Vertical metal stand on black tripod base with torsion wire hanging from top clamp, permanent magnet and burner assembly on middle clamps, rubber tube connecting to blue propane cylinder at right
Safety

Curie Temperature

Demonstrates the Curie temperature phase transition: an iron rod held against a permanent magnet by ferromagnetic attraction is heated until it loses its magnetism and swings away, then cools and …
Tall cardboard carpet tube standing vertically on the floor next to a small blue propane cylinder connected by rubber hose to a Bunsen burner at the base, in front of a chalkboard
Safety

Hoot Tube

A propane flame inside a tall cardboard tube drives thermoacoustic resonance, producing a loud sustained tone. Students observe how heated convective airflow excites standing waves in the tube at a …

Ruben's Flame Standing Wave Tube

Visualizes standing acoustic waves using a propane-filled tube with rows of small flames that respond to pressure variations. Students directly observe nodes and antinodes as differences in flame height, connecting …
Two sensitive flame burner assemblies: left unit has a small wheel-like fixture on a rod with round black base, right unit has a brass tube mounted in a gray rectangular block
Safety

Sensitive (Manometric) Flames

Sensitive flame burners produce flames that flicker visibly when exposed to high-frequency sound, providing direct visual evidence that sound carries energy. Historically, these flames served as detectors in "optical" experiments …
