    Depends on the fuel oil stored -most fuel oils actually don't combust easily, if you dip a flame into it it'd extinguish the flame. Kind of the same with some jet engine fuel. But once it's been sprayed it'll combust very easily (and so it is *still* dangerous.)

    As a person in choir. That would suck for the choir. There is a happy middle ground between no reverb (think singing outside in a field) and too much (singing in a room like this). If you get too much reverb, anything fancy you try to do vocally will just be drowned out by reverb from earlier. Too little reverb and chords don’t sound right and it’s tough to stay in tune because you can’t hear the complete sound bouncing back at you.

    A starter pistol is just very loud. What I want to see them do is set up a speaker and play a frequency that's harmonic with both the diameter and the length. The reverberations would echo at the same frequency as the physical dimensions of the tank. That would be really cool. Right before it gets so loud that it kills everybody in the chamber.

    Physics teacher here. This is an interesting experiment as we can find the length of the pipeline he's playing into (or least one section, which most likely has a closed end somewhere) Using a bpm counter, I found that the song he plays has a tempo of 104bpm. Counting the measures, we find that it takes 2bpm before the sound he plays is returned to him. Some quick math finds that the actual time therefore is 60(seconds in a minute) / 104 (bpm) * 2 (amount of bpm for return) = about 1.15 seconds for the sound to travel from the sax to the end of the tube and back to him. Using the speed of sound we can calculate the total distance the sound has to travel. Sound on earth travels at around 343 meters per second. That times 1.15 seconds gets us to 395.77 meters. As that is the distance for the sound to travel and back, half of it would be the length of the section of the tube. 395.77 / 2 = 197.89 meters deep in ur mom lmao

    One of the most impressive echoes I've ever heard was from a small island in a large lake. Far off in the distance was a monolithic rock face. We would yell a few words towards the mountain, then wait ... a long time. (I was just a kid, but as I remember it, it was maybe 10 or 20 seconds.) When the echo finally got back to us, it was just a low thunder-like rumble because the sound had distorted so much on the round-trip journey.

    I was wishing the mics had been spaced much further apart for super wide stereo but very cool none-the-less.
