Elektron resource converter output seems to be inverted.

Fuel cells operate at a ratio of 2:1 hydrogen & oxygen -> electricity + water.
The Elektron which reverses the process, however converts with a 1:2 ratio, effectively transmogrifying hydrogen into oxygen.
From testing:
- Inputs
- Hydrogen: 26536 (double height wedge)
- Oxygen: 13268 (single height wedge)
- Alkaline fuel cell
- Misc. load to drain fuel cell + batteries.
- After running fuel cell to depletion
- Hydrogen: 168 units remain (not too much of a concern, a rounding error brought on by timewarp or floating point inprecision)
- Water: 21.33
- After running Elektron (solar powered, fuel cell is off)
- Hydrogen: 13184
- Oxygen: 26536
- Water: 0
This looks to have been a typo, as the config files have opposite ordering of hydrogen/oxygen between fuel cells and the Elektron.
side note: I don't think there's any issue with the tiny amount of left over hydrogen, and I don't think the Elektron should/has to be a perfect conversion back (some loss in the conversion would be acceptable as a way to give the part a certain lifespan before it needs topping up. Hydrogen is a pain to keep stored, so some loss would be expected..) but not at quite the ratio exhibited, especially when it ends up producing even more O2.
