Handheld Portal Device

Firestorm: Images and more text to be added later

The [[Aperture Science]] '''Handheld Portal Device''' (Also known as ''Portal Gun'' or ''ASHPD'') is the experimental tool designed to place two [[Portal]]s that objects can pass through. Test Subjects use this device to navigate the many [[Test Chamber]]s that they are required to complete.

==Overview==

The Handheld Portal Device is designed to create and place Portals on any white [[surface]] that is immobile, flat and large enough. When the device is fired, a coloured projectile will be emitted from the barrel. If the projectile strikes a valid surface, a portal of the corresponding colour will be formed. If a portal of the other colour is already placed, these two portals will be linked. If a portal of the same colour is already placed, it will be closed and the new one will be used instead, limiting the player to the use of only two portals at a time. The glass chamber and a light on the top of the Portal Device will glow with the colour of the previously placed portal.

The Portal Device also has the ability to pick up and manipulate objects directly in front of it in the same manner as the [http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Gravity_Gun Gravity Gun] from the Half-Life series. It cannot launch objects like the Gravity gun, but cam carry heavy objects, even through Portals.

Material Emancipation Grill

Firestorm: Created page with "The Emancipation Grid in Portal 2 '''Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grids''' (Also known as Emancipation Grills or Fizzlers),..."

[[Image:Emancipation Grid.jpg|right|300px|The Emancipation Grid in Portal 2]]

'''Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grids''' (Also known as Emancipation Grills or Fizzlers), are shimmering, semi-transparent particle fields that appear in the Aperture Science testing facilites. They are found right before elevators at the end of each Test Chamber, as part of a test itself, and in some administrative areas.

==Function==

The primary function of the Emancipation Grid is to vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through it while allowing test subjects and the [[ASHPD]] to pass through. When something is vaporized, the object turns black, hovers in mid-air, and disintegrates, emitting small flames and sparks. In Portal 2, this is accompanied with a loud sound when the object comes in contact with the Grid. The Emancipation Grid will glow brightly in Portal 2 as objects approach it to warn the player that it will vaporize the object once they come into contact. Portals also cannot pass through the Grid.

The Emancipation Grid also causes the [[Portal Gun]] to shake, signalling that it has "rebooted", removing any portals that have already been placed. This functions to give each Test Subject a clean slate upon starting a new test. It also prevents Test Subjects from navigating the Aperture Science testing facilities quickly by using portals.

==Appearence==

===Portal===

In Portal, the Emancipation Grids appear as incandescent particle fields in many different locations.

===Portal 2===

In Portal 2, Emancipation Grids appear more solid in nature compared to Portal 1. They are coloured light blue and have a shimmering water-like appearance. In the Developer commentary, it was noted that they look this way to appear more "safe" to players, while still showing that there is a barrier to inanimate objects.

==Trivia==

* The Borealis was designed to contain Emancipation Grids, as seen in [[File:Borealis Blueprint|this blueprint]].

Heya, I'm Firestorm, a moderator on the Portal Wiki.

I'm your friendly, neighborhood moderator with 83% more awesomesauce than is probably healthy for me. Feel free to leave me a [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Firestorm&action=edit&section=new message] about anything I can help you with.

My grasp of English far surpasses that which is required for most conversations, as evidenced by my occasional lapse into obfuscation and excessively formal language at conveniently opportune times and by my distinct lack of hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (fear of long words).

Feel free to add me on Steam [http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/Kicker2 here]. You may also creep around my backpack [http://www.tf2items.com/id/Kicker2 here]. The number of hats one has is directly proportional to incredibleness.
