I did this for a chem experiment in high school. I was tasked with trying to identify and explain the different effects that can be produced, considering vapor loads, oxygen availability, air currents produced, etc. (I did a poor job there, but still got an A for demonstrating it) Besides 75% and 99% rubbing alcohol, my teacher gave me some pure ether to try as well. Ether produced a 12 foot jet for 15 seconds before flashing repeatedly and going out (the finally of the evening, I think it scared the teacher). My favorite effect was a ball of fire that would bounce up and down inside the jar, sometimes for minutes at a time. There was also a plane of fire that would slowly descend (seen in the video), rapid flashes (also in this video), small to large jets of flame from the mouth, and the least impressive was just a small flame at the mouth (this often triggered another effect eventually). Thinking back, my teacher was incredibly lucky it didn't explode because we had the entire class surrounding the bottle outside in the dark while I repeatedly fired it off using different fuels. What a lawsuit that would have been! Woo Hoo!
