Sqrtgun
A sqrtgun[note 1] is any glider-emitting pattern which emits its nth glider at a time asymptotically proportional to n². The first examples were constructed by Dean Hickerson around 1991, using periodic circuitry. The following larger stable sqrtgun circuit was assembled by Dave Greene in September 2018,[1] using two different Herschel transceivers.

Notes
- The name is a pun on "squirt gun" and "sqrt", i.e. "square root".
