Random switch engine stuff

This is a topic for random switch engine stuff:
(Glider-laying switch engine I got by crashing a random line into a 6-engine Cordership)

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 27, rule = B3/S23

Why yes, that certainly is a glider-laying switch engine.

Here's a reaction between a trio of gliders and an elevener and block psuedo still life which yields a switch engine. I posted this in thread for accidental discoveries the other day but I feel it would be more relevent on this one.

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

12b2o$12bobo!

Also, another pattern of mine which creates a glider producing switch engine.

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 27, rule = B3/S23
10bo$10b2o10$18bo$18b2o5$o2bo$b3o5$23bo$24bo$23bo$20b3o!

Or in an alternate form with a significantly larger bounding box.

Code: Select all

x = 90, y = 91, rule = B3/S23
87bobo$87b2o$88bo34$62bo$60b2o$61b2o11$64bobo$64b2o$65bo30$6bobo$6b2o$
7bo4$4bo$5bo$o4bo$b5o!

I included the latter because, the collision between the first glider and the MWSS was how I origionally discovered the switch engine, I just added the other 3 gliders to get rid of the r pentomino and blinkers near it which would kill it if left unchecked.
