! "blinkership" (cells 72 length 17 width 30 generation 0) ! This is a puffer train which leaves no permanent exhaust, and yet grows ! arbitrarily large. The engine and spaceships to the right of the blinker ! produce a new blinker every 12 generations. Without the object to the left ! of the blinker (a predecessor to traffic lights), this puffer train would ! just leave behind an infinite line of blinkers. However, the object reacts ! with the blinkers with a period of 26, and totally destroys them. The speed ! of the reaction is 6/13 the speed of light, which is slightly slower than the ! rest of the spaceship. Therefore, every 156 generations the puffer train ! grows in size by one blinker. ! 8k29h@! ...............O..O ...................O ...............O...O ................OOOO......OO .........................OOOO .........................OO.OO ................OOO.OO.....OO OOO....O.......OO.....O O.O....O......O.......OO OOO....O.......OO.....O ................OOO.OO.....OO .........................OO.OO .........................OOOO ................OOOO......OO ...............O...O ...................O ...............O..O
