  1. Fire waves

    Have you ever wondered what sounds waves look like? Here we see sound waves in the flames! This is an AP Physics 1 experiment with a device called a Ruben's...

  2. The Rubens' Flame Tube: Seeing Sound Through Fire

    A speaker pumps sound waves into a long pipe, which for particular frequencies creates standing waves (resonance). Propane gas is pumped into the pipe, and l...

  3. The Rubens' Tube: Soundwaves in Fire!

    The first image shows the typical way a sound wave, or just about any wave, is portrayed visually. Because sound is basically a vibration created by changes in air pressure, the peaks on the waveform correspond to the highest pressure and the troughs correspond to the lowest pressure. The wavelength is measured by the distance between two peaks ...

  4. Rubens' Tube

    Ingredients. Rubens' tube was invented by Henrich Rubens in 1904, it consists of a large diameter (normally metal tube) with a series of holes drilled in the top. A loudspeaker is attached to one end, and a flammable gas supply to the other, and the gas coming out of the holes is lit. I saw this demonstrated by Bryson Gore (of Christmas Lecture ...

  5. Rubens tube

    A Rubens tube setup. A Rubens tube, also known as a standing wave flame tube, or simply flame tube, is a physics apparatus for demonstrating acoustic standing waves in a tube. Invented by German physicist Heinrich Rubens in 1905, it graphically shows the relationship between sound waves and sound pressure, as a primitive oscilloscope.Today, it is used only occasionally, typically as a ...

  6. Rubens' Tube

    Rubens' Tube. The Rubens' tube, also known as the standing wave flame tube, or simply flame tube, is a physics experiment demonstrating a standing wave. It shows the relationship between sound waves and sound pressure. A length of pipe is perforated along the top and sealed at both ends - one seal is attached to a small speaker or frequency ...

  7. Watch Trumpet Ignite Flames in Classic 'Rubens Tube' Experiment

    The physics experiment was created by German physicist Heinrich Rubens in 1905. The setup involves a piece of pipe that has holes drilled along its top and is sealed on either end. One end is a propane tank (or other supply of flammable gas) and the other is the source of the sound. The pipe is then lit and a standing flame appears.

  8. Sound + Fire = Rubens' Tube

    Sound waves in a tube of gas create flames of different heights that dance to the music. A metal tube with holes in it is filled with gas. The gas is lit to ...

  9. Ruben's Tube: History, Explanation & Applications

    The Ruben's tube is a classic physics apparatus to show that sound waves are primarily pressure waves. It can be considered to be an older version of the oscilloscope and gives a visual demonstration of standing waves with the help of flames. History and Original Composition The Ruben's tube was invented in 1905, by a […]

  10. Chemistry Experiments with the Flame Tube

    A Flame Tube, also known as a Ruben's Tube, is a classic physics experiment that provides a spectacular visual demonstration of sound waves. 1 To make a Ruben's Tube, a bunch of tiny holes are drilled in a line about 1 cm apart along one side of a steel pipe (Figure 1). A flexible membrane is stretched over one end of the pipe, while the ...

  11. Ruben's Tube

    Here's a really neat way to see sound waves… With fire! I think if I ever make a fireplace, it'll have something like this. Twinrawk writes - "The classic physics experiment involving sound, a tube of propane and fire. Created for Flash Forward 2006, but useful in any case where you are not allowed to have fire.

  12. Ruben's Tube and the Science of Dancing Fire

    When observing the Rubens tube, you will see two sets of behaviors. The first is when the sound waves traveling through the tube are quiet. The quiet sound waves will have relatively low-pressure differences than the gas flowing through the tube. When the pressure decreases, the flow will also be reduced, thus providing shorter flames.

  13. Student Invent Sound Wave Fire Extinguisher

    It's an ingenious invention that looks simple but is actually quite complicated. The wave extinguisher generates sound from a typical stereo speaker and amplifies that sound through something called a columnator—basically, a funnel that shoots sound waves at the fire. "The columnator," says Seth, "is able to direct the sound to ...

    transverse waves (in solids). The sound waves are generated by a sound source, like waver diaphragms of a speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding area. As the source continues to vibrate the area, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.

  16. PDF Study of Acoustic Waves for Fire Extinguishment: A Review

    Effect of Sound Waves on Fire- The idea of fire being affected by sound waves was discovered as early as in 1858 by the American scientist, John LeConte. In 1900, a German physicist, Heinrich Rubens demonstrated the effect of sound waves on fire through his experiment known as the Ruben's Tube.

    Dousing flames with low-frequency sound waves. 02 Apr 2015. Fire-busters: Robertson and Tran drown out a blaze. A new type of extinguisher that uses sound waves to put out fires has been built by two engineering students in the US. Both chemical- and water-free, the invention offers a relatively non-destructive method of fire control, which ...
