The longest Ruben´s tube is 10.17 m (33 ft 4.39 in)and was achieved by Teadusteater OÜ (Estonia), in Tartu, Estonia, on 7 July 2020.


Teadusteater OÜ were inspired to make a large Ruben’s tube because the team works in science popularization. This is not an experiment that is seen every day, with fire and music being the key factors the team figured that the concept of seeing soundwaves would be interesting, especially on a large scale. The team have also used it to make smores with potential science students and also another time to create an unforgettable effect at a band performance.

'The planning and building were pretty much simultaneous. At first we planned the build for two months and then we started the building, experimenting, analyzing and re-planning. It took us almost half a year to build the whole tube.'

Being a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holder would mean that we would be science popularizers that have done something really awesome, spreading the message that science is awesome and important.
