Create infinite energy machine
This is the correct answer given time and thought, but nah, would rather pee from my bed
shoot one portal in my bathroom. Carry the emergency bathroom gun everywhere just in case. No emergency will ever actually be important enough to use it but the peace of mind is always there…
fuck it up and waste the first shot on a non-portal supporting surface
Shoot the portal on two moveable plates. Move the plates as needed to ship goods. For instance, I imagine making a lot of money shoving sea ice into a portal exiting Lake Powell.
Granted. The portals immediately close when you try to move the plates.
As far as I remember in Portal, the portals could move if the plates moved.
So lore-wise it’s not supposed to be possible, but that one room does indeed have moving portals. The explanation is supposedly that portals disappear when the object they are on is accelerated.
In Portal 2 there was a section with moving plates, but only one portal could be on them.
Read the instructions.
Sell it to a space agency that promises it to use it as a wormhole.It needs to be aimed at our moon (Selene) and an exo-dwarf planet.
The good answer is to create some kind of perpetual motion machine.
The cool answer is to create some kind of roller coaster that just keeps going and going
The fun answer is to create some chaos. Put one behind a door or something and the other in some unexpected place.
Oh, see I was thinking a portal on the ISS, but absolutely you could place one against the other, plop in a MASSIVE pole with teeth to match a gear, and just constantly generate power.
It would be a bad use of it, but probably pick a random road online and pick a random volcano. Whoever gets unlucky and doesn’t notice the nightmare portal in the ground gets a free trip to the base of a volcano at no cost. Would obviously need the portal to be in a location where you cannot just easily return from, though. Gonna turn a random volcano and random street into quite the tourist attraction for no reason.
Put the other portal in a geostationary space station: free access to orbit.
The single most (energy) expensive thing humans do is put things in orbit.
Love the idea, but (spoiler for the end of Portal 2) >!isn’t that kind of what Chell did at the end of Portal 2 to defeat GlaDOS? The portal on the Moon causes the portal on Earth to suction everything out into space.!<
You put it inside a space station… Or out the earth side portal in an airlock.
Chell put it on the surface of the Moon.
The portals would just need to be in a pressure equalizing chamber for that.
Your spoiler tag doesn’t work
Strange. Thanks for the heads up. It looked to be working on my end using the Sync app, but I’ve heard Sync isn’t getting any regular updates anymore. Either Sync broke something, or I did!
Tap for spoiler
That’s how you do spoiler tag
- But two sheets of plywood
- Portal on each
- ???
- Profit
Put portals on two boards. See what happens if I put one board through the other portal.
Minute Physics did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMZoLjB9JE
Portal to the edge of the universe?
Those portals travel slowly. Good idea. Lets wait till it arrives…
One on my butt, one in the toilet, never need to poop again!
Bonus points if someone finds the toilet 😉
I mean you would still need to poop. But you wouldn’t have to worry about the time or your situation.
You’re pooping on the oval office’s desk arent you
Open a portal to the moon at the bottom of the ocean
I would make one portal in Tokyo or some busy city and other in another busy city and i will sell tickets to ride between the two. Or i will put them on some sheet of something that i can move so i can change destinations but in game if i move the surface under portal it will dissapear
I will nationalize your service for free to everyone
I’m going to be really sad when I fire my first shot from my single use portal gun only to find out the surface needed to be coated with moon dust.
