Portals are placed by firing the [[Handheld Portal Device]]; they work in pairs where they allow two-way movement through each portal. A player can place blue and orange portals in [[Singleplayer]], or in [[Co-op]]: As [[Atlas]], blue and cyan; and as [[P-body]], red and orange. Lone portals appear as a solid-coloured oval and paired portals a colour-bordered oval - with the "center" being a ''window'' to the other portal. Portals are capable of maintaining the mass and velocity of any object that passes through one portal and exits out the other. Portals are also capable of maintaining the flow of light and gravity, specifically the [[Excursion Funnel|Excursion Funnels]] and [[Hard Light Bridge|Light Bridges]]. | ||

This is caused by the Portal mechanic ''pushing'' the player away from a portal if the portal is re-placed somewhere else (or in this case, in the same place.) | ||
