Propulsion Gel is a bright orange gel that greatly reduces friction of objects moving on surfaces it is applied to. Propulsion gel also increases velocity, as objects covered in Propulsion Gel similarly have their friction reduced, causing them to slide around and be pushed more easily. Used in combination with Repulsion Gel, the player can achieve extreme distances where portal travel is impossible.

History
- Designed as a diet aid and marketed under the name "Propulsion Pudding", this sweet, largely non-toxic liquid form of fibreglass insulation increased the velocity of any food that followed it through the digestive tract, leaving the body no time to absorb calories.
- Propulsion Pudding was pulled from shelves when it was discovered that digestion plays several crucial roles in the eating process, such as breaking food down into small, manageable chunks before it is violently expelled from the human body.
