{{Quotation|'''Cave Johnson'''|Oh, in case you got covered in that Repulsion Gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: [sound of rustling pages] "DO NOT get covered in the Repulsion Gel. We don't know exactly what element it is, but it's a lively one, and it does NOT like the human skeleton."|sound=Cave Johnson fifties_second_test_complete03.wav}}<br />
<br />
'''Repulsion Gel''' is a light blue substance that repels objects, and any player or object that hits a surface coated with Replusion Gel will bounce off. Jumping off such a surface launches the player higher than a normal jump, and the height of the jump is proportional to the distance a player falls before rebounding from the Gel. This allows the player to reach higher ledges and platforms by falling from a greater height. When used in combination of [[Propulsion Gel]], the player can travel a considerable distance, which is vital in situations in which [[Portals]] cannot be used. Objects such as [[Storage Cube]]s and [[Turrets]] can be covered in Repulsion Gel, which causes them to bounce around erratically.<br />
<br />
Crouching will negate the effects of Repulsion Gel, and is useful for situations in which players find it difficult to stop bouncing and require more control over their movements.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
Repulsion Gel can be applied to virtually any surface, and can be placed in different locations through the use of carefully-placed portals. The Gel is most useful when applied to surfaces at the bottom of pits, at the edges of large gaps, or to closely-spaced parallel walls, which allows the player to move between them by bouncing from one to the other. The Gel is primarily used to circumvent large gaps, and/or cover considerable distances.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
*Aperture's first attempt at a dietetic pudding substitute resulted in Repulsion Gel, a much sweeter, slightly less non-toxic form of fiberglass insulation that caused subsequently-ingested food items to bounce off the lining of the dieter's distended stomach and out his or her mouth.<br />
**For various reasons, this product also was pulled from the shelves.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
*The Repulsion Gel was based off of the green paint from [[Tag: The Power of Paint]], which functioned in a similar fashion.<br />
*Despite repeated warnings, being covered in Repulsion Gel will not cause any harm to the player, apart from briefly obstructing their vision.<br />
