Candlefrobra is a period-3 induction coil which involves what resembles a long bookend hassling a tub as its rotor. There are many possible stabilizations of the candlefrobra, many small examples of which arise naturally.

Commonness

A candlefrobra-on-beacon occurred naturally in May 2015, becoming the first trivial oscillator to occur naturally, as the two rotors do not interact.
