point_push can be used to re-create the Pneumatic Diversity Vent from Portal 2.

point_push is a point entity available in all Source Source games except Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It is a push sphere that will push any physics props or entity that has a movement type set (e.g. NPCs) away from its origin. It will not push parented objects -- so if you want to keep some entities rooted, you can parent them temporarily to something static.
