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!

    Hey Derek, if you get the chance, come critique some of my videos. I’ve got
    (what I think is) some great content, but I’m always looking to improve.
    Your insight would be priceless! 🙂

    What track for medium rare?

  9. Vec's WoW Videos

    This would be awesome in a nightclub

    Amazing visuals – this is the sort of think they should teach in school –
    all of a sudden standing waves become fascinating and thought provoking
    instead of deathly dull!

    It looks as though the hole pitch is roughly 1cm but I cannot work out what
    diameter you selected for the holes. I am guessing around 3mm but would
    appreciate knowing the correct size so I can have a go at making one
    without having to buy multiple sheets of perforated steel to see which ones
    work!

    Kind Regards
    Mark

    The best music visualizer ever!

    I hope i don’t read in newspaper some day:
    ” Two guys trying to be smart get burned cuz of a gas explosion ” O.o !!

  13. Felix Dance

    “Shut up and take my money!” I want one of those!

  17. GeorgeTheWild

    This is incredibly dangerous and stupid to do in an enclosed space with no
    ventilation to remove the CO and CO2.

  18. Gifs Daily

    Lel. Ice Flow is the name of the song. Its the exact opposite of what
    theyre doin.!

  19. ehsnils

    Rammstein would love this device.

  25. BIGDUB JAYONE

    These beats are fire! Badass video!
    #science #physics

  26. Bill Kraft

    Nothing as fun a playing with fire.

  27. TheSetkon

    I wonder what it would look like if there were more of these used for one
    song but each was wired to a certain element. One for the beats,… And you
    could manipulate with it like and eqaliser making awesome light shows. It
    would take different gasses, different colours of the flames… Someone
    with me?

  28. Keyla Hedrick

    Hmmmm be cool for a show

  29. Charlie Williams

    What I love so much about this is that the fire isn’t only a visual thing
    you can hear the flames in between the beats as it goes up and down and it
    adds a whole new kind of sound to the music that naturally comes from the
    visualized music.

  30. DeLambada

    Awesome! Have you ever thought of combinung it with the technology used to
    create sound in a defined space by overlapping ultrasonic waves (as they
    are developing in the automotive industry to send different sounds to
    different passengers). Maybe then you could increase the “resolution” and
    acutally create images. Wouldn’t that be cool?

  31. MDFlight

    you will be boss of every party with this thing in ur house…

  32. Irfan Khiari

    its same like when we pour some water on the top of a speaker right? the
    difference is just water and fire.

  42. TheGameLecturer

    Awsome visualizer for media player !

  43. Albert Polák

    Let’s take it one more step further and make a rubens tube cube (like that
    name :-D).

  44. Dan Fan

    Stick your dick in it.

  45. virtualwop

    throw some burgers on that bitch

  46. kokjong son

  47. Jared Defibaugh

    I say Egon and Ray had something with their slime now… Before fun ideas.
    But now? Nice! Brilliant!

  48. basilisc11

    Where can I buy this / how can I build my own?

  49. Даниил Потёмка

    I know what i may do at next my holidays…
