A propane torch inside the end of a tube can make it oscillate.
See also my website at http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com for more interesting experiments and details.

It is interesting to note that in the case of the copper tube, it only oscillates when the torch tip is relatively cool. Oscillations are not produced after the metal tip of the torch has heated up.

  • Interesting. I note that the pipes are horizontal - what happens if they are tilted?

  • cool, and it reminds me of when i was living in a van, down by the river!

  • Watching your videos makes me miss living out on the country , where  I had a garage with workbench etc.

    Now I`m all urbanised , and living in a block of flats. Limited to tinkering with soldering and electronics. :(
