EDIT by dvgrn: Moved this over here, because it's a near miss but it's just not quite a converter.

Jubjub-reflecting the glider cleans up the beehive quite nicely, but then it becomes a slow eater and/or glider-activated sparker, and it doesn't look like the sparks are particularly interesting or accessible.

If there was a catalyst that could get rid of the beehive that forms, there could be one that doesn't have the blinker and emits another Herschel. The output Hershel's first natural glider is also needed to delete the blob that forms, but that's no biggie. Here, a deletion of a block acts in place of a catalysis:

It seems somewhat viable, though the block in the southeast prevents the boat that gets used from being a one-time turner.

I think that the input clearance is non-hopeless in this case, but if I'm wrong about that, Sokwe (or any other moderator) is free to move my post to the thread for useless discoveries.
Interesting! Totally different sequence leading to the Herschel from the one in Fx158, which is the only (?) (it can't still be the only one, can it?) other non-B-sequence Herschel output.
A while back, I found this clean R+glider+block reaction that shoots a Herschel sideways:
Code: Select all
x = 33, y = 18, rule = LifeHistory
30.A$30.A.A$30.2A2$3D19.2C$.D19.2C$.3D18.C10$16.2A$16.2A!
However, the closest I've seen to anything accommodating the input is the ancient G4-to-R receiver.

Speaking of different ways of doing things, here's another dependent H-to-MWSS+beehive (with an added mold to suppress the beehive):
Code: Select all

This alternate catalysis for the lower left might lead to a stable beehive suppression, but it'd be tough:
Code: Select all
x = 32, y = 33, rule = LifeHistory

The output connection must be independent, because it relies on the output herschel's FNG for cleanup.
