I'm testing a circuit with restone but came across a very odd behavior, so I isolated a part of circuit composed of a block with the NOT gate which has a lever attached to it. When I activate the lever, the torch of the NOT gate always burns out.
Why is that?
PS: If you didn't understand just look at this tutorial and look at the beginning of the tutorial (which is in the middle of the video).
Here's a picture:
The fastest clock that will not burn out is the 4-clock. A common design is this one:
- =wire
r =repeater
- r -
r r
- r -
I think all repeaters must be set to 4 to remain stable, but I've been fine setting them to 3 before.
Edit: I did some research, to investigate. I have found that a torch needs at least 8 ticks total delay between pulses to prevent burnout. So the repeater clock with 4 repeaters should be set to at least 2 ticks each.
My basic setup:
Basically, my experiment involved that basic repeater clock hooked up to 4 torches. I started with them each at 1 tick delay, and, as expected, all of the torches burnt out very quickly. I increased the delay on the repeaters one by one until the torches stopped burning out. This point came when each repeater was at 2 ticks delay (though the torches were probably pulsing too quickly for most devices).
Though it should be noted that torches can be extremely buggy sometimes; sometimes, pulling a lever will burn a torch out...
You can make your device smaller if you replace the piston with a sticky piston and put it in place of the top torch.
Put a block on it and you are done:

As @fredley suggested, I crossed upon a well know bug. Creating a new world (or probably just change the position of the blocks) will solve the problem.
