I learned that on airplanes there is a protection layer for if lightning strikes it.
The inventions our generation makes will have a big impact on the future.
I never really gave it much thought on how people came up with inventions until this episode
I loved this episode! My favorite part was the technology spotlight by Dr John. They gather static lightning by flying a drone 1000 feet into the air and then capturing the electricity using a wire.
Wow I will definitely try this!!
So cool, wow!
I love science and i want to change the world with science and cure people and help poor people and when I learn or learn something new i know i can do anything i put my mind to.
