- 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/or positioning the gliders and reflectors, it is possible to adjust the oscillator to infinitely many different periods.
