Oct 22, 2018 at 13:28 | comment | added | komodosp | @ColonelPanic - is the portal invisible? If I was a bank manager I'm not sure I'd sign off on a vault door with one of these things installed on it... | |

Oct 19, 2018 at 10:05 | comment | added | forest | @JohnDvorak A LiPo or Li-Ion battery cannot discharge instantaneously. Even if you short-circuited it (and it did not explode from the heat and stress), it would take a while to actually discharge fully. What you would need if you want instant discharge is a supercapacitor, and their storage capacities are orders of magnitude less than those of batteries. | |
Oct 18, 2018 at 7:49 | comment | added | komodosp | @JohnDvorak - I think you'd need a lot longer than 5 seconds - both portals need power for the entire duration of the transport, which is at "normal" speeds. So you'd probably need a few hours to get your nuke all the way to the other side. | |
Oct 17, 2018 at 14:52 | comment | added | computercarguy | Bomber are also (mostly) obsolete. A plane or drone with one of these portals could drop an "infinite" amount of bombs, as long as the factory behind it and the aircraft's power supply can keep up. Spy planes are also obsolete. Use the same portal-drone and just stick a camera through to get a good aerial shot of whomever you want. If someone shoots down the plane, you're out the portal, but not the footage, camera, or still loaded bombs. | |
Oct 17, 2018 at 14:14 | comment | added | John Dvorak | Actually... my old laptop could run for 5 hours off of battery power, and it used 20W tops. Just whip up a Li-Ion battery from your back pocket and stick it to the portal. Even if the battery is dead in five seconds, that's plenty of time to push a nuke through, and even leave through the same portal again. | |
Oct 17, 2018 at 14:08 | comment | added | John Dvorak | Now I'm stuck designing in my head a highly compact stationary bike. Scrap the seat, scrap the handlebars. They can lean against any old wall they find. Maybe you can even make a pair of pedals that looks like / doubles as a hoverboard. | |
Oct 17, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | John Dvorak | You don't even need to power your portal off the grid. A stationary bike can provide 400W power. You just need to find a vic ... lunteer. | |
Oct 17, 2018 at 12:53 | comment | added | Chronocidal | Okay, your second point is terrifying: Secretly buy a warehouse in your enemy's capital. Build a portal in it. Connect it to a portal in one of your military bases. Drop-kick a nuke through. Untraceable, with zero warning and zero accountability... | |
