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
p.s. pbs once aired a television show by the name of "texas ranch house." this show and other's like it were based on the original "victorian house???." "frontier house" was the best. back to my original thought, wasn't the guy in this vid one of the cowhands from "texas ranch house."???
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.

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...

On a geekier side, the flame oscilloscope was invented way back in 1862: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenig%27s_manometric_flame_apparatus
