- votingprawn, on 05/31/2009, -0/+7Did you read the article? What they've built is nothing like a Reuben's Tube, apart from the use of fire.
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -0/+6There's a link to a video. But it's even less impressive than the article if that's possible.
- MackPaddy, on 05/31/2009, -1/+6Some guy did this exact same thing for a science fair project back when I was in high school. (Over 10 years ago). It was cool then... for a science fair project. What's the big deal?
- Arjin, on 05/31/2009, -0/+5I see you're a quite thorough reader.
- gazboo, on 05/31/2009, -1/+6A reubens tube rigged up properly could work pretty much the same, just without the "precision control."
It would still "dance" and you could still use it as a fireplace. It may aesthetically look worse, but even so, that can be fixed.
That thing is not worth 15,000. - pcventures, on 05/31/2009, -3/+8
It's called a Reuben's Tube..

I built one with a buddy back in HS... all it takes (if you have a guitar / bass amp lying around) is some pvc and some natural gas. This doesn't impressed me in the least.
