Sound Reactive Flame Tube! (Rubens Tube)

We are going to create a Flame Tube and run it through a series of quick tests to show how sound can affect fire!

The Flame Tube (Ruben's Tube) is a classic physics experiment where sound literally affects the size of the flames. As gas is fed into a perforated tube, any sound played through the tube will cause the gas pressure to change resulting in an interesting visual effect.

Something tells me that, if you were to play Motorhead through that speaker, it'd just be a full blown campfire going on there.
