Step 8Lighting
1. Check once again that the holes are facing skyward and have a stick light handy. It is sometimes handy to prop the tube up on some scrap wooden blocks.
2. Holding the lit stick lighter over the tube hole's nearest to the intake, rotate the regulator left until gas is heard.
3. Once the first few are lit, make sure the rest are lit soon after to prevent gas buildup.
4. Once all the jets are lit, adjust the regulator until an approximately 1inch flame is evenly spread throughout the tube.
5. If the flames are bouncing, wait for the gas to stabilize (sometimes they are caused by vibrations in the tubing).
Thats it! You've built a Rubens Tube. In additional to driving sine waves or music through the tube, you might even hook up a microphone!
