	The '''Excursion Funnel''', also known as the '''Tractor Beam~~''' or '''Sucky Blowie~~''', is a game [[Mechanics\|mechanic]] introduced in ''Portal 2''. The mechanism creates a wide cylindrical beam of blue light that the player may enter or exit at any time. It seems to defy the laws of gravity, allowing anything/anyone who enters to become weightless and travel along the path of the Funnel. Anyone or anything caught inside the Funnel travels in the direction that the Funnel is flowing in, unless the Funnel is reversed, which is usually accomplished through the activation of a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button\|button]].
