Induction coil

An induction coil is any object used to stabilize an edge (or edges) of another pattern without touching. While still lifes and oscillators can be used as induction coils, there are also many induction coils that are not stable by themselves (such as table).

Examples

The tubs on the sides of the Gray counter are used as induction coils, as are the blocks and snakes used in the Hertz oscillator and the heptomino at the bottom of the mathematician.

The Gray counter is stabilized by two tubs.

The Hertz oscillator is stabilized by two blocks and two snakes.

The Mathematician is mutually stabilized by a crinkly heptomino.
