Hello from Texas!
We use batteries all the time. They help when the electricity is out.
R 51 is so funny, best scientist ever.
I was wondering how the pilot fit in the aircraft! I makes sense that he was laying down. Lol
Is hydrogen powder dangerous?
The jet looked so awesome. Too bad I can’t see it in person.
Having a science credit would be awesome!
Hello from Texas! I always look forward to science live😍
It’s nice to have clarification how to make sure my attendance is counted for Science Live.
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to learn about science.
learned about batteries! Thanks!
So thats how the baterie was made I never
thought that the idea was made in a jar and 90 volts that powerful.
Happy Wednesday. Hydrogen Power is so Interesting!
I am glad they used radio waves to help us communicate with people far away
This was my first Science Live. It was very interesting.
Regarding watching science live what do you do if you forget? And for sonic boom how do you know what kind of ear protection to wear?
Thanks Dr. B and everyone for all the great things you share with us!
Making An Invention is so exciting!! the jet is so ineteresting too!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to watch science live!
I always look forward to watch science live episodes with my family thanks you guys for keeping it interesting
We would like to invent something that naturally cleans all of our drinking water around the world, at little to no cost to others.
Thanks for clarifying the attendance for the science lives. It’s been a bit confusing since it updated.
These live videos are always so intertaining to watch.
I’m glad you guys fixed the auto sign in, makes this much easier
I love that we can write a book!
How did inventioneering get its name?
My name is Harvey and I’m from Illinois.
Hello watching from Texas, I love science livessss.
I love the concord airplane! i never saw this before
Wow, so cool how batteries looked before!
What is one thing you can take from inventioneering?
It’s so awesome how one small invention could be turned into such a bug one that’s used almost everywhere in the world! It’s inspiring to see this!
Science is absolutely amazing!!
Dr Tobias is amazing
Science is one of the only subjects that can hold my interests, so it’s nice that it’s in a way that’s easy to understand
Interesting how batteries used to have the positive and negative on top instead of positive top and negative on bottom!
I am curios about the supersonic jet and if they can make a supersonic passenger plane!
I love all the videos that you guys are making
It is very interesting that some jests can go faster than the speed of sound
the box with 3 batteries looks like a small phone
Happy late thanksgiving from Ohio everybody!!
Is that law the reason the jets that could travel faster than time zones was banned?
Inventioneering is so interesting
So interesting about x-59!
I am super excited to see the next flight of the jet.
That jet was awesome! I want to design or fly jets one day. My favorite jet is the Boeing 747-400.
A hydrogen powered house would be amazing
Dr Roger billings is amazing and i enjoy learning different and new things from him every week
How many inventioneering are there?
Awesome video this week as always!! I love being able to learn new things each week!
My family celebrates Thanksgiving by calling it the Cooking Olympics where we all bring a dish and compete for bragging rights. We do this to remove ourselves from Thanksgiving’s bloody history.
How do plasma TV’s work?
I am learning about batteries and circuits in science class!
I love Acellus.
I love how easy it is to learn cool science in Science Live every week!
I have morse code letters written in a note book of mine, its so cool to see it in this episode.
Learning about the jets was cool!
Thank you for the better explanation of how Science Live is monitored. I sometimes just totally forget if it has been a busy week, but I try to watch every week. Thank you.
The x-59 is amazing!! Scary to think that these planes do not have front windshields . My concern would be any malfunction for the hd screens. Is there a backup in the case of a malfunction?
Thank you so much
Happy Thanksgiving! I helped and made bread rolls!
Dr roger billings is amazing
Great learning science news
why did they build the metal complex
I liked learning about the tube under the plane that helps the piolets know their speed.
if hydrogen couold be a energy source that would be coollll
with the aircrafts that can go faster to the speed of sound, is that a step closer to possibly inventing something that can go faster than the speed of light?
This is a great Science Live!
How do people actually comes up with the actually invention?
I like to be a problem-solver.
this was a very good one i truly enjoyed it
I wasn’t aware that aircraft weren’t allowed to make sonicbooms, does that apply to the military ones too?
Thank you Accelus academy ever since I joined I have become more responsible and I have become smarter.
Thank you for a great Science Live this week!
I wish I could see Dr Roger Billings!
I appreciate the variety of the topics presented each week!
What are some new ways I can invent things in todays world. Could someone make new inventions using AI?
I can’t believe Benjamin Franklin tried to cook a turkey with a Leyden jar
happy thanks giving, I’m grateful to have such an amazing program to provide the learning opportunity that it does.
I love science live
I like how Dr. Roger Billings doesn’t limit his teachings to just fact but also opinion.
loved the morse code facts!
Thank you for teaching me!! Can’t wait to watch more.
I loved this science live episode!
I really enjoyed the part about morse code.
It was really cool to find out about how the people in Germany are making something to split water into hydrogen and oxygen
I loved the show thank you
Dr. R51 was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video was so interesting i enjoyed it!
Looking forward to watching this episode with my brothers right now.
Greetings from Montana!
I love hydrogen!!!
I love Acellus!!!!
Your stories are so interesting> How can you get started creating inventions?I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving>
What does volt mean?
Happy Holidays from Mississippi!!
SCIENCE LIVE IS THE BEST I LOVE IT!!!
How difficult is it to get an invention patented?
I wonder how long it will take them to find something to pair with manganese to be able to split water and use the hydrogen.
I liked Wayne’s book
What was the first jet to hit the sound barrier.
Making books is one of my favorite activities.
Very inspirational and motivating
Happy late thanksgiving everyone!
I wonder what kind of advancement we will get out of these new jets
The experiment on the battery is new to me on how the 6 thin stick made a battery.
I think the part were the pilot could not see in the plane and the made it to were the video was recording the video was new in a way, but to think of all the things we can do to make the world a better place like make a bike fly to day.
I wonder if they tried to use VR when they were designing the X59?
From oklahoma that was really cool
i like how drb explains things.
I love watching these amazing videos.
It is really cool to learn how the first radio was powered without electricity.
i love watching these every week.
I would love if my home could be hydrogen powered!
I absolutely love R-51!!!
R 51 was real funny
I found the supersonic jets very fascinating, especially the part about how NASA is creating a supersonic jet, without the incredibly loud sonic boom.
if my house was hydrogen powered that would be cool
What would happen if the cockpit cameras stopped working mid-flight… or would that just never happen because they have a long battery life or something?
Love these videos so much!!
I loved this one! Happy late thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, really enjoy the inventioneering science lives!
This was fun to watch. Happy late thanksgiving!
Our instructors have a good sense of humor. “Turning the oven over 180 degrees”.
Batteries and radios have changed quite a bit since their first creation.
So cool! Always something neat!
Drb is amazing
I wish my home was powered by hydrogen powered
Would something special happen if you went the exact speed of sound not under or over the exact same speed?
This science live was very interesting.
These videos are so cool!
Who did the first inventioneering thing?
I love science live! My brother, who doesn’t even do Acellus, always wants to watch it with me!
I love Science Live!
radio waves were really interesting
Is there any worries over the HD cameras for the X59 loosing visibility, or are they just as durable as the windows used for other jets?
I want to be a scientist when I grow up
I learn a lot watching science live every week.
I only know numbers in Morse code so far.
I loved this video it was super fun to watch!
Thank you for these videos I’ve learned so much!
I love getting to learn new things with these videos, I’m very crafty but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to invent anything because of that! Thank you for the information!
Thank you for these scientific videos I’ve learned so much!
I always enjoy the opening jokes! I was, however, quite drawn in by Dr. John’s section on engineering and robotics. I have always been fascinated by the study of engineering, coding, and robots!
Inventioneering is very cool I love how Dr rodger billings can be so creative like who can think about making a hydrogen powered car!
Science live is so much fun .
Am I the only person who feels like they need to invent something after watching this episode on Inventioneering? Batteries and radios have really evolved from their first invention.
The x59 jet looks like a bird that has a long beak.
Roger billings is the best
greetings from TX!
Science live is the best ever.
R51 A is Dot Dot….. can you guess what D is, Dot Dot.
Thank you acellus for another great science live, I am so grateful and appreciative to everyone who works so hard to make science live a magical and educational experience! Thank you.
Batteries are very interesting
I like the learning activities that I can do when I finish my work!
I love inventing things too!
I think it’s cool that the jet doesn’t have a windshield and it has a computer to operate it.
Thank you for clarifying the scholarship program.
I love Dr. Billing’s humor and the knowledge he shares.
Wow batteries are so old.
It is crazy to think a pilot is laying down while flying a plane that has no windows.
I love inventing things!
I like planes so the X-59 looks really cool and intresting
Thank you for all these fun videos!! I love Science!!
Ever ready was smart with those quadruple batteries! Cool to know where the design came from.
Happy Thanks Giving! I love hearing the newest Science News, it always brings something new and exciting to learn, and talk about!! : )
I loved this episode! My favorite part was the Technology Spotlight from Dr John about limiting the sound of a sonic boom. The sound of a sonic boom occurs because of the pressure waves it creates. Recently, NASA created a jet called the X57 to test limiting the sonic boom sound. By using a longer nose, the sound of the sonic boom went down. I can’t wait for the next episode!
When was inventioneering first created?
This episode was amazing!!!
Science live always surprises me!
Thank you for making this!!
I continue to enjoy science live every week
I love Acellus. It is so fun and I enjoy using Acellus for my schooling.
So fun to watch!
Great stream! You can really tell they put in so much hard work to make it perfect for us students, thank you!
an amazing science live this week
Happy thanksgiving
Thank you for the reminder to be grateful for who and what we have. I also liked learning about batteries in this episode.
