I'm on a science kick right now and have either discovered or rediscovered a series of cool ways to visualize sensory phenomenon which otherwise don't have an inherent visual form. Almost as cool as a Ruben Sandwich, a Ruben's Tube is an old school way to visualize sound. Based on Heinrich Ruben's 1904 proof of concept, the idea is simple: pass sounds waves through a tube of flammable medium to see their effect over the length of the combustion. While I try not to make it a habit to get my inspiration from left-over Gen-Xers with bad hair (and probably a sweet '89 Firebird parked out front), this guy's visible pyromania was just too cool to pass up.
