You always learn something each week
That experiment was really cool! Cant wait to learn more
Dr. Billings always does so great on these videos. So interesting to watch
Dr. John talked about radiation and its consequences. Joshua showed how we can make the graduation plan. Roger Billings and Pajet talked about Heinrich Hertz who was the first to produce and detect radio waves in the laboratory. They also talked about Édouard Branly who invented the Coherer. Roger Billings went to Área 51 to make experiments. A very striking phrase in this Science Live was “Keystone Inventor – often called an “inventioneer” is the visionary who integrates prior discoveries and inventions, making them practical, scalable, and commercially viable for society”.
That experiment was so cool to watch.
HOW many LEDs are in a iPhone?
Thanks for doing all of this, I really learn a lot from these.
r 51 you crack me up
How does inventing work with health care?
I love the R-51 addition to the show today. It keeps it interesting and fun!
Inventing new health inventions are so important for everyone it’s so amazing what technology can do!
That was super neat to watch! Also, Merry Christmas!
I liked this live from last week. Excited to watch tonight.
Personally I would have done a hawk for the pet I bring to mars so I could have it scout the landscape for me.
I love Acellus.
Wow Morse code is incredible.
I would love to travel to Mars!!
I had so much fun during this science live
This was cool to watch.
Science live makes me keep on dreaming. Seeing all these experiments and listening to other’s stories inspire me to do better.
I love how science live teaches you more than just science and sometimes even life.
Could you make a class teaching circuits
The way healthcare and technology has developed over the years is incredible.
I love learning about science!
I heard of that place on Youtube, and man that is the biggest explosion I’ve ever seen.
That experiment was so cool to watch.
I liked watching Science Live experiment’s and jokes it fun to watch!
I liked the frogs with radiation and without radiation
I loved all the talks tonight and the experiment.
I enjoy learning about science.
Do you think this new study of sweat can change the lives of those who suffer with Hyperhydrosis?
is tin foil a conductor?
Could the reason the coherer works with radio waves and sparks be that it effects the Electromagnetic field, creating a wave to which makes the ions go in one direction, allowing it to conduct electricity?
I’m so excited for this video
how do certain lights give off more heat than others
I love the cartoon at the end of the session. R 51 is a great inventor!
That experiment was so cool to watch.
I love watching science live!
Science Live is my favorite type of schoolwork.. if it classifies as schoolwork, I don’t know, but it’s still my favorite.
my favorite was about the mold. and that you can have it as a “warm and fuzzy pet”. 🙂
that experiment was so cool
I love acellus!
R 51 is so funny
I was there SO COOL
how long do you think it will take to make the first hydrogen house
Can we learn more about Morse code?
Could a Morse code transmitter be paired with a coherer in a way so that transmissions could be received over larger distances, given you had a way to shut off the light? Or would some amplifier be needed to handle the greater distances?
science live is the best
Infrared *I think that’s how it’s spelled anyway* can be used for remotes, but I’m aware that not all remotes use infrared signals. What’s the other signal(s)?
Also, the original LED was red, how did we get all the other colors and shades of LEDs? Or UV (Ultra Violet) lights for that matter?
This experiment was one of the best!-
That was interesting about LED light
I really like the history lessons
Just like you did a vote on T-shirts, I would like to do a vote on more activities, that would be really fun.
My family’s enjoying it right now!
I love science live!!!! ❤️
thank you for acellus
Great video! R 51 is so funny.
I struggle with staying motivated to do my work. What do you think is a good way to stay motivated?
It’s quite interesting that mold thrives in high radiation areas & that melanin plays a role.
Science live always cracks me up!
I feel like there are some really smart acellus students
The experiment that youguys did blew my mind
The radio help people to exchange information. That was amazing science ☺️
It’s crazy that some wildlife survived in the radiation, and that mold grew faster
did the radiation genetically change anything else about the other animals like how it did the frogs?
Medical inventions are very important.
The science experiment was fun to watch and I enjoyed learning about it
Really cool to see and know about, super funny videos every week!
R 51 never fails to make me laugh i swear.
how could anylizing your sweat help with health?
So many cool things today
That experiment was exciting & different…I liked it.
science live is just so intriguing
I am trying to watch the replay from last week and it keeps buffering, I can not get it to play.
How many days did it take to grow mold in mars?
when will the store item come out?
Learned so much about radio waves.
That was a great experiment. Thanks for sharing.
I love learning about inventions and how they help us in our everyday life! Great episode!
it is always so cool to learn somthing new from science live.
That’s cool about the radiation loving mold!
How do inventers come up with ides to build different things?
it’s fun learning how things are founded/ invented
i love this class
Thank you Acellus
This weeks science live was a really fun one to watch!
Loved this episode and the experiment was so cool.
r-51 rocks super funny
I always love the endings, so funny. Can’t wait for what next week brings!!!
I think inventions helps our healthcare. learning new things is important.
I appreciate when there are experiments.
There more we learn and advance for health care is so important
Happy Wednesday! Which goes down a slide faster, a shoe or a ball?
Mr John likes frogs
WoW Radio Waves are everywhere. What a cool experiment. Love Science Live!
I have a question for Dr. Rodger Billings what sparked your interest with hydrogen so much that eventually made you know for your constant experiments with this element.like building the first hydrogen running car.
Super interesting episode as always!
Could we really live on mars and what if the mold grows too much?
Very cool experiment.
Science live rocks.
I love listening to science live
I like being homeschooled.
Coherer is a really hard word to say!
I love how inventioneering inspires others to build with their imagination.
Do scientist believe that they will ever be able to have people live around Chernobyl in the future?
Very cool to learn about treating sweat. Love the video so cool
doctor John is smart
This is so awesome to watch!
That was interesting how after Chernobyl frogs and mold adapted to the radiation in their environment.
I wonder how far ai is really gonna go.
I’m so glad color LED lights were invented. They make my Christmas tree look so beautiful!
I found that the mold would be used to protect the radiation.
what is radiation?
I loved hearing about Chernobyl and what the radiation did to the animals and the mold. My dad and I love to watch documentaries about Chernobyl.
r51 is funny
i always look forward to seeing these science lives, thank you!
R51 is funny
I look forward to Sicence Live every week!!
My Mom works in healthcare. She is a sleep tech. I think I might like to work in healthcare when I am older.
So interesting to see how everything works together!
When will Chernobyl be habitable again?
My favorite subject is science
I looooove science experiments! Thank you for this episode.
the invention of Morse code was so amazing it must’ve been a historical moment in history I hope we keep on making more great inventions
I had no idea that LED’s have so much history
I really enjoyed this science live!
I really liked the experiment!
I always look forward to watching it every week, it’s amazing.
this was so fun to watch i always look forward to watching this every week
Why am I having so many problems to watch the video. It looks funny and the sound repeats
Science live is so much fun.
what inventions have you invented?
R 51 always cracks me up 🤣
Definitely he is sooooooo funny 😆😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro, Dr. B is so cool.
Loved this episode! Enjoying from Illinois
I really liked watching the experiment. I think you should do more science experiments in science live.
Haha! Seriously!
I love this experiment!! I have so much fun learning new stuff!! Also R51 is so funny😂
I love this expiriment
That experiment was so cool to watch.
That was a funny joke about eating the kids meal lol
I agree
The experiment was really cool to see
And R-51 is hilarious as always
Dr. B is inspiration
The black frog is cool.
Science live is so much fun.
I love learning how things were invented.
Could they build a whole structure like a house completely out of mold?
you inspire me so much
super cool experiment
How does Inventioneering help people use their imagination to build new cool things?
This is my favorite thing about school
Inventions in healthcare are so important. My brother has medical things he travels for special care and it’s neat to see how things advance my Mom says.
I love watching science live!
Awesome!
How much of charge do you need for the neutrons and electrons to produce infrared light?
From Google:
You don’t need a specific amount of charge, but rather the movement and energy changes of charged particles (electrons) within atoms or molecules, often excited by heat or other radiation, causing them to emit specific-energy photons (like infrared light) as they shift energy levels; neutrons have no charge and don’t directly cause this type of atomic IR emission, but charged particles within stars (like neutron stars) accelerated by immense fields produce broad radiation.
P.S. It was no trouble at all. Happy Wednesday, Avery!
I love watching science live.
I liked this science live today, R-51 is funny.
Congrats on being accepted into UNG!!! I also live in Georgia!
Science Live is so interesting!
I love science live and I like how they don’t only do science but they also do like history and others❤️
How do DVD players read the movie disc?
I love the way they take time to teach us. Amazing!!
I like learning about how things are invented.
I like learning about how things are invented.
How many months did it take to invent the hydrogen car.
How did they test to prove radio waves were real?
I had so much fun watching this week’s Science Live with R-51!
The thing about LEDs was sooo cool.
Thank you! From California 🙂
What are the different types of radiation?
Learning about radio waves through the little aluminum balls was a great lesson
I liked that this science live was also kind of like a history lesson!
Thanks for another great episode!! Happy Holidays, Acellus!!!
Never would have thought that mould could potentially be used to protect against radiation
I love R-51!!!!!!!
I love when r-51 says he invents everything and big r says he doesnt its so funny i dont know what we’ll learn about next sience live but i can’t wait
I really enjoy the way they go into detail and describe what they are talking about each week.
learning about science and history is really cool
Dr. John is the best.
I’m really glad that Maxwell created radio waves!
I love watching Science Live and R 51 is awesome!!!
💜💜💜😄
I never thought about LED lights starting as red because it was the easiest color to make.
I liked learning about LED lights! Awesome lesson!
This video was SO cool! I love science live ❤️
R 51 is an awesome addition to Science Live! I really like watching the science experiments that take place.
I tried the experiment my self at home and it was not only awesome, but I wowed everyone in my family.
I love Acellus and science live!! Always learning something new!!
Science live is so fun to watch every week!
Very interesting, I enjoyed the experiments.
Science live is always so interesting.
I love Acellus!
If that thin’ is goin’ to the store, I’m savin’ up my credits!
Though, i’m tryin’ to save up for the Letterman Jacket.
I’m nearly through with the 8th grade, been here since the 6th grade.
I’m only 12, thanks to Acellus, I’m on track to graduate at early 17!
I’m going to enlist in the U.S Air force, hopefully to be a AMSS, Aerospace Medical Service Specialist.
If not the U.S.A.F Enlist, then the Marines, to be a Dog Handler!
Thank you soooo much Acellus!
I really enjoyed the demonstration! I also am very very excited for the acellus store to get the coherer kit!!!!!❤️🥳
