Physics can be fun if you don't have to take a test. The scientific principles behind the Rubens' Tube (showing standing waves) involved in this demonstration are explained at Wikipedia, but are more dramatically illustrated in the video.- via dilidoo
15 years ago I play heavy metal in a basement, and when the drummer (Francisco Dramis) hit his snare drum the flames on a kerosene heater go wild and rise so much. Are the same Principles? Hace 15 años tocaba Heavy Metal en un sotano y cuando el baterista golpeaba su tambor las llamas de una estufa a querosen se enloquecian y elevaban mucho... Es por los mismos principios? Sorry for my english...
Discovered this about 20 years ago. I found that the proper pure feedback tone from my guitar could extinguish the kerosene heater I had lit on the other side of the living room.
It was quite the parlor trick to perform for visiting friends who hadn't seen it before.
On a geekier side, the flame oscilloscope was invented way back in 1862: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenig%27s_manometric_flame_apparatus
