1. A structure for mixing at least two fluids, said structure comprising:

  • at least two fluid transporting fractals, namely a first fluid transporting fractal and a second fluid transporting fractal, each said fluid transporting fractal having a respective fluid input which bifurcates to a plurality of fluid outputs, said fluid transporting fractals being positioned offset from one another, each said fluid transporting fractal being configured to facilitate a flow therethrough independent from a flow in said other fluid transporting fractal, a first said output of said first fluid transporting fractal being interconnected to a respective second output of said second fluid transporting fractal by a merging channel, said merging channel providing a zone, isolated from fluid flows from outputs other than from said first and second outputs, wherein fluid exiting said first output of said first fluid transporting fractal may mix with fluid exiting said second output of said second fluid transporting fractal in an environment isolated from fluids exiting said outputs other than said first and second outputs.
