Nice project! =) A old trick to make a hose fit the barb is to put the end of the tube in your mouth and chew on it vigorously until it gets warm. Now the tube will fit the barb. If not chew on it a little more. Cheers. =)
Abraham Rittenhouse hey, thanks for watching. The speaker is simply placed in front of the diaphragm but not touching it. I used an old TV speaker mounted on a wooden block to hold it in place.
Yes, regular balloon, and no, not dangerous. The gas pressure is slightly above ambient, just enough to make the flames small. As for heat, that is the reason the holes start a little in from the end. The pipe will eventually get very hot, but generally will run for over an hour without melting the balloon. If the balloon does come off, the pipe is void of oxygen, so won't explode, just end up with a large flame that is easy to smother with a wet cloth.
I have you tried putting the gas supply the opposite side of the tube? So flames on top and supply on the bottom of the tube? Would this be better or worse? Tried again tonight with mine, certain I need a larger diameter tube for it to work as well as yours does. New ballon really tight, hooked up a regulating valve to control flow and used a house stereo. Tiny bit better but still not good enough.. Gonna get another bigger tube and try again me thinks! :)
Thank you so much! Thought your video was amazing! Best diy I've seen on this. I've been looking FOREVER in how to do the gas setup. Keep up the content!
I have butane gas.... will it work??? and also the speaker can it be directly placed in the tube without the ballon??? also does epoxy will work as glue?
Thanks.. But will the ballon melt with the heat of the butane??? What kind of glue do you advice me to use beside what you used in yours, will soldering work?
+Do You Even Science‽ Thanks... I will definitely use the ballon as you suggested, it could be explosive also can you tell me the dimensions of the holes and the distances of each hole and also the type of glue you used? im doing this as a visualizer for my school project where I'm making a music system box, a.k.a boom box thats why I'm asking you some tips and advices...
Hi, is the amp necessary for the Ruben's tube to work because I don't think I can afford an amp. But perhaps you could send the link for the amp you bought on e-bay?
Including the amplifier, around 75 Australian dollars. A lot of items like speakers and the stand in was later placed on where scrap I had laying around.
Hi, what kind of gas bottle did you use? Because we have a big one for the bbq but my dad's saying I can't use it because it could blow up. Could this actually happen?
+Brenna Hobson, thanks for the comment. The gas from a BBQ will work but will run hotter (Propane). Your dad is correct in saying it 'could' blow up. But it is what I used in the above video, but with a regulator to ensure it was low enough pressure. the direct pressure from a gas bottle would be much too high and could cause issues and a fire. While an explosion is possible, if done correctly there shouldn't much of a risk.
awesome video! noticed you might want to put a pop filter on your mic though. these can be easy to make yourself with some fine nylon mesh and a ring of some kind to suspend in front of your mic.
Hello, great video. I've made my own Rubens tube from your video, not to exact specs. It's working ok but not much sound response...? I didn't know if you could help in finding why? Possibly the tube isn't big enough diameter? I used a ballon cut in half as the end skin. Anyhow here's the link to my video. Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks for your upload, great tube dude! :)
Hey, I responded on to you on my video, but ill answer the questions from.this post here 👌 the length is little over three metre's, just a guestimate as in still in bed ATM.. Lol and probably only about 40mm/50mm internal diameter, my holes and spacing is what you had, 2.5mm holes 20mm apart 👍
generally not, the flames won't pass the small holes, similar to a principal of the miners lamp. The gas tank should always have a regulator for safety. The only chance of an explosion is if the diaphragm breaks and the flame enters the tube, but its generally just a large flame, not an explosion, as there is not enough oxygen present inside.
+Do You Even Science‽ ok, thx for the information, this video helped a lot for my school project.. just sayin' thank you very much for this really clear video..
+Do You Even Science‽ just add one more inner tube that can be moved inside and attach speaker to end. Like bass reflex tubes that can be adjusted. Than you can easily do it.
You should add some background music to your vids. I think that you'll have lots more subs and viewers if you make your vids more appealing. but otherwise... Keep up the good work!
Booyacookies thanks for watching and commenting. I've got a heap of vids that I need to edit, so I'll look at some music to put in for those. appreciate the input. now I just need to time to finish them off.
“The beautiful pipe in all it’s holiness” is one of the best puns I have ever heard-that cracked me up!

How do you add the speaker to the end of the tube? I'm using your video to make a Ruben's Tube for a school project.
Abraham Rittenhouse hey, thanks for watching. The speaker is simply placed in front of the diaphragm but not touching it. I used an old TV speaker mounted on a wooden block to hold it in place.
Did it work
@@bloinked as you see on video it work ;) due to the resonance
How does the propane or methane run through the pipe?
Very nice instructions. In your opinion, would square tube stock work just as well?
Is the green seal a regular balloon? Isn't that dangerous? Can the balloon withstand the heat and pressure inside the pipe?
Yes, regular balloon, and no, not dangerous. The gas pressure is slightly above ambient, just enough to make the flames small. As for heat, that is the reason the holes start a little in from the end. The pipe will eventually get very hot, but generally will run for over an hour without melting the balloon. If the balloon does come off, the pipe is void of oxygen, so won't explode, just end up with a large flame that is easy to smother with a wet cloth.
Wait, how do you light it??? If you light it, wouldnt the gas container blow ub?
I have you tried putting the gas supply the opposite side of the tube? So flames on top and supply on the bottom of the tube? Would this be better or worse?

Its important tube size, or it is possible to make it with longer and thinner tube?
how did you connect to the gas? what connector and how are you regulating pressure?
Thank you so much! Thought your video was amazing! Best diy I've seen on this. I've been looking FOREVER in how to do the gas setup. Keep up the content!

+Do You Even Science‽ Thanks... Yess for sure I will share it with you when it will be finished...thanks again for your tips.
Hi, is the amp necessary for the Ruben's tube to work because I don't think I can afford an amp. But perhaps you could send the link for the amp you bought on e-bay?
Do you know if it would work without an amplifier? It says the product will come in three weeks to a month but my project is due Dec. 10
i have a question how am i going to add the speaker ???
you simply place it facing the balloon diaphragm. you dont have to attach it
will the balloon diaphragm not burn up
Can we use butane can ?
what was the cost of materials about?
Including the amplifier, around 75 Australian dollars. A lot of items like speakers and the stand in was later placed on where scrap I had laying around.

this video was really helpful for our school project, you should keep on making them!
Thanks, I have plenty planned, just need time. Feel free to request a build. The next upload is being edited and is a chemistry video.
What is the pipes featurea
as in the dimensions? it is 90mm diameter and 1.8 length
Hey, I responded on to you on my video, but ill answer the questions from.this post here 👌 the length is little over three metre's, just a guestimate as in still in bed ATM.. Lol and probably only about 40mm/50mm internal diameter, my holes and spacing is what you had, 2.5mm holes 20mm apart 👍
the last part is a bit unclear;/ how do add the speaker?
***** well, if it wont be hard for you it would be awesome! i will do rubens tube for my school year project:P
Mate, legend!
Is their any possibility of the fire flaming and therefore exploding inside the pipe or the gas tank?
generally not, the flames won't pass the small holes, similar to a principal of the miners lamp. The gas tank should always have a regulator for safety. The only chance of an explosion is if the diaphragm breaks and the flame enters the tube, but its generally just a large flame, not an explosion, as there is not enough oxygen present inside.
Nice
How long will it run before it gets too hot?
Did you ever find an answer to this?
What would happen if I use speakers on both sides?
+Do You Even Science‽ ok, thx for the information, this video helped a lot for my school project.. just sayin' thank you very much for this really clear video..
+Do You Even Science‽ Actually not. If its positioned good than it can amplify this effect.
+Do You Even Science‽ just add one more inner tube that can be moved inside and attach speaker to end. Like bass reflex tubes that can be adjusted. Than you can easily do it.
Btw as a TH-camr i highly recomend to use audacity to remove the backround noise;)

Nice! Keep up the good work!
want some background music?
I won't say no. Still have about 10 videos to edit and publish.
I'd like to request a song
So I can buy one for 500$ or make one longer and better for 50$
Was planning on making and selling. Improved the design a lot in the past 4 years. Where you located?
Bit late now but galvanised steel ain't a good thing to burn
The tube doesn't technically burn or get hot enough for the zinc to burn. So its all good.
I have a song request
Ok.?
thnx
Frankie Beverly and maze before I let go
Aeound 6:27 made my ears bleed. Beware headphone users.
Do you even dubstep?
This old man can't even science
