I'm not sure what you're talking about here - I am not picturing what you 
are, I think.

I'm saying that if you put this (say) at the north pole, the beam would be 
falling towards the earth, so the earth would be falling towards the beam. 
Assuming it's not somehow reversing the effect when the beam enters the 
bottom portal and comes out the top, then the earth will continue to fall 
towards the beam. The portals will move faster and faster, even if the beam 
continues to fall at the same speed.
