Pipsquirter 1 is a period-6 pipsquirter that was found in November 1997 by Noam Elkies. 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 pipsquirter 1 on March 17, 2016.[1]

As a reflector

Pipsquirter 1 has the ability to act as a 90-degree glider reflector when it is combined with a block, boat and eater 1. The input path (in green) and output path (in red) of the glider are shown below.

gollark: It's derived from the Notenglish word "argleflargleblargleasdasofaaaragamovovoeasd", meaning "old image format with many poor features only used due to the fact that it is commonly played animated even if considered an image".
