Thread for your speculative elementary conduits

[AlbertArmStain]

My idea was to catalyse the top and hope that the propagation happens fast enough.
This snake doesn't last long, but definitely an idea.

Code: Select all

x = 36, y = 34, rule = B3/S23
2o29b2o$o30bo$bo27bobo$2o27b2o$22b2o$22b2o7$33b2o$30b2ob3o$26b2ob3ob2o
$26b2o2b2ob3o$34b2o14$11bobobob2o$10bob2ob2obo$10bo$9b2o!

Or, try to restore block

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 17, rule = B3/S23
28b2o$28bo$8b2o16bobo$8b2o16b2o$19b2o$19b2o$2o$bo$bobo$2b2o3$30b2o$27b
2ob3o$23b2ob3ob2o$23b2o2b2ob3o$31b2o!

This is a more useful output:

Code: Select all

x = 95, y = 75, rule = LifeHistory

Among those manual experiments, that third one (with a sacrificial block) is something I didn't consider. This almost works, but the extra debris sent north becomes a problem:

I did not manage to find anything b-to-x working with that one sadly.

That HF91B can be used as an incomplete F111 (HF111H) followed by a dependent H-to-X creating a glider SW10T108 which is bounced to delete the leftover block

[Haycat2009]

Can anyone help complete this partial HR(x)74B conduit? The topmost block turns into a tail, but none of the replacement catalysts for that situation work. Alternatively, is there a way to turn that beehive back to a block with a stable catalyst? (Shown with BFx59H)

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 24, rule = B3/S23
