 Stargate (device) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stargates, as depicted in the Stargate science fiction universe, are large, ring-shaped devices that utilize advanced technology for nearly instantaneous personal travel across the vast distances of space.
The Stargate is the central plot generator of these productions, allowing for stories focused on a small team of protagonists exploring other planets and meeting other races on foot, rather than the more prevalent, grandiose "space opera" of interstellar starships seen elsewhere in science fiction.
The Stargate itself is nearly always filmed against a blue or green backdrop, not only making it easier to paste the kawoosh imagery onto the scene, but also facilitating the superimposition of the "event horizon ripple effect", which is entirely computer-generated.

After the Russians recovered the American primary Stargate from the Pacific Ocean when it was lost in the crash of Thor's starship Beliskner, they set up their own Stargate exploration program using the DHD to secretly "override" the backup Stargate the SGC was using whenever Russian SG teams were scheduled to dial back to Earth.
The backup Stargate's DHD was still with it when it was found in Antarctica, and was used briefly by NID operatives to conduct covert technology raids through the backup Stargate, but it has since run out of power and ceased to function.
The American Stargate program eventually suffered a mishap their makeshift dialling interface was unable to correct, with Teal'c becoming "trapped" in their Stargate's data buffer when a wormhole connection was aborted messily.

 The Goa'uld Homeworld : Technology
This is achieved by one Stargate dialling another's address, using a series of six coordinates that identifies the destination by relative positions and vectors between star constellations, and then an artificial wormhole is opened between the two Stargates.
Stargates that are too close together cannot dial each other since the six coordinates locating the gate in space will also refer to the dialling gate, and dialling your own gate is impossible.
The Ashrak, Goa'uld assassin of the highest rank, possessed a ring-shaped device that was primarily his weapon of torture and execution for the assigned victim.

 Stargate - SGCommand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The Stargate is central to the premise of the Stargate movie and its two spin-off series (Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis).
Opening the Stargate requires an amount of energy much larger than what is required to keep the wormhole open, resulting in an unstable energy blast vortex emerging at the "front" of the device.
Stargates stay open for a limited period of time; normally for a few minutes, but they are supposed to "time out" at about 38 minutes.

The stargate itself is the single most important plot device, piece of equipment, and drama engine in the game.
A stargate’s wormhole forms over the course of 1 half action, at the start of the dialer’s initiative count.
When a stargate establishes a wormhole, it creates a funnel that extends out 20 ft. forward of it, destroying all matter in its path, including characters.

 Dial Home Device (DHD) - StargateWiki
The DHD directs the Stargate's inner ring to spin to the desired coordinates and assures that the address is valid and that all conditions are acceptable before allowing the wormhole to engage.
The Stargate system sensed a problem, but the dialing computer did not have a complete interface, so it did not report what the problem was: that the current alignment of the two planets would cause the wormhole to travel through K'Tau's sun, causing catastrophic changes (5.05 "Red Sky").
The companion DHD for the Giza Stargate was unburied by the Germans earlier, in 1906.

A Stargate is a large, circular device with 9 triangular "chevrons" spaced evenly around it.
All Stargates have the exact same 38 symbols as all the rest, except for its point of origin glyph.
A gate address is six glyphs (six points in space that determine the destination of the other Stargate) plus a point of origin, the point in space of the Stargate that is dialing the address.

 Stargate SG-1 - SGCommand
(Stargate) This relic came to be in the hands of the United States Air Force who performed various experiments with it in the 1940s, determining that it was some kind of transport device.
He was later responsible for deciphering how to operate the device, allowing an exploratory team to use the gate to travel to the address on the gate's coverstone.
With the Stargate program continually expanding, and teams being added to the initial nine (as of the departure of the Atlantis expedition, at least seventeen were in existence), the SGC is now a major player in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.

 Stargate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Stargate is a sci-fi phenomenon for the 21st Century.
Each Stargate (with the exception of Earth's) is accompanied by a DHD (Dial Home Device), a piece of alien technology that controls the Stargate (Earth has gerry-rigged its own DHD).
SG-1 learns that the Stargate system was built not by the Goa'uld but by the Ancients, a race of human-like beings who learned to ascend to a higher level of existence; they became energy beings -- powerful, but who do not interfere in the affairs of others.

Mechanisms for producing artificially created, two-dimensional images in motion were demonstrated as early as the 1860s, with devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope.
These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns), and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision.
Naturally, the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation.

As it turns out, in the series, the alien Stargate device discovered in the film was not limited in travel to only one other planet, but could be programmed to connect to thousands of other planets around the universe.
Hence, the once dormant Stargate Command is re-activated to defend humanity against alien invasions, explore strange new worlds, and boldly go...well, you get the idea.
During the attack a member of Stargate Command is abducted and taken back through the Stargate with the hostile alien entities.

 Stargate SG-1: Season 7 | PopMatters Television Review
Stargate: SG-1's racial politics emerge in this strand, as the Goa'uld on Earth became Egyptian and South American gods, while the friendly Asgaards became Nordic deities.
Indeed, according to SG-1, all the planets connected by the Stargate support human life and are populated with descendants of those enslaved by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago.
In this regard, Stargate SG-1 resonates with current world events, as Stargate Command operates deep within the Cheyenne Mountain complex, the same place that hosts NORAD and tracked the kidnapped airplanes on 9/11.

Certain concepts of stargate travel were phased out over the course of the first season, such as the travelers feeling extremely cold and arriving with frost on their faces.
Also the concept of the travelers unable to keep their balance and always tumbling out of the stargate (unless, of course, they tumbled into the stargate to begin with).

The key to this 'stargate' is embedded in the inscriptions on the device, and Daniel Jackson (James Spader) is the only one who can decipher them.
The special effects are good if not innovative; the idea of the device and the method of transport is an effective use of special effects technology at hand, and much is carried on the story and the idea of the device rather than the actual computer or miniature effects.
The perhaps the best character is Viveca Lindfors, who plays the daughter of the original archaeologist who discovered the device; now an elderly woman, her dream comes true of activating the device.
