The gas mixer will mix the input gases based on volume of gas in the ratio provided by the setting. However if the gases at input 1 and input 2 are not at the same temperature they will not mix at the specified ratio. This means if you're trying to mix [[Hydrogen]] and [[Oxygen]] at a 2:1 ratio, you should make sure both input gases are at the same temperature.

	While the gas mixer ignores input pressures, the mixer will take more moles of the colder gas than you would expect. For instance, if you set the gas mixer to a 1:1 ratio and both inputs contain just [[Carbon Dioxide]], input 1 at 2000 K and input 2 at 1000K, it will take twice as much of the gas from input 2, so your resultant gas will be Carbon Dioxide at 1333.33 K.
