An Emancipation Grid (also Emancipation Grill or more commonly, Fizzler), is a special energy field in Portal 2 which resets the portal gun of any player (destroying both portals) and vaporizes other objects that touch it.
In Portal, the Emancipation Grid is composed of two models, a trigger-textured invisible trigger_portal_cleanser and a particle system emitter (info_particle_system).
In Portal 2, however, it is composed of two models, and a visible version of the same entity (trigger_portal_cleanser), using the material (effects/???fizzler???). Two sides of the brush are covered with a texture fit (not a pattern) on the corresponding visible faces, the other faces are using nodraw (or invisible???).
The height of the brush, however, should be 128 units high. If a fizzler is in a stacked form, several entities should be used as the portal gun will make the field flash white when firing on it; For consistency, official maps use this approach.
