Discovered by David Buckingham
Year of discovery 1982

p47 pre-pulsar shuttle is a period-47 shuttle oscillator discovered by David Buckingham on December 5, 1982[1] and was the first oscillator of that period to be discovered. It consists of four tubs, four blinkers, four eater 1s and two blocks hassling two pre-pulsars. Hassling pre-pulsars in manners similar to this was the only known method of constructing period-47 oscillators until discovery of the Snark in 2013. In terms of its 84 cells, it is the smallest known period-47 oscillator.

Generation 4 reveals that the objects being hassled are pre-pulsars

Applications

On May 12, 2003 Jason Summers found that sparks from four copies of this oscillator could be used to support a period-47 T-tetromino engine,[2] and in February 2009 Nicolay Beluchenko noticed that this only required two copies of the oscillator,[3] as shown below.

On August 1, 2022, iNoMed found a complete support for a p47 B-heptomino-hassling agar.[4] The agar was found by Nicolay Beluchenko in February 2009 and known to be connected via phase-shifting beacons.

Glider synthesis

A 64-glider synthesis was discovered in October 2013 by Martin Grant.[5] It starts with constructing the pre-pulsars and tubs, which form a two-fold p30 eureka variant on their own, then inserting blocks, blinkers and eaters to finish this p47. The synthesis was reduced to 39 gliders by Matthias Merzenich in December 2019, using a cheaper soup-based synthesis for the two-fold eureka variant.[6]
