It is not recommended to mix helium and acetylene as they have different physical and chemical properties. Helium is an inert gas while acetylene is a flammable gas. Mixing them could create a hazardous situation due to the risk of combustion or explosion.
Some common compressed gases used for welding include acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, and helium. These gases are often used in various combinations depending on the welding process and materials being joined.
The gas commonly filled in cylinders is compressed gas, such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium, or acetylene. Each gas has specific properties that make it suitable for different applications.

Helium is completely inert, it is the most inert of all elements, and so it will not react in any way with hydrogen (or with any other element). So, if you mix hydrogen and helium, nothing happens. You have a mixture of hydrogen and helium. It's a lot lighter than air, you can make balloons that will float. Of course, you can do that with pure hydrogen or with pure helium, as well.
