Lx65 is a periodic elementary Herschel conduit. After 65 ticks , it produces an inverted Herschel turned 90 degrees counterclockwise at (12, -16) relative to the input. A ghost Herschel marks the output location.
It relies on a sparker to provide a spark at generation 42. Caterer or jam , T-nosed p4 , octagon II and T-nosed p6 work for periods of 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively, as shown in the infobox. Its repeat time is 57, which can be reduced to 56 by replacing the welded 7×9 eater with a blocker .
A p6 variant that relies on the output's first natural glider to remove blocks was used by David Buckingham to build a p366 gun in 1994, and the p3 variant was later used in Dietrich Leithner 's 1997 p57 Herschel loop .
Duplicating variant
There exist variants of Lx65 that duplicate the Herschel, with full technical name Lx65_R64 . In the pattern below, the two ghost Herschels indicate the two output locations.
As a duplicator, both outputs need to be connected to either a dependent conduit or both outputs to an independent conduit as the two FNGs mutually annihilate.

Stable Spartan catalyst
On September 13, 2024 , Mitchell Riley discovered a still life constellation that can act as a catalyst, replacing the periodic sparkers.[1]
