Learning about how drones work is so interesting! Great job!
I love drones, they are interesting and amazing! They can do so much, and they will be even better in the future. It’s sad about Tobias drone,
I would be very upset if I had lost my drone. Thank so much Acellus for making such a cool episode!
I love the science behind the drones you shared, I thought it was really fascinating.
Someone should tell R51 that his hat is NOT going to make him fly!!!
who invented the first drone?
This is a very fun way to learn about drones.
oopsie, I hope this counts as a comment because I forgot to watch the video the other week, and I’m trying to get the scholarship… anyways. As a kid we had a few little drones! They were fun. We had a super tiny one, too, that could fit in your palm.
I vote for 1! the area 51 guy is my favorite!
Who decided to add cameras to the drones?
What will future drones look like?
i love drone’s.
Wow! Drones fascinate me so much and this video increased that fascination by like 150%!! Thanks Acellus!
drones are so cool!!!!
are there any predicaments with future developments of drones
Cool
How do magnets turn electricity into power?
How do satellites connect to things on Earth?
Drones are very fascinating. I find it super cool that you can do so much with them.
It was so astonishing to learn about the GPS and its’ purpose.
It was very interesting!
I think remote control drones are really cool!
Wonder what the green drone is? Also, more of the corollas effect? Maybe spelling it wrong.
if all electrons have a left hand spin then its a magnet. that’s cool
Wow! Drones are actually really cool! I think if i tried to fly one it would crash! 😂
I love this! Thanks!
Drones Are Really Cool I Would be bad at driving it though
i find drones very cool and i really like drones
R 51 was so funny and we had a drone too.
I enjoyed learning how drones fly. My grandfather has one and I have tried to fly it, which is very difficult.
I really enjoyed learning about drones.
Why are there regulations on the neodymium magnets?
I had a drone before and now I know why it was able to get lost after going so high after this episode.
how far can a drone go from the remote with out it not being able to function
WOW! This is so cool, funny and interesting!
Its cool to see how drones work but do you think that in the near future drones would be the main transport or delivery?
I love how it explains everythimg
I didn’t know that drones have cameras to see where they are going.
Memorization is key in learning!!
drones are cool i like drones
I loved this video and learning about drones!
Has anyone noticed that Malachi said “I need to learn some Italian” in the episode on perpetual motion machines, and that he has a book on learning Italian on his desk in this episode?
Just a fun thought 🙂
Dr. John will forever be my favorite Stem teacher! I love the Technology Spotlight that he does!
Very interesting! drones are honestly rather cool.
What a funny episode!
Loved the video!! Drones are cooler then I thought.
r-51 is very fun
So cool!! I loved learning about drones!
how long would a drone fly in a hour
This is great
How was the first magnet discovered.
that is so cool that it uses magnets
Why can’t we attach solar panels to drones?
i am so excited for the next episode.it was funny too.
Drones are such cool inventions, and I enjoy hearing from experts about them! 😉
How do drone shows work with multiple drones?
How do you control multiple drones at once ?
I think it’s so cool that if gravity were to increase even by a little bit, we wouldn’t be able to fly the way we do. It’s so interesting to think about how the gravity on our earth allows us to walk and fly.
How much weight can a drone carry? Also, who came up with the idea of putting two propellers across from each other, going clockwise, and vis versa? I also had no idea that electrons were magnets… I feel like I should have realized that by now! Haha!
This was very interesting and very very educational. Thank you!
This is very interesting to me because I’m going into drone piloting for the military .
My big brother and my dad both got drones at Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach.
Can playing video games or simulator games make you better with piloting drones?
You can do so many things with drones, they have so many purposes, I love that about drones.
My sister has a drone with a camera on it and I love to fly it.
that was cool I love the way that you added drones in it to make it more intreging
This is so cool.
drones are so cool!
My dad has a drone for his construction company and he films the progress.
He has let me fly it a few times.
drones are amazing nice live
I got a tiny drone that you can fly in the house for my 12th birthday two years ago. But on my first flight the drone went in the kitchen, hit the wall and
fell in my sink full of water! Lets just say its flying days were over! 😑 (I bought a new one)
I just now noticed that Ryan was right, Malachi does have a book about learning Italian on his desk. I also like Malachi’s message LOL!
I Like drones
Yeah one time I saw a drone i was very happy 🤗
If a drone was able to support a solar panel, do you believe that we can use drones to collect our solar power for small appliances like a microwave, and other small electrical appliances?
Just an interesting thought.🤔
So cool
I want a drone for Christmas
OMG ONE OF THOSE ARE THE SAME DRONE I HAVE AT HOME MINE IS THE WHITE LED LIGHTS ONE
so Cool! i love learning about drones!
wow, that is so cool!!
I wish I could go on the Acellus show
My friend Garret has a drone business its cool He just bought this drone that is as big as me. It has thermal vision and night vision and can fly as high as commercial airplanes, He said he was gonna use it for the police to do a night watch in Branson west. Drones are pretty cool though, oh yeah He also has this one that you have to use a VR camera and joystick, its really fun. Drones are definitely the future! Its also crazy to think they said drones would be a 42 billion dollar business next year.
I still can’t believe R-51 is alive, all his experiments have gone either over the table or just didn’t work. Lets just hope his next one doesn’t blow up his laboratory.
I love the idea that you can make drones with cameras .so cool 😎
Drones are so much fun but I Like science too
I enjoyed learning about drones.
I loved learning more about drones. I have one that I don’t play with much.
DR.B IS my favorite
My mom has photographer friends that use drones for their photography businesses
I love drones drones are cool and awsome
I love drones they are cool
Nice stuff man. Speaking of drones I can make my drone carry a Lego car 🚗, like in the military helicopters can carry military vehicles. So cool 😎 right.
It’s cool to see how drones are now being used for different things apart from taking videos.
I love playing with drones.
My drones always get stuck in trees.
Drones are very helpful with lots of diff Jobs.
nice i love drones
I love learning about drones their cool :>
I love drones!
could someone build a drone as big as a car that can run on gas?
Drones are super cool! I used to have one, but it broke…
that was cool
drones are incredible, i love how humans use their knowledge to create amazing things like drones!!
r-51 seems so cool!
I use drones when I have trouble finding my deer that I can’t track. Only when we can’t find them we will break out the drones.
Ny grand dad told me that Our Military has drones to hunt people down. Which I believe would save the lives of thousands of people if ever we were in a war situation.
Drones are so cool I want to get one with the camera this was so interesting
Really cool science live I love tuning into them.
This video was wonderful! Drones are so fascinating. I wonder what they will look like in the future and if they will be able to carry more weight in the future.
As a 10th grade student taking the Business Math course, I found that lesson 9, which was teaching me about Federal Income Taxes, was a difficult subject for me. I was tempted to give up, guess, ask for help, etc, but instead, and persevered through. This video helped me, and provided insight into my problem, and I ended up passing with a wonderful grade.
I vote for Eric 1#
