Oscillators
Some new oscillators

80P24 144P24 Jason Summers has found a new Period 24 Oscillator based on a pair of Twin Bee components stabilized by four Period 6 Unix oscillators. From that Noam Elkies has found a couple of other ways to stabilze this rotor.

225P4 Karel Suhajda has also found a Period 4 fountain-type oscillator. These types of oscillators feature a spark well away from the body of the oscillator, making them useful in the costruction of Glider Guns and other engineered patterns
