p6 pipsquirter (also known as pipsquirter 1) is a period-6 pipsquirter that was found on November 15, 1997 by Noam Elkies.[1] It features a block acting as an induction coil and its phases have 50, 50, 53, 50, 52, and 53 cells, respectively.
Synthesis
Martin Grant found a 276-glider synthesis of the p6 pipsquirter on March 17, 2016.[2]
As a reflector
The p6 pipsquirter has the ability to act as a 90-degree colour-changing glider reflector when it is combined with a block, boat and eater 1. The input path and output path of the glider are shown below.
