Welcome to the forums! I see that you've made several posts already.

The term for this kind of infinitely-extensible pattern is "wick", or also "fuse" if its already decaying from one end, which it is here.

I'm not sure if this one is known or not, but it wouldn't surprise me considering it's simplicity.

It's known, being the mechanism used in Candelabra. The article doesn't specifically mention the wick, but I've seen it a few times before and I've even stumbled upon it myself before.

Known for at least 11 years, and probably longer

Not sure if the double candelabra can be synthesized:

Code: Select all
