Hi Jonah,
A decent set of instructions is here:

We have a similar setup that uses tiny Styrofoam balls in an enclosed glass tube, and the Exploratorium had one which used mineral oil. But fire is way cooler, obviously. I bet this would be a favorite at Burning Man.

I'm looking into some demos on sound, and unsurprisingly was intrigued
by the Ruben's Tube, a contraption hat displays sound waves using fire,
as seen in this video:

A quick google check reveals many similar videos, but little info. Does
anyone have any schematics for building one, tips for usage/safety/how
it works? We're hoping to build a version portable enough for outreach.

Thanks.
