Glider loop oscillator

For other uses of 'glider loop', see Glider loop (disambiguation).

A glider loop oscillator is a closed track made out of several independent reflectors, with one or several gliders on the track. By changing the number of gliders and positioning the reflectors, it is possible to adjust the oscillator to infinitely many different periods.
