Sound + Fire = Rubens' Tube
Вставка

- 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 create a row of tiny flames. A speaker at one end plays sound into the tube, which creates a standing wave of sound: areas where air molecules are vibrating rapidly separated by areas where the air is fairly still. This produces the different heights of flames and allows the wavelength of the sound wave to be estimated.
guess you can say that mix tape was fire
+Naithan Pangan omg why.... xD
+Naithan Pangan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Tiasu! You mean
Tiasu's song/album, right?
The one named
Fire?
+Justin Elliott umm...
*:
Fire
(without the question mark, just to clearify.)
IT WAS LIT
That music was "lit".
Justin Arro XD
And... I'm off the watch The Fifth Element
Imagine playing Dubstep on this.
I was gonna say that...
+Tricia Stark check out vid of the Pyro Board, they do dubstep on that!
+DJ Quazzy Evil can you give me the link?
rip your house if you played dubstep
Lit🔥
Imagine cavemen like lining up their torches in a row and then start singing....prehistoric audio visualizer.
Doesn't really work that way lol.
Dilip Tien Kinda a joke....
The Rubens' Tube was my first introduction to just how amazing physics really is. I saw a different video of one about five years ago, and I asked a professor at my school if we could build one. We did, and I have been hooked on physics ever since. Now I will start my physics PhD in the fall. If feels good to look back on my original inspiration. Thank you so much for the great videos, Derek! And thank you for inspiring others to think about physics.
Hey vsauce michael here
you beat me
grandayy
Lol beat me to it
Where are your fingers?
Boom Kill shhh
If you look really closely ,
You can see that it's not acctualy him singing
+Richard BNmedia *facepalm*
Of course not: the sound of the orchestra is coming out of his mouth when the other is taking the sound of a voice out of the air by flapping hands.
Should I woooosh you?
strat r/wooosh
NO I Look Really Far Like 10 KM
IM NORMAL PERSON AND I CHOOSE METRIC!
i need this with death metal...
internet get on that
Discoknight Don't reply to yourself, it make you look like a noob.
@mrhashbrowns the effect is something called a standing wave - where the traveling waves are bouncing back and forth in the tube and creating a consistent pattern.
why is that veritasium guy acting as if he had no idea of anything ? :o
I assume to give a viewer who doesn't know someone to relate to?
M Tenik so he can ask questions explaining it
@@Scerttle dont have to play dumb to do that, simply ask questions
Mat Loyal he is
it is both a longitudinal wave and a standing wave. A standing wave just means there is a forward-going (compression) wave and a backward-going (compression) wave to produce points of maximum wave amplitude (anti-nodes) and points of no wave amplitude (nodes).
"All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You better run, better run, outrun my gun"
Now that is SO COOL. I've always wondered how to visually represent longditudinal pressure standing waves! Wow, that sounded geeky! But very true ... Not sure if I should admit that ...
I made one of these for my high school Physics class. I used sin waves to test it and calculated a reasonably accurate speed of sound. It was really cool.
That was amazing demonstration of sound waves in air!
Best way to demonstrate standing wave ever!
One word. Dubstep.
Now to just put on some dubstep and DROP. THE. BASS
Lauren Berry No.
+Jerry Mores it would be amusing at very high volume--maxxed out, actually--so the fire better displays the sounds being played.
You can always mute/min your speakers/sound mixer/in-line volume control/UA-cam video/browser if you want, and just watch the fire.
Alternatively, play the Monster Cat Twitch stream into it at high volume, for science--or just plain fun, but other people would want to see that too!
Mixed compressions traveling through a tube with small holes with burning gas = Awesome priceless visual equalizer.
This is beautiful. Thank you!
3:17 if you look closely you can see that's not him singing
Really?! I didnt catch that
You're hilarious. Real comedic. I'm serious. That was funny.
Plot twist: He was actually singing the song but he was so good at singing it that it appeared as if he was not singing the song correctly.
Imagine this in raves to look like a sound visualizer omg xD
this is just beautiful and out right ingenious
they sing so beautifully!
Other than pesky OH&S considerations, I don't understand why bands don't use them in stage shows - putting instruments through Ruben's Tube is fantastic!
when they were lip syncing I couldn't watch the flames out of laughter
Fantastic video, thank you!
this was uploaded in my b-day!!!
This is ironic because thats exactly what the wave visualizer looks like in media players
WarpPal what makes it ironic?
Luunn
If you've ever seen the visualizer on any Media Player, thats what some of them look like
WarpPal
yes, but that isn't irony..
WarpPal thats not irony at all
Halloween137 It is ironic because is looks almost exactly the same
That eye contact. otp
That was some amazing singing!
This was so Great! The addition of Mozart's Queen of the night at the end made this video. Couldn't have picked a better song to show this thing off
I'M WEARING HEADPHONEZZZ
I AM GONNA DIEEEE
MoonDragon I'm hearing headphones and I'm fine, I guess you're using your headphones with the sound too high.
Who's here from grandayy?
my physics teacher did this last year and he played dubstep on it. possibly the coolest experiment with soundwaves in physics. this is why i love science
This is one of the coolest video I've evere seen in my life...i love this channel :)
is better with dubstep
javier humberto moreno maldonado Expect dubstep isn't better since no one likes broken robot music.
Its my taste not your, but really mean that the effect, for me, is better using dubstep.
javier humberto moreno maldonado ....thanks for thumbing me up anyway.
yw :v
Omg they are so nerdy 😂😂😂
about 60 years of natural gas left and you guys are doing this...love it.. :D
Still 50 years of natural gas left?
You guys are such geeks, love it.
Wow. That sound sure is annoying.
Yeah, and that long tone was bad too.
lame lip sync sucks.
...an alliteration that aspires to avoid the event entirely.
Justin Elliott They say excessive alliteration is a sign of madness... whoever they are
Bloody brilliant!
sound waves compress and spread out the air, so they do affect the air and gas pressure.
The orchestra bit sold it for me.
So badass. Great Video, nice explanation!
music plus fire = AWESOME!!!!!
Great voice!
I want that in my room! at night! with a couple of little love making tunes and the lights out ;)
Woow... beautiful!!
I'd LOVE to see that!!!
coolest experiment I've seen yet
this is amazing!
oh,wow,that's amazing!!!!
i would love to have this in my home as a fireplace
that's right because here they are forming a 'standing wave'
Beautiful
Wow you sing like an angel!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing!!!
I cant believe that both of you guys produce the same voice!
this is youtubeing done right! Loved this one!
BEST. VISUAL EQUALIZER. EVER.
I made this with a friend last year. It is simply awesome!
wow this is so amazing!
Not counting the two dudes that obviously didn't like each other, this was awesome
That... is.... awesome!!!! I need one right this second....
Awesome!
So that is how those equalizer things on the stereo works. They are pumping digital gas thru my stereo! Genius!
Mind Blown !
This. Is. Amazing.
they make a very good orchestra
Thats amazing.
i love these guys! :)
Because, the source of the sound is coming from the left, and traveling to the right, but with the constant tones for example, the exact same wave length is being sent through the tube. Because it is the same each time, it hits the same highs and lows at each point, so that it doesn't appear to move. if you could see other other things, like the vibrations traveling through the tube, instead of the sound waves, you would be able to see them (the vibrations that is) traveling from left to right
My science teacher in 7th grade did this. He played some metal, and it was just plain epic.
Best visualization ever
best visualizer eva!
These are mechanical waves, they spread out through matter, like air, gas, water, etc. as you push the particles together they have a higher pressure, and when you pull them apart they have lower pressure. Waves are just the switching of high and low pressures, when something vibrates it compresses and discompresses air.
THey should show sound waves like this in school - seriously visual and getting people to sing or change the sond and see the results coudl really help - heck it coudl help music lessons. awesome.
this is fascinating
best visualization ever.
I've actually seen one of these live. There's so cool :)
i remember this guy in like the first or second leanback, i subscribed ever since
Ruben's tubes is awesome with dubstep :D
Boston - More than a feeling
I am sure it would be perfect.
Did this in highschool and it was awesome, we had a piano hooked up to it :D
Best video ever!
that would look amazing
this + dubstep = awesome
HOLY SHIT!
Awesome!
The Magic Flute.
How appropriate!
that's FREAKING awesome
that is the most awesomest thing I've ever seen...
awesome ending !!
I was 6 years old when this was uploaded. Tomorrow I will be 19 years old. God damn.
@Nondas51 which one? the one with the high pitched opera is the magic flute "der holle raiche"
BRILLIANT isn't a big enough word for this stuff, not even capitalized. :)
So cool.
that is SO cool!! man! science is brilliant
does anybody else notice how very focus this man is on his fire pipe throughout the video?
this will make a sick music video
