Really interesting! Not sure what practical use it might have that differs from a more typical sparker — the spark isn't really robust enough to be likely to withstand multiple interactions. I would imagine this to be the first of its class, at least at low-to-medium period — hopefully not the last! As a side note, the rightmost segment of the rotor can be stabilized on its own, making a fairly small billiard table which may or may not be known: Code: Select all x = 16, y = 10, rule = B3/S23 10b2o$6b2o2bo$5bo2bobo3b2o$5bobobob2o2bo$3b2o4bobob2o$2bo2b2obo$bobo2b ob3o$o2b2o2bo6b2o$2o6b3obo2bo$10bob2o!

That's present in jslife's o0007-bil.lif, and I actually selected that completion manually after a certain point in the search.

Here's a slightly more robust p5 hw emulator:

It seems that the oscilliator must be known, but I'm unable to find it in previous collections.
For some strange reason it doesn't seem to be in jslife or the jslife-osc-supplement, but it is in DRH-oscillators (Golly Patterns/Life/Oscillators/DRH-oscillators.rle)
The latest version of the 5S Project contains over 226,000 spaceships. There is also a GitHub mirror of the collection. Tabulated pages up to period 160 (out of date) are available on the LifeWiki.

My vague recollection is that somebody found a stationary fencepost for ... something-or-other interesting ... in the past few years, but I can't find the reference, and based on my searches so far I don't think it was this wick. P12 searches are still very difficult. Or can you get away with just p6? I'm definitely not one of the experts on this topic.

All I remember offhand is Sokwe's c/5 stabilization from 2013
That post only shows Hartmut Holzwart's stabilization (mine are two posts above). A more complete survey of those c/5 wickstretchers is given here.

Indeed, finding a p12 "source" for this ant-like wick is probably out of reach with current technology. I am not currently aware of a p6 source, but I suspect one could be found with some effort.

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread Cross-posting from here, a Rich's p16 on tumbler is a 50p112 (note gen 46): Code: Select all x = 18, y = 13, rule = B3/S23 3b2o$2bo2bo$bo2bo$bo6bo4bo2b2o$o2bo3bobo4bo2bo$b3o3b2o5b2obo2$b3o3b2o 5b2obo$o2bo3bobo4bo2bo$bo6bo4bo2b2o$bo2bo$2bo2bo$3b2o!

Similarly, Rich's p16 interacts with twin bees shuttle forming a 62p368 (note gen 30~37):

Period 3 oscillators are extremely plentiful and are very easy to find. They are rarely worth noting unless they have some particularly useful or notable characteristics (e.g. easily accessible sparks, cheap synthesis, occur commonly in soups, etc.)

This mechanism can work with any period 9 or higher oscillator with a sufficiently remote domino spark. It works for pentadecathlons, and also snackers. Oddly, it does NOT work for tetradecathlons, because the phase-shifting process intrudes on the reaction. A for awesome wrote:Nice!
