Cleaning the Blue Water
In this episode of Science Live, Dr. Roger Billings explores laboratory science with a distillation experiment that purifies dirty water into crystal-clear pure water right before your eyes. Dr. Billings then uses an X-ray analyzer to reveal the minerals and salts hidden in ordinary tap water.
The episode also takes viewers behind the scenes at Acellus Studios, showcasing the Hollywood-grade equipment used to create cinematic Acellus courses — including professional Blackmagic cameras, advanced lighting and color grading with DaVinci Resolve, green screen technology, gimbal rigs, and a 360° camera for smooth on-location filming.

hi kamilah from Texas
So excited
Great episode!
Cool episode! I’ve always wondered how that works! hi from Sourth Carolina
This was an awesome episode; I thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved listening to Dr. Tobias and learning about how filming works and how much comes along with making a high quality video or film!
Very cool that the blue food coloring stays in the beaker
It was cool to see the distillation process with the blue water. Thanks for showing us the process.
I’m really hoping this is why tap water tastes different than other water. I know all water is water, but it seems like every type I have always has a different taste than the last. It’s odd, and some of my friends swear that there is no difference between any of them, but this would be solid evidence supporting my claim.
that is soooooooooooooo coooooooooooooooool
I enjoyed this live I think the importance of clean water is very important.
I learned so much! Thank you!
Learning the process of making the lives was so cool! I didn’t realize all the stuff you guys did for them
It is amazing how smart people are to make cool things!!!
It’s amazing how color theory works and that camera is just wow!
Great job with the water experiment!
It’s really cool to see all the effort that goes on behind the scenes and how much you care about us! Thank you for your effort and hard work.
R-51 is so funny. Hi from Mongolia.
i love r51.
I love r51 he is the best
Hello from New Mexico, and thanks for continuing to have science live throughout this summer!
science live always makes me happy
I really appreciate you getting in the lab and showing the experiment – not just R51, but the real stuff. My little brother likes watching too. Also, I agree making the water blue was a better choice than yellow, ha.
