    The only way this would be applicable for Space & Astronomy is if you were looking to build a real one. In which case you need a reality check.

    If what you want instead is a full-scale working prop, then you'd better be good at set construction. Most such sets for television and film are built from welded tubular aluminum and/or steel structures around which is attached thin plywood skins and molded polystyrene facing that is later painted to look like other materials.

    I believe the shots of the gate elements in motion are done on a miniature. To do it at full size would require track-on-tires from which you would suspend the moving ring. The chevrons can move via rather pedestrian linear servos on a 12-, 24-, or 28-volt electrical system.

    Welding steel (and even aluminum these days) is within the normal handyman's skills, as is basic plywood construction. Custom polystyrene molding is quite expensive, but you could substitute cut blocks of expanded polystyrene. If you do that, you should coat the polystyrene with an epoxy undercoat before you apply the final paint.

    Write to everybody you can to contribute to a 1 billion dollar prize for an international competition open to everyone for the first person who contributes to the technology to get all life forms on this planet to a new planet, maybe something like a Stargate.

    sorry but your outta luck? only the ancients know how to build stargates, and even if you do get it working you'll need an enourmous amount of power like a ZPM or something. And even if you get that far, the number of gate dialing sequences is in the trillions so good luck with that! Or you could check youtube?

    I assuming that you are not looking for a working stargate. (Because that technology is non existent at the moment). On the TV show they built a mini one, and maxed out all of Carter's credit cards.

    However if you are looking to make a full sized replica I would suggest contacting Sci Fi channel. Because they may be accommodating to a fan in help of how it is designed, and what information is on it. Because it depends on where you are is the symbols on it. Because the Antarctic gate had a different symbols then the one at the base.

    What do you mean by a 'stargate'?

    As far as I know there is no actual technological device with that name. However, stargates (usually spelled 'star gates' with a space, I'll spell it that way from now on) are mentioned in a number of science fiction universes, in which they are usually devices built to somehow transport objects (most often spaceships) from one place to another faster than light, usually requiring a star gate both at the departure site and the destination. For example, in the computer game StarCraft, a building called the 'star gate' warps in alien spaceships to fight for the player. In the computer game Master of Orion II, a technology called 'star gate' automatically reduces travel time between friendly colonies to one turn. Star gates in fiction are usually based on some principle like wormholes, hyperspace/subspace or quantum teleportation, however so far scientists aren't even aware of any real hyperspace/subspace, have found no way to create real wormholes, and are not yet able to teleport any large objects using quantum mechanics. So for the time being, star gates remain firmly in the realm of speculative fiction and it is no more reasonable to expect to be able to build a homemade star gate than it is to expect to be able to build a homemade warp drive, phasor, antimatter bomb, disruptor cannon, black hole generator or stasis field.

    well im building one :)

    but out of wood and electronics..

    i have the moving ring logic (programmed into an microcontroller) already :)

    looking into a lot of sites for schematics.. on the actual model, and i will reduce size to max 3 meters diameter because 6 meter its to big :P

    Newsflash: stargates are the product of the imagination of someone who created a movie and a TV series. This is not factual science.

    Stargate goes in the same category as moon monolith (2001 a space odyssey), vampires, Frankenstein's creature, Bilbo the Hobbit and unicorns. They do not exist.

    Do you think for one minute that, if ANYONE knew that, they wouldn't be making tons of money off of the idea by having stargates all over the planet?

    Obviously you need Naquadah, which is hard to come by, but I could sell you some, it's only 10000$/kg (Prepayment only)

    While you are shopping you could also pick up some Dilithiumcrystals just in case you need a Warpdrive as well.
