Removing half of the stabilization from a Gray counter results in a large induction coil: ...

This can be made from the penultimate step of the Grey Counter synthesis. One variant makes 16.1858 (useless, as it can be done much more cheaply from 7). Another useless variant almost makes an interesting inductor.

[Mr. T]

Combining a c2-0048-lwss-backrake with 2 fireships makes a growing spaceship with a 48-rake producing a glider in a 480-cycle. (I hope, that was the right term). Everery third lwss reacts with the fireships. The lwss-backrake is a little bit trivial. If there is a more advanced known?

Welcome to the board (if you haven't already been)! This pattern is not in standard Life, but we do have a corresponding thread in the Other Cellular Automata board.

Also, here's a predecessor of a fairly rare but probably known constellation: ...

This constellation is fairly common. There are many ways of forming this from as few as 3 gliders.

...and another: ...

This is formed from two colliding traffic lights, which can easily be formed in a large number of ways.

[muzik]

Ah, right. Should we give a name to the first one?


Here's yet another, this time of four beehives in an asymmetric arrangement (ignoring the top one, since it was formed by a different reaction):

Ah, right. Should we give a name to the first one?

I've always called it "W" for lack of a better name, because the components vaguely suggest that.

I'd say blush. The blocks look like eyes and the ship the mouth.
