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.
Upon receiving it I would spend the first god knows how many hours trying to convince myself not to use it for sex things.
Beyond that, I think I'd definitely have to consider permanently renting a storage room in a country I want to visit often, and storing a portal in there.
I would put one portal on a pneumatically actuated plate above a dais that holds an object, and the other portal on a plate placed at a 45 degree angle. I would then see if an object on the dais would fly or fall out of the 45 degree portal, if the other portal actuated and closed the distance between its starting point and the dais.
How would you fix evaporation I'm dumb at this stuff
Anti-evaperation field, or just let rain do it's thing
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.
Take a portal to a black hole, keep the portal open for funsies.
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.
Open a portal to the moon at the bottom of the ocean
Portal to the edge of the universe?
Those portals travel slowly. Good idea. Lets wait till it arrives....
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...
Nobody went with sending trump and musk to mars?
