## Description

Used to pump gasses throughout a pipe, featuring an adjustable valve 0-10 Liters and requiring power (20W per Liter). All the gasses in the pipes behind it will be completely pushed in front of it when powered, and blocks any flow of gasses in either direction when unpowered.

Note that valve settings are for the rate at which the pump operates, in volume per tick (0.5 seconds).

To calculate the moles per tick, use the following equation:
n = (P * V) / (R * T)

Where:
- P = Input pressure (in KPa)
- V = The volume you set (in L)
- n = Moles per tick
- R = Gas constant (8.3144)
- T = Input temperature (in Kelvin)

Ex: ~4 Moles per tick = (1,000KPa * 10L) / (8.3144 * 300K)
