I wasn't able to get rid of that pesky blinker using catalysts. A completely different reaction might yield a smaller solution, but this is what I've got for now.
The repeat time is 1147.

In what context do you want the conduit? Also, where did you get the above reaction? It looks like a random reaction that puts out a beehive and a block, so is not very informative.

These could be used to make signal loops, attached to sparkers to increase their clearance or change the spark type. The only example I know of is the pipsquirter catalyst; can we find more?
