  2. Re:Do a small scale pilot first by Richard+Kirk · · Score: 1 · on Massive Solar Updraft Towers Planned For Arizona

    A smaller scale device was built in Spain in the 1980's: see http://sciencehack.com/videos/view/XCGVTYtJEFk for a video. However, these plants get more energy efficient the bigger they get, so a small one is not that interesting.

  3. monkey thoughts by dominious · · Score: 4, Informative · on Monkey's Thoughts Make Robot Walk

    i was looking at this today: http://sciencehack.com/videos/view/TK1WBA9Xl3c
    watch after 0:44, the monkey learnt how to control the robotic arm with its thoughts in order to feed itself:)

  4. ScienceHack by DigitalCrackPipe · · Score: 1 · on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation

    I guess nobody remembers ScienceHack. I'm not sure how successful it is yet(or how accurate), but the idea is interesting - an independent (and hopefully qualified) screening system for informational videos on the web. So, if you're looking for good information you don't have to wade through as much crap.

  5. Darn tootin' by DynaSoar · · Score: 1 · on YouTube for Science?

    It's most definitely a good idea.

    I wonder of they got the good idea from http://sciencehack.com/

    Oh well, the more the merrier. Perhaps the new one will have videos from talks given. Not the nifty graphics oriented demonstration-type stuff, but that kind of stuff has been accumulating and not being used.

    Pistol shrimp are about as close as you'll get to laser wielding sea creatures. Video here

  7. Does science hack endorse the aircar by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Science Videos Search Engine

    Science hack has a video about a car that runs on compressed air. http://sciencehack.com/videos/category/13. Some people say that the companies' claims defy the laws of physics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_car#Criticism

  8. Dr Quantum by dominious · · Score: 1 · on Science Videos Search Engine

    What makes ScienceHack unique is that every video is screened by a scientist or an engineer to verify the video's accuracy and quality. Like Dr Quantum: quantum physics
  9. Something seems wrong by laejoh · · Score: 2, Funny · on Science Videos Search Engine

    I search for "paris hilton" and got:

    Size Comparison of Various Celestial Bodies

    First of all, she doesn't have a Celestial Body. My girlfriend has, Hilton has not!

    Second; size? What size???

    What's going on?

  10. Peer review? by Christianson · · Score: 4, Informative · on Science Videos Search Engine
    There's nothing on the site, as far as I can see, that gives any details about how they select the scientists who are going to moderate the videos. The closest I can find is their blog, which suggests that their criterion, however, they find them, is just that they be at least a current undergraduate student in a science-related discipline.

    Given that Sciencehack is only really aiming to be a Youtube for science, maybe this doesn't really mean very much. Still, a little more openness about the process would have been encouraging.
