The amount of creativity that goes into inventioneering amazes me.
Super greatful for science live!
Inventioneering is an awesome name!
I can only imagine if my home was hydrogen powered!
Solar energy is so cool, jets are so interesting to me!
Dr Roger Billings is just great
If everyone drove hybrid cars, could we decrease oil consumption in half?
Wow I watch these episodes with my mom a lot and she did not know how easy it was to see what learning activities I have completed
watching from tennessee. very interesting stuff!
hydrogen power is super cool
I didn’t know batteries were that old.
I always wondered why electric batteries were called batteries. I’ve watched a lot about the Napoleonic Era and during that time period artillery was often referred to as batteries.
Dr Roger Billings is an amazing teacher
It would be pretty neat to invent or discover something before anyone else had.
Hi from NJ thank you Dr. Billings this was a great episode!
Thank you for sharing!
Hydrogen power seems like a great alternative
Science amazes me!
Great Science Live! We love R51!
I learned SOS when I went to public school. I would really like to go to the real Area 51.
Dr.B you have taught me to keep chasing my dreams every since I heard you talk about your dreams and accomplish it I’ve been wanting to complete my goal even more so thank you for inspiring me!
The sonic boom is so cool. I want to hear it.
I love the idea of inventioneering. Never heard about it before.
How did NASA come up with the shape of the X-59?
I love acellus academy.
We love Acellus.
This engineering series is so much fun!!!
The house being hydrogen power is sooo cool
Dr. Billings is amazing in the video.
I love Science Live! Watching from Tennessee!
Wensdays are the best I love science live!!!
Watching from Connecticut.
i love science live why would they be flying jets anyways?
This live was very educational!
I didn’t know Benjamin Franklin was the reason for that
Inventioneering is a wide range of multiple types of things
Very cool! Thank you! Working on gratitude.
Leyden jar is interesting
Dr Roger you are the best science teacher! I’m learning so much!
Loved this!
Batteries are so cool
Why would the creation of an antenna be more art than science, is that cause they want it to look more fancy?
that was a cool video.
I love this one its was fascinating
I didnt know about the sonic boom law, i think ive heard jets break the sound barrier before when i was up north.
Thank you for talking about the scholarship requirements. It would be really cool if they are able to use magnets to separate the elements of water.
that jet was so cool looking!! loved this science live!
Are aircraft allowed to do a sonic boom during an airshow? I think I’ve seen one before.
i iked this episode
I love this weeks episode so much.
Roger billings is the best
Roger Billings is teaching me a lot
I am thankful for how far I have come this year!
R 51 is hilarious 🙂
science live is so fun!
Acellus is GREAT!
I love learning from Acellus
It was interesting learning about radio waves.
Inventioneering is he blend of creativity and engineering
I am excited about this episode
Thank you for a wonderful science live!
I love Dr Roger Billings
I great science live this week
Batteries are so small now, compared to the 1900s.
Dr Billings so funny
this was a great lesson
science live is amazing
I have 2 questions:
So #1. tobais was talking about infired light so i’m wondering, is infered a color? 🤔
And also what does the radio wave do to make the current go through the aluminum balls‽
This episode was 100% awesome ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Watching from NM
Is their a speed limit for planes?
hi from florida
Dr Roger Billings is great.
Happy Thanksgiving!
so cool!
hydrogen powered cars would be a nice supliment to gas and be a lot cheaper
I always find Science Live so entertaining, inspiring and educating. As always, R-51 was so fun to watch!
Awesome video
Happy Thanksgiving
Can you be both an artist and a scientist, or can you be really bad at art and still be a scientist?
It would be good to invent something someday that could change the world. Watching all these invention stories, it’s hard not to wonder how they got there?
what would happen if the cameras stopped working on the jet?
The 9-volt battery: The touch it to your tongue battery. I am so glad I am not the only one who does that! 🙂
I found learning about the history of batteries very fascinating. Thank You!
Soo interesting
I like science !
Amazing
Dr Roger is SO amazing and cool!!
Science live has made me love science even more i love it!!!
this was so intersting!
Really enjoyed the story of how batteries were made
I might become a pilot myself.
i feel like hydrogen houses would be crazy but lowkey good for our enviernment which would be so cool.
I enjoy science live !
Love these
I love science lives
I love that science live makes things so easy to relate to.
Thank you for teaching us something new every week
I want a bigger spark! Ha. Interesting to think about it all
The nose bending reminds me of a bird!
DR.R-51 LOVE THAT HAT! AND THE EXPERIMENT! THANKS FOR SHOWING ME!
It’s cool how they used aerodynamics to reduce the sound of the jet’s sound!
It’s cool how they used aerodynamics to reduce the sound of the jet’s sonic boom!
If my home was hydrogen powered how much money would that save/waste?
Acellus is AMAZING i love it!
Love science live!
If you were to type out the world’s longest word in Morse code, how long would it take?
Didn’t know “inventioneering” was a word but you learn something new every day!
Loved this lesson.
Always fun to watch
It was super neat to learn about the Layden Jars and how Benjamin Franklin tried to cook a turkey with it.
DR B, YOU ARE SO COOL. I LOVE THE MUSIC ALSO!!!
i LOVE THIS SHOW
I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE!!!!
Love all the videos there all so amazing.
Imagine calling a real UFO, how awesome or scary would that be.
Thank you for taking your time to teach and inspire us!
The jet looked really cool! Definitely something straight out of a movie, I also enjoyed r51 today 🙂
I love science live!
Dr Roger Billings is amazing
Thank you for the Science Live.
Wow very interesting!
i love science so much
Science lives are always fun to watch when you wanna learn something new
It would be so cool if we could use hydrogen to power other things like homes or machinery!
This live was really cool to watch.
This inspires me to want to do my own inventions
Leyden jar is so cool!
I love these
I always enjoy hearing about Dr. Billings stories, the ones about the planes were cool.
The jet looks like a paper air plane
hydrogen power is so cool
I want to invent something. What is the first step?
R51 is so funny!
i enjoy these videos
hello from ky!
What is manganese?
I always find science live is so interesting!
Hydrogen power is so cool!
I’m so curious to the process of the creation of the R51 bits! Is there a script or is it all improvisation? Love all aspects to it!
This was my favorite one so far
Dr Roger is the best
How would you say this produces modern technology?
The R51 segments always get me laughing so hard!
Its sad that animals get exposed to the radiation.
R51 is always so fun to watch
interesting video!
Dr Roger is amazing and funny!
I like the word inventioneering
Hydrogen power would be awesome for my shop.
The things that people have been able to create with radio waves is so fascinating, like with the morse code messages.
This was a great episode!
I like how Dr Billings explains science from his own personal experiences and history.
Oh my gosh it must have taken so much practice to be a pilot. That landing looks insane.
Interesting episode. love catching back up on the science lives throughout the day!
could we learn more about Leyden jar?
This was so cool and I’m formative, is it possible you guys can expand on this subject?
I would like to fly that jet
I liked learning that mold grows 20 times faster in space than on earth.
The infared light was invisable, but when new materials were grown and combined it made the infared light visible.
Its really cool that you can send signals with radiowaves to turn on a lightbulb, and turn it of by tapping it.
Dr Roger Billings is a genius for making Acellus!!!
I love science live!!
Dr. Billings is great
This enhanced my understanding of engineering!
I loved ths one so much! Thank you!
Hydrogen Power is cool. I know I’ve heard my dad talk about the hydrogen powered vehicles before.
science live is my favorite part of Acellus
What happens when the lumens get to hot?
I am interested in being an engineer so this video is super cool.
I wonder how many people should have credit for their engineering but no one ever documented it hundreds of years ago!
It’s always interesting to see the wacky inventions of R-51.
Love this Science live video, Thanks Acellus.
Competition makes for better product since it leads to industries wanting to outdo the others in that group, leading to more satisfaction.
Thanks for the reminders about Science Live.
Wow, for a science live episode I’m impressed
science is one of my favorite subjects!
Science live is so interesting !
Inventing is such a cool process!
