P6 domino sparker:

Code: Select all

RLE

The active region in the sparker appears to be a P-spark and a 6-line (and a supporting spark-coil type object).

...That's even more impressive than the meatball! (at least in terms of clearance)

So now it is time to do serious research to find something at a reasonable recovery time that connects to PF*39C. Hopefully there will be an alternative edge-shooter replacing the old L156+RNE-19T84 one when it is not easy to remove the extra perpendicular glider. Or, to kick the can down the road,...

p100 flipper. p4 and p5 work; since 50 is not divisible by 4 but 5 is, a p4 would have the sparks alternate, while a p5 would have them at the same time. It should definitely be doable.

How do I make a custom converter based on a natural reaction like this?

Here is a way to turn a U-turner into a Herschel (which does not come from a B-sequence) with the same initial tub.
