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.
