Backrake 2 is a period-12 backrake that was created by David Buckingham. It works by having a front puffer made up of two lightweight spaceships, a middleweight spaceship, and a B-heptomino (much like puffer 2) send debris back to another lightweight and middleweight spaceship, which turn the debris into a backward-moving glider.
Three copies of this backrake feature in total aperiodic.
Reduction
On April 28, 2022, Aleph discovered a 39-cell period-12 backrake that works as a reduced version of Backrake 2 using the apgsearch custom symmetry WSS_test, that had also found 35P12H6V0.[1] Dave Greene found a 13-glider synthesis on November 1, 2022.[2]
