Science: Massive 2D Rubens Tube Of Over 2500 Holes Driven By Sound and Music

From the site:

Rubens’ Tube is an awesome demo and here we take it to the next level with a two-dimensional ‘Pyro Board’. This shows unique standing wave patters of sound in the box.

The pressure variations due to the sound waves affect the flow rate of flammable gas from the holes in the Pyro Board and therefore affect the height and colour of flames. This is interesting for visualizing standing wave patterns and simply awesome to watch when put to music. Thank you to Sune Nielsen and everyone at Aarhus for sharing this demonstration with me! And thanks for having me at your conference.

Music by Kevin MacLeod, www.Incompetech.com “Ice Flow”

 

Pretty sweet!

    I’m sure that this has been pointed out before. In your diagram you have
    the points where the flames are highest labelled as anti-nodes. These are
    the locations where the gas in the tube has a constant pressure and
    therefore they give the location of the nodes. The anti-nodes are where
    the flames are smallest.

    Cracking video otherwise.

    Bet certain nightclubs would pay a lot of money for a centerpiece like
    this…

  13. Nick Benik

    Fire and cool music demonstrating wave patterns… perhaps not but very
    cool none the less.

  20. Amy Ross-Bottom

    If you are smiling through this, then …
    You are a nerd like me (((

  21. Klaus Riede

    I wonder if you can generate Lissajous figures with this beautiful device

  22. Ryan H.

    Who thought their phone was vibrating at 1:21?

  23. frinnahful

    I wonder what it would be like with some music by Bach.

  24. Alexander Garner-Henry

    +Tom Foxx you should really check this out, I think you and Valrejn would
    love it.

  34. celtics10206

    would the room have a strong odor? i assume so, because of the large amount
    of flammable gas your using?

  35. Nadiva Hartono

    This is AWESOME!!!!!!

  36. Jev Weazle

    if you want to learn something cool, and then enjoy music and fire, watch
    it from the beginning

  37. Alex Friday

    sick instrumental +fire = me having an ear/eye-gasm at 6:30 in the morining

  38. BananaSlayer64

    I wonder what would happen if you put something like Knife Party on it, it
    would probably burn the whole building down xD

  39. musikrank 87

    i wonder how the fire goes when they play some metal music… 😀

  46. ThatOneGuyNamed Jalapapeno

    This is what makes me think that I’ve learned more about science from
    watching YouTube videos than from actual science class.
