Info

Standing waves from pressure differences in the tube are visible as small fire pillars. Should be done with technician supervision.

Setup Instructions

1. Gloves, over time and exposure to air, will become stiff, break, or have holes- all of which you don't want.

2. Cut up nitrile gloves and secure to the ends with duct tape, making sure to keep a good amount of clearance between the tape and the holes where flames will be coming out (burnt tape doesn't smell good).

3. Make sure the tube is in place up against the speaker, and then turn the gas on. The tube can be ignited with a torch.

4. When it comes time to turn it off, tap the free nitrile glove hard enough to blow all of the flames out, then turn off the gas!
