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.

Fascinating Science Live today!
Hello from Idaho
Hi everyone
I can really see how much Tobias really loves camera techniques and the film industry when ever he talks about it! Film and animation has the best overlap of artists and tech people, and it’s a very inivative space to be a part of. I knew technically knew what hard water was at the beginning of watching this episode, but now I have a deeper understanding of what it really is and what’s inside of it. PSA to anyone reading this, if you have water that is filtered by reverse osmosis, make sure that you are getting some kind of Floride, either by toothpaste or by suppliments, because it’s very healthy for your teeth and reverse osmosis can take out the helpful Floride as well as all the mineral residue Dr. Billings showed us.
Hi from Nevada
Thank you for the videos!
Good topic today
Fire live 🔥
R-51 causing chaos as always lol.

Oh no! who is gonna clean up after R51? That was really funny! The real experiment that Dr B did was interesting. I did not know there was salts in the drinking water.

Cleaning the blue water sounds interesting! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I’ve always wondered about the tap water thing!!
I always kind of wondered why the tap water was somewhat unsafe, thanks for explaining it for me!
So I guess tap water isn’t “pure” after all.
Cool live!
Hello Nice Live!!!!!
I just drink tap water
Hi from Houston, TX
I’m looking forward to Mr. Edmond’s future classes! He does such a good job of making the videos entertaining and understandable. I’m especially excited for the conspiracy theories course!!!
hi from SC!
Cleaning the blue water is important for protecting marine life and keeping oceans, rivers, and lakes healthy. People can help by reducing plastic waste, recycling, and properly disposing of trash instead of throwing it into waterways.
hi from Mississippi!!!!
This was so interesting to watch and learn about!!!

I love Science Live so mutch!
This experiment could make people healthy just by drinking water.
Loved the water experiment!
I love how we can clean water like this. I wound uf we can clean other liquids that are super cold and hot.
fire science live as always!
We can all make a differenceon this issue.
Great video!!
Another great week
Yay! I didn’t like break of it last summer.
Those camera’s are really cool!

Hello from North Carolina.
How many chemicals are in tap vs fresh?
I love science life I love watching it every week and I hope you do more. Thank you.
Im a major tap water drinker, but i also drink purified water.
Dr. Roger made a device that can clean dirty water, making clean and refreshing water.
I love science live
Thank you
So cool!
Why are the protajes not in this episode, they haven’t been in a while😭😭😭
When does Science Live stop being required for people on the Roger Billings scholarship?
Also, when does it start being required again after the summer?
I’m just curious because while I may work over the summer, I’m probably not going to tune into every single episode over the summer since it’s not necessarily required.
i think this was tge best one yet
Good video!
I liked the tap water part
Love the lesson Dr.Billings!
Nice science live.
Hi from Washington!
