The rest of the oscillators seem to be Trice Tongs and Jam in various orientations.

Moral of the story: If it can be found quickly or easily, then it is already known.

EDIT: I retract my statement above, as I was reminded of the Copperhead:

I could've chose a better username, but oh well.

I think I've learned the ropes of cellular automata. My current interest is range-two LTLs.

Edit: I made a cleaner rake.

Please tell me if these are new or not
They could be new, but probably wouldn't be seen as very important. It's pretty easy to modify a large pattern to do something different. For example, I can delete a swath of stuff (highlighted with markoff) in the back of Solifuge to get an easy camelwise rake.

To be fair, such a modification would be kinda notable in its own right, since Solifuge is the first known camelship and thus the first way a camelwise rake could be made.
