SciVee: Youtube for Science

I was just reading in a NewScientist article about this new website called SciVee.tv or SciTube.tv. It's incredible.
We've all seen those 3 second flakey animations on science sites attempting to illustrate some aspect of the science. Now there is a website dedicated to videos of the actual experiments!
There is also a heck of a lot of information included with some of the videos. Take this one as an example Order in Spontaneous Behavior
As a footnote, by default it's difficult to see the video, in the toolbar at the bottom of the abstract is a button labelled "hide paper" this will hide the abstract and enlarge the video.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

Although..this guys has some good youtube vids that are actually useful. http://www.youtube.com/user/HouseholdHacker
Cool. I'm the same. A lot of the stuff on here is over my head, but there are some things which I think people in general will find interesting, particularly Dr. Carlson's Science Theatre. It could be a useful tool for anyone here studying a field of science too.
This guy is a joker. His "power a TV with a AAA battery" is complete nonsense.
You would would lose half the voltage of the AAA battery just forward biasing the diodes of the full wave rectifier in the power supply stage (0.7v). The IC's on the circuit board after the power supply need at least 5 volts DC themselves.
That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. Not to mention it's DC v.s. AC voltage.
very bizarre individual

over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Yeah I'm not sure about the science behind any of it but based on the replies by youtube users there are more than a few who claim it has worked for them. But I guess that doesn't mean much. Could be the poster of the vid and friends.
I am wondering if his speaker that he made from a paper plate and tin foil works or not.
I just did some looking around and I think everything he talks about is fake. It's all a joke or something, but he makes it look real. I was fooled there for a bit.
I think it's a parody thing. Surprising that so many people comment saying the things actually work.

I'm not gullible either. Now I'm kinda pissed.
well, shit all the more reason to thank ahnimus for the scivee, so things like don't happen :P
You might be able to derive some neat party tricks from his vids.
