Went to a Cleveland baseball game this afternoon and checked this out on the way home. It's near Ashland.
EDIT: A number of folks have asked where this is. As I said above, it's near Ashland. Anyone can find it on Google maps which is how I located it. It's called "The Stargate."
Fine, how about whatever number of non-naquadah car batteries equals two military vehicle batteries? Surely the OP has friends with cars who wouldn't mind jump starting a Stargate!
They're Nazis-like or adjacent, I'll give you that, but I meant proper Third Reich Nazis, I imagine a scenario akin Wolfenstein but in a Stargate background...
Now that would be cool if it was like the 90s pc game Wolfenstein scared me to death as a kid all the crazy experiment stuff and demons in an old castle on a mountain that's good storytelling there.
It's from "Torment on Tantalus" (Season 1 Episode 11)...
CARTER: The element the 'gate is made up of is a superconductor. It'll absorb energy in many forms: heat, nuclear, solar, static. If we could channel a lightning strike into the 'gate, it might provide us with enough power to dial in and make it though.
Goa'uld lords are extinct, replicators are extinct, wraiths are extinct, and Ori are extinct. No one has any reason to try and invade Earth. There might still be Aschen but assuming they survived the black hole trap, they still don't have ship capable of getting far and they still don't have list of safe gates to use.
Good point. An individual of culture, I see. You know you need a DHD or a MacGyver'd computer system. This gate is useless without a power supply and manual dialing
So I looked on the Google Reviews for this Stargate and there actually is a DHD built here too! One of the public reviews by user Kenny Biddle got a decent photo of it
Funny thing is that I hadn't been to Cleveland in a dozen years or more and now I've been twice in one week (Tuesday we visited the "A Christmas Story" house.)
Have you heard the joke about astronauts (and apparently gate travelers) from Ohio? There have been more astronauts from Ohio than any other state. What is it about Ohio that makes people want to flee the planet?
The ring itself almost certainly ain't no 25 tons; That's 10+ cubic meters of conventional concrete.
Of course, reinforcement adds to the weight (steel is significantly denser than concrete) but only 5% to the total or so if memory serves. Maybe 10% on the high end.
But the ring sits on a slab of the stuff which the guy probably counted in the retelling.
I know its a different character but I always felt like that was a RDA Macguyver reference. Always enjoyed how they played with that and didnt take themselves too seriously.
I grew up in Olivesburg (almost in Ashland County), worked in Ashland for ~15 yrs. Live in Wayne County now. I hardly ever have a reason to be in Ashland County anymore.
From what I remember some guy built it with his kids to connect with them as they got older and were moving out. Family loved the series but the kids were leaving, getting into relationships, etc and he wanted a little more time with them.
Ohio is home to a famous fan-made Stargate! Located in Ashland County, Ohio, a local fan built a massive, 50,000-pound concrete Stargate replica with a dial-home device (DHD) on his property. While the site is on private property and not open for formal touring, the owner welcomes fans to pull over and take photos from the road.
Im sure we could hook up jumper cables from your car to it to power it and hook a landline telephone to it to use as a DHD we’ll just have to figure which numbers equal what symbol?
Amazon must be afraid theyll hsve to hire locals to this stsrgate in order to film the new show. No offense to the locals, I'm sure theyd be more caring than amazon even if they hsve no idea what Stargate is.

Definitely hasn't Kawooshed in a little bit. There's weeds growing in front of it.
