this gives me ideas....
Apparently the grid has to many holes per inch to get the proper individual flames like in the tube they show. The thought of scaling it up appropriately leads to a back of the envelope calculation of being 50 by 50 holes. Scales to the tube that would probably mean about 4 feet. Which appears to be what they did. So it needs to be bigger than that to prevent the individual flames merging. Call it 8 feet square. With the amount of gas needed to run that it will probably burn down the house before the first standing wave is found...
But it is tempting...
