p6 pipsquirter 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.
This pattern is also occasionally referred to as pipsquirter 1, although chronological names are in the process of being phased out in favor of more descriptive names.
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.
