batteries”!!!!
thankyou for help in makeing acellus
i love science live!
How did they make the jet to not make a loud sound.
I enjoyed the X59 flight and I would like to be a NASA Test Pilot.
I am grateful that my family celebrated Thanksgiving 2025 in Pigeon Forge, TN.
That is cool that you got to go to a Navy science ship.
Batteries s hmmm
I love science live!!
I love R51
hi from Mississippi
They are experimenting with a jet called X59 to reduce the sonic bomb when flying over land. It has a very long noise on the jet to help dispense the noise. The engine is on top of the jet to help reduce noise as well. One disadvantage of the long nose, the pilot can not see, so they have a wrap around screen in the cockpit for the pilot to see. It makes it great cause they can see under the jet as well.
I thought it was cool to learn that Franklin created a stronger zap by adding more layden jars to the equation. It also shows how powerful the zap is when the zap eletrocuted Franklin.
I enjoyed learning about morse code. The skit was funny.
This episode was really interesting! I liked the part where they explained how invention and engineering come together. It was easy to understand.
That is such cool looking plane!
I really loved this episode!
Great video keep up the good work: LETS GOOOO ACELLUS
Science live teaches us so many cool things!
I love the science live
Thank you for giving me the chance to watch Science Live and the scolarship!
Great science live this week!!!!!!!
Hello from Kentucky
I didn’t know that the Big Bang theory was being questioned now. Why?
I found the part on the Laden Jar experiment really cool. I never knew about it, and it was probably an extremely cool technological advancement at the time.
Hello from Texas.
hi its myla from florida
Batteries are so intriguing, thank you for sharing.
I learned about a new jet that was invented and took its first flight this year in October.
That plane is pretty cool looking. That is a super long nose.
hello from Illinois
I love science live so much its so entertaining!!!
I might be able to watch Science LIVE [ LIVE] Today! [Normally I have something going on at that time]!!
Love watching science live!
I love science live
Thank yall hope yall had a good thanksgiving/break.
why does the X-59 not slant the nose Concorde
Hi! I’m watching from Ohio
You guys are great!
I love watching these
Is it hard to control a airplane that has a down pointed nose?
I liked the x-59 jet
I’ve been wondering a lot about the scholarship attendance recently, thanks for clarifying everything!
Questions:
1. When did they get the planes right without the long pointed nose in the first picture and without the long body that was downward in the second picture?
2. Was the Voltage pole in the Leyden Jar or was it used to balance out the Electricity Charge in the Jar? and since it was the 1700s, how did the Electricity get in the Jar?
Thank you for explaining about Science live. It really helped us. My stepmom would like you to do this more.
Hi from Texas
Imagine if Benjamin Franklin had never made the discoveries he did. Where would we be now?
I could never drive aa plane like that
Thank you for the history, lesson and electricity, batteries, and how planes operate.
I loved this science live!
Why can’t you mix an older battery with a fresh new one ?
Learning about the battery part and all of the key factors that play into it!
Can anyone be an inventer?
This is my first time watching this, and I loved hearing about the invention of batteries, they were very interesting to see!
Is inventing easy?
Cool science live keep up the good work!
Amazing live this week!
hi from Arkansas i love Sinence live
I have done the battery to the tongue thing. It zing’s you.
Where does the supersonic boom come from?
This was a very interesting science live!!!!
Great science live episode.
Batteries came a long way
hello from Uganda
That was an intresting science live. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I love these videos.
This episode was really inspiring. I love how Rodge Billings explains science in a way that actually motivates you to learn more. can’t wait for the second one.
how does the cameras not fall of the plane
I thought they were actual dirty socks, not a dog. 🙂
hello from ct
Im glad i know about the scholarship and how it actually works.
Science Live is cool.

What is r-51s fave color
I like Science Live
Thank you for another wonderful video I can’t wait till next week!
I wonder if he knew the battery would be so useful when he did it
I liked learning about the jet
Science Lives are really good! I enjoy watching them. Could their be a Nutrition class?
who started all of this inventing like who was the very first person
I like how they made electricity in jars
Due to how early the first battery was created, who and when did the first tool or multimeter come around to test battery voltage?
Hey from Puerto rico
