Candelabra is a period-3 oscillator that was found by Charles Trawick in 1971.[1][2] It uses tubs as induction coils and it can easily be extended, as shown below.

x = 34, y = 6, rule = B3/S23 4b2o4b2ob2o4b2ob2o4b2o$bo2bo6bobo6bobo6bo2bo$obobo6bobo2b2o2bobobo2bob obobo$bo2bob4obobob4obobobo2bobo2bo$4bobo2bobobobo2bobobobo2bobo$5bo4b o3bo4bo3bo4bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]] #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 GPS 2 AUTOSTART ]]

Glider synthesis

Glider syntheses for several variants of this oscillator were found by Mark Niemiec and Martin Grant in 2015 and 2016.[3][4][5][6] A 19-glider synthesis for the canonical version of this oscillator, featuring tubs as stabilization, was found by GUYTU6J on March 5, 2020,[7] which was reduced to 17 gliders by iNoMed in April 2021.[8]
