Twin bees shuttle stabilized by David Bell's double block reaction (left) and Heinrich Koenig's hat stabilization.

The double block reaction is a certain reaction that uses half of a blockade to stabilize the twin bees shuttle. It was discovered by David Bell in October 1996.

The same reaction sometimes works in other situations, as shown below where the same pair of blocks eats an R-pentomino and a lightweight spaceship. The LWSS version was known at least as early as 1994, when Paul Callahan saw it form spontaneously as a result of firing an LWSS stream at random junk.
