p40 B-heptomino shuttle
P40 B-heptomino shuttle is a period-40 shuttle oscillator found by David Buckingham sometime before May 1991,[1] being the first period 40 oscillator to be discovered.[note 1] It consists of two blockers, two tubs, and a fumarole hassling a B-heptomino.

![]() Generation 17 reveals that the object being hassled is a B-heptomino. |
gollark: I figure YouTube is bound to fail eventually since it's trying to handle too many conflicting demands from various sides and not handling any that well. But for now it sort of works.
gollark: You could probably use non-youtube video hosting, but it would be annoying and hard to monetize.
gollark: I would assume making the images out of them takes some work, unless there's a convenient script for that.
gollark: Do you just spend ages manually compiling these big collages of comemnts?
gollark: Hmm. Very annoying of YouTube, that.

Notes
- A period-40 oscillator, octagon II on figure eight, can be constructed from two sparkers (octagon II and figure eight) both of which were definitely known by 1971. However, this type of oscillator is generally considered "boring", and thus not counted despite technically being non-trivial.
