Mini Stargate

The Mini Stargate was a miniature version of the Stargate created by Orlin.

Overview
This type of Stargate was created from various household electronic items and assembled into the form of a ring that was small enough to fit in the basement of a household. It was capable of interfacing with local energy sources but this was insufficient in powering the device completely. It was capable of connecting to the already established Stargate network and linking to any world that was dialled. However, the strain of the power requirements meant that the Mini Stargate was only capable of maintaining the connection for a brief period. After that time has passed, the machine shorted out and was damaged in the process preventing future use.


 * This suggests that its not advanced technology but rather a greater understanding that is required in building such advanced technology.

History
When Orlin descended into a corporeal form, he was taken under care by Samantha Carter where he remained in her household while under observation by the NID. While there, he made numerous requisitions through Ebay for various electronic items which he assembled in Carter's houses basement. This took the form of a small Stargate which he planned on using to gate towards Velona in order to prevent the SGC from studying the weapon on that planet.


 * It's unknown whether the Mini Stargate was a technology already known to the Ancients before they Ascended or it was only created by the enhanced knowledge known by Ascended beings.
