Musical Fire Table!
Description
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 patterns 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 theref...
