here is the comparison of some gas randomizers. change the gas and see the different results. given: CO2, OXGN, HYGN, GAS. stop the test before sparking the reset button. if you let it run the charts will reset when full automatically.

    Ok, HYGN is best.

    Thank you ivel236. I actually built this to test randomizers first. then it became a place to test other stuff. all of my gates have been thru or were developed in this tester. I like spark activated randomizers better, however these are interesting to compare the gas behavior.

    Btw i don't think I have ever told you how awesome this test bed is! excellent work!

    I did some testing and found that gas is actually sort of heavy like C02, though only slightly. HYGN and OXGN are still random as ever indeed, and very fast.

    Done. The pressure did indeed have an impact on performance. CO2 is on the bottom most of the time. gas is pretty even just slow so it has half as many outputs as HYGN or OXGN which are both about the same as before, fairly even and fast.

    electronics running for a long time will generate pressure.

    @ivel236. you are correct! nice catch. I will do something about it. it must be having an effect on the results. all I need to do is place some 0 temp pump around.

    @NewTrain64. you should follow the link that says original save to see how this machine is supposed to be setup. this is kind of a hack because the randomizers are not spark powered. I put a battery in the switch mech and back feed sprk into where it is supposed to come FROM.

    I don't think GAS is actually lighter or anything i think it is just less entropic and is more easily pushed up by this small pressure difference.

    There is one problem with this though, theres a very small pressure gradient from bottom to top
