The '''[[Aperture Science]] Material Emancipation Grill''' (also known as '''Emancipation Grills''' or '''fizzlers''',) are shimmering, semi-transparent particle fields that appear in the Aperture Science testing facilities. Emancipation Grills disintegrate any object and blocks any portal that passes through, while allowing the player and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass without issue.

== Function ==


The primary function of the Emancipation Grill is to vaporize unauthorized aperture science equipment that passes through it while allowing test subjects and the [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] 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 Grill. When a Sentry Turret passes through the grill, it emits a long, funny "ooowowowowowow" sound as it disintegrates. The Emancipation Grill 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 Grill.

The Emancipation Grill also causes the Handheld Portal Device to shake, signaling that it has "rebooted", and that any portals that have been placed have now been removed. This functions to give the player a clean slate upon starting a new test. It also prevents players from navigating the Aperture Science testing facilities quickly by using portals.
