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"

If you're just here for music and fire, skip to 3:38. It's mesmerizing.

Warning: This technology not recommended for headphones!

"Sir how do you like your eggs?" "Sunny side up with a lot of bass."

”Hey my sausage isn’t being grilled...” ”Don’t worry dude, the base drop bouta hit soon”

When ur stove has better sound quality than ur speakers :
-
The fact that the song is called Ice Flow, the irony
-
Imagine cooking a meal on that fire and at a restaurant they ask what type of music do you like your steak?
-
When they said “this song is lit!!” They really meant it.

"The music was fire" "I know" "No. I mean it was literally fire"

I love seeing the music visualised in flames, so beautiful. It's like the fire is dancing to the music, I love it!

Maybe someone's already pointed this out, but the nodes/anti-nodes have nothing to do with the device itself and everything to do with the way the sound waves are bouncing around the room. This is true of any sound in any room except for an anechoic chamber. In an anechoic chamber this wouldn't occur due to there being almost no reflected sound. The volume of each frequency would remain constant.

"Son! The House is on Fire!!!" "No, That's just my SoundCloud."
-
"Don't play with fire kids!" "Can I play music with fire?"

I tried cooking pepper on one of this. It became red hot chilli peppers.

Hooman in -20.000 BC : learns to control fire Also hooman : "Now let's make dubstep with this"
-
“This song is pure fire” takes on a whole new meaning now
-
Now you can tell if your mixtape is lit..

Former Navy bandsman who went on to work at NASA. Find the fundamental resonant pitch of the cavity, then calculate the frequency 1 x (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 thru 16) and you will have the overtone series of 1-1-5-1-3-5-b7-1-2-3-#4-5-6-b7-7-1. Each resonating pitch higher than the fundamental follows this equation regardless of position of fundamental within harmonic spectrum, key being irrelevant. Awesome invention!

U know mad scientist are the best scientists cus they dare to think outside the box and aren't afraid to risk things for results.
