| Sep 13, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | jdunlop | @AIwithstick - follow-up question: you specified that they "don't use spacecraft". Do they have spacecraft? If they don't, do gates need to be assembled at both ends of a teleportation trip? | |
| Sep 13, 2019 at 18:15 | comment | added | jdunlop | @Alwithstick - you may want to update the question with those stipulations. A lot of the answers you're getting are frame changes, and I am inferring from your question as it stands that you want to get your power from the storms on the gas giant, not from its other properties. | |

| Sep 13, 2019 at 17:03 | comment | added | AIwithstick | You can ride a road on car or teleport there instantly and they would cost really close amount of energy | |
| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:57 | comment | added | Starfish Prime | @AIwithstick the important question is whether teleporting, say, 1000km straight up requires less energy than the gravitational potential energy you'd have once you'd got there. If it does, then you've created an infinite energy source that is much safer and easier than visiting a gas giant. If you don't want perpetual motion machines, design your teleporters carefully. | |

| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:46 | comment | added | AIwithstick | Teleportation needs energy from crystals. Peoples don't use space craft because they need maintenance and they are way more dangerous than teleportation | |
| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:32 | comment | added | AIwithstick | Crystals that store energy is as big as bottles. The teleportation is one person teleportation so person + what they can carry like a dozen of crystals or supply's for a day | |

Edited for clarity and grammar, with focus on the question

| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:27 | comment | added | jdunlop | I realize that this is a flavour thing you're going for, but if you have below-cost teleportation (gates that move things from point A to point B for less energy than it'd cost to transport them the conventional way), that's an infinite energy machine and you don't need a gas giant. | |
| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:19 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | You are saying that you want to harvest the energy of a gas giant's atmosphere, but not it's matter (substance) is that right? You are also saying that the gates can transport crystals, but not floating-islands or other technology or people, is that right? | |

| Sep 13, 2019 at 16:13 | comment | added | AIwithstick | I was thinking about more of wind and storm energy and crystals are for electrical energy like batteries. As for the gates they are purely for transportation of Cristals (batteries). | |
| Sep 13, 2019 at 15:41 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | Do you mean literally acquire it's substance for use? Your gates would seem to be the key. What conditions can they withstand and what are the conditions and what's it like in the gas giant at the point in it's depth you need access to to get the substances you're after? How do the crystals absorb energy? Can they absorb heat by conduction, radiation or how? At the moment you seem to be asking about two things: the substance of the gas giant and energy, what is your objective here? We would need to understand better what you are asking. | |

Grammatical clarrification.
