Turn Continuous Redstone Into a Pulse
Okay, so I was messing around with redstone trying to make a lighting system for my house, and I came up with an extremely rapid redstone pulser. I looked through a lot of videos and forum posts and none had anything like what I made.
The first one, someone has made it before, they labeled it as clock #6 [thank you for notifying me KidMischief!]. I call it the Single Core Pulser, or SCP, or SCPulser for short. The redstone torch burns out very fast, so you have to restart it by providing an input on and then off for any amount of ticks. The output of the pulser is around 1 tick long, maybe less, but I haven't been able to measure it well. Yes... You can use it for lag machines, but I am not recommending it or anything (because it works pretty good for a lag machine when hooked up to some other devices.
Picture of the single core pulser:
Features:
Lever- The lever on top of the block is to turn the pulser on and off. When the lever is producing an output it stops the pulser, and when it isn't it producing an output it lets the pulser, well... pulse.
Redstone Repeater- this is optional, for a faster pulse, replace the repeater with regular redstone dust. For a slower pulse, just increase number of ticks on repeater (this makes a normal circuit or add more of them. REMEMBER: The faster the pulser is set to, the quicker the redstone torch will burn out.
Redstone torch- This is complicated to explain, as it is the whole concept of how the pulser works: The redstone torch produces input which is sent by redstone dust back to the block the torch is placed on. This powers the torch off, which removes the input, which removes power from the block, which turns the torch on, sending input back into the block. This keeps on going until the torch "burns out".
Next, I made this pulser. I don't think anyone has made this other than me, but it is still a possibility. I call this one the Quad Core Pulser, or QCP, or QCPulser for short. This one is quite bigger (not that much) than the SCPulser, guess what... IT WILL NEVER BURN OUT! That's right, it will pulse at a 1 tick slower speed (if that) than the SCPulser, but it will not burn out. Funny thing is, I was on a server trying to make a floor lighting system that would also block the light from the windows (it was always day on the server) and I accidentally made the pulser. NOTE: This one is a lot better for lag machines, and possibly the best, especially when hooked up to other devices, like pistons

Features:
Lever: Same as with the SCP, execpt it had to be moved to avoid redstone issues. It just stops and starts the pulser.
Four redstone torches: This is almost as complicated to explain than the SCP. OKAY! So, When the pulser starts, the four torches simultaneously send an input that goes to the repeaters, that send it back to the block and, like the SCP, it loops the power. This is why it doesn't go out: The four torches WILL NOT all go out at the same time (I think that that's just Minecraft's doing) so, at least one torch will always be providing input, that will restart the pulser. This means that, yes, the torches do burn out, but they are almost instantly repowered.
Redstone Repeaters: These are REQUIRED for this pulser, it sends the signal directly back to the torches, without it, the redstone power wouldn't be able to go back into the torches. I am going to try to find a way to do it without redstone repeaters (this means a faster pulse 
), and I might have an idea for it, but it needs further testing.
If you have any other suggestions for the pulsers, or improvements or whatever, just leave a comment!
Furthermore, I am not asking you to give me credit for these, as other people might've done them. As long as you don't take the credit for coming up with the idea for the QCPulser, without proof you published the idea first, I'm cool with anyone using them for whatever reason.
If you are wondering why I named them Single and Quad core and such, it is because of the number of torches on blocks, just look at the pictures above. You'll see why that was a semi-good name for them. If you don't like the name, just leave a suggestion: I'm open to ideas!
Thank You!
