Did you built the gondola and unhooksystem to the valley and mountain station without any guidance? Do you have more detailed pictures, who explain more precisely how to build it? I have to mention that I’m 12 years old.
On my gondola that I am making I can't get the conveyer to work properly get and the blocks you used for your wheel device on your gondola can you please send me the parts you used for both and how they work. Thanks love your gondola. :)
And ProMinecrafter36: There's one Power Functions XL driving the haul rope (IIRC, it's in the top terminal) and one PF/M motor in each terminal driving the conveyor system.
ProMinecrafter36 Correct. If they were allowed to operate at different speeds, the gondolas would get out of sync very quickly. There are disconnect switches though, so either conveyor motor can be turned off for a short period of time, to increase spacing between gondolas that have already left the station, or decrease spacing between gondolas that are approaching.
Auto interval was a system on an earlier chairlift which would briefly stop the conveyor in one terminal if a sensor found that a chair had arrived too early, ensuring roughly equal spacing between the chairs.
How did you keep the gondola's from slipping down the cable. They don't appear to be attached. I coach a Lego Robotics club and they are stuck on this problem for their sky lift.
They are not actually "attached" to the haul rope. The grip consists of two fixed wheels, each lined with a small rubber band. With a 2 millimeter cable, this works very well, and I've never seen a gondola slip down in normal operation. But I can imagine on a very steep slope or with heavy gondolas, this method may not work reliably.
The attachment and detachment of the grip is not as difficult as you might think. The grip simply "rests" on the cable, it does not positively engage, so the biggest challenge is aligning the grip with the rope properly. Tension is an entirely different story, but once you've built the terminals strong enough, it comes down to keeping them in place with some heavy rocks.
ProMinecrafter36: There's no reply button on your comment, so I hope you see this. The trick to re-wiring the motors is to cut off the plug at the end, leaving about an inch of wire for the plug so you can solder it back on if you want to. The motor, in fact, only has two wires, even though the insulation allows for four. Plug these into any 9V power source that can supply at least 2 amps for an XL motor, or 1 amp for a regular motor. I actually used a 12V supply, which works well, but appears to damage the medium-size motors over time. To reverse direction, simply swap the wires' polarity. About the music, I can't tell you because of copyright issues, sorry ;)
It was created from scratch, and is now demolished. But if you'll wait just a few more weeks, we'll have something else for you to buy, so stay tuned...
Hi Timmy! I love the lift. I still cant figure out how to rewire lego motors to standard electric pushbuttons. I built myself a Doppelmayr fixed-grip single with a control panel just like yours, but cant get it to function with the motors correctly. And one last thing. Can you tell me how/where you get the music for your videos? Thanks;)
It can carry about 50 grams, so the total gondola weight is about 150 grams. But if you try to run it with all 8 gondolas loaded to that weight, the gearbox will start making some weird noises :)
Thanks Erich. The rope ends are connected by a quirky combination of tape, sewing (between the nylon threads), and superglue. You can see this splice appearing in the right of the picture at 0:39.
@@TheTimmy376 tx. good to know others are struggling too ;). I was looking for a better solution and found that paracords are great because you can simply melt the two ends together over a candle - I bought this one and the melted connection is surprisingly strong: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O8M11JA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you mean the buzzer at 2:54; it is triggered by the arrival of the transport gondola. There is only one, and it doesn't have automatic doors. Instead, its grip hits a switch when it enters the terminal, which sounds the buzzer.
That's because it's the transport gondola :) This is the one exception that doesn't have automatic doors. Instead, it hits a switch when in enters the terminal which triggers an alert sound (see 2:50)

8 years later and this is still awesome!
10 years now!
I just love the door open and close system! Very well made!
Thanks :)
Me too
Great! Another great build of lego gondola with workable doors! Makes me want to build one as well...
This needs to become an official set. LEGO hasn't done ski sets in years...
Awesome! This is amazing, I've always wanted to build a ski lift as I'm an advanced skier & love k'nex & legos. This is great!
Thanks
Greg Golfomitsos same here!
Gopherguts 2 third!
Door close and open system is amazing
This music gives me nostalgia

Bonjour, bon travail ! Quo man vous avez réussi à faire saint télécabine. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You need to publish this to LEGO!
The door open/close was very clever.
Thanks
Fantastic!
The only thing I would do is a longer station and a bigger speed reference between station and cable. Well done!
I always thought about this and you built it for real, nice!
And I can't build a fixed double :(
I love the slowing down system
Completely amazing!
Please make instructions for this. Its so cool. Thats hard job to make automatic doors and high-tech control system
Oh, good gravey! How the, where the, what the. That is amazing.
Was sind das für rädee die du als klemme benutzt hast?
On my gondola that I am making I can't get the conveyer to work properly get and the blocks you used for your wheel device on your gondola can you please send me the parts you used for both and how they work. Thanks love your gondola. :)
Hey, cool project!! I want to make 1 for my own but I don’t know how to do it. Can you make instructions with partlist for me? thank you in advance.
Nice job, especially for the doors, which are not simple to include at all !
Thanks! Love your seaplane by the way ;)
Thank you ;)

hi, i think your gondolas are wonderful, do you have assembly instructions
And ProMinecrafter36: There's one Power Functions XL driving the haul rope (IIRC, it's in the top terminal) and one PF/M motor in each terminal driving the conveyor system.
So all three are controlled together?
ProMinecrafter36
Correct. If they were allowed to operate at different speeds, the gondolas would get out of sync very quickly. There are disconnect switches though, so either conveyor motor can be turned off for a short period of time, to increase spacing between gondolas that have already left the station, or decrease spacing between gondolas that are approaching.
Auto interval was a system on an earlier chairlift which would briefly stop the conveyor in one terminal if a sensor found that a chair had arrived too early, ensuring roughly equal spacing between the chairs.
good job. like a ingenieur
Love it its awesome I want more gondola vids like this make a bigger one plz big fan of you

lol die Seilbahn ist so mega gut 😀
Danke ;)
Dein video finde ich super
Ja, echt mega!
keiner kann so coole seilbahnen bauen wie du
The detatching method must be difficult to get right. And also keeping tension on the cable

The grip simply "rests" on the cable, it does not positively engage, so the biggest challenge is aligning the grip with the rope properly.

One more question. How many motors are there on the lift?
kannst du deutsch
+Creep503 Ein Bisschen, hoffentlich gut genug
How many chairs are on it?
please refer to the position of the entire cableway link to the position
Hello do you have the building LEGO Detachable Gondola / Ski Lift
Can you send it to Lego or create a tutorial or a book of instructions for this amazing machine?
Impressive :) I´ve built similar lift once, so I know it takes a lot of work :D
This is crazy, what type of rope did you use?
Amazing very realistic light opening door you need a like but show more The system How it work
Thanks
this is sick bro
Now this is awesome
Best sklift ever
Thanks
Geez how do u have the time for this
I try to do ski lift from normal lego, but i doesnt work 😔
interesting at min : 1:08 - 1:24
This is awesome! Where do you get the control panel and gear box from? Also which lego technic kit did you use?
Can you buy this item online or is it created from scratch?
It was created from scratch, and is now demolished. But if you'll wait just a few more weeks, we'll have something else for you to buy, so stay tuned...
@@TheTimmy376 I will!
I am mohammad sharifi,Enginer meckanik in iran please give me informeation about yan lift
That is very awesome
If a fixed grip takes like 3 days (finding parts+building) this must have taken
Hi Timmy! I love the lift. I still cant figure out how to rewire lego motors to standard electric pushbuttons. I built myself a Doppelmayr fixed-grip single with a control panel just like yours, but cant get it to function with the motors correctly. And one last thing. Can you tell me how/where you get the music for your videos? Thanks;)
How long did it take for you to make this?
If I recall correctly, a couple of weeks. Of course, that was with prior experience building fixed-grip lifts.
Ok. Just do it with whichever lift you have recently built is what i am saying
So cool
can i have the instruction please?
Sorry, there are no instructions, the construction was a process of trial and error.
where did you get the set?
brandon lim There is no set, this lift was built from scratch
so cool!
very cool!
Super cool
nice man good job!
thanks ;)
Love it!!!
(especially since the chairlifts I attempted to make don't work)
Sweet.. Can it carry weight?
It can carry about 50 grams, so the total gondola weight is about 150 grams. But if you try to run it with all 8 gondolas loaded to that weight, the gearbox will start making some weird noises :)
mind blown! amazeballs!

TheTimmy376 Du kannst deutsch reden wenn du kannst :D
One word: WOW.
Hast du das selber gebaut? :D
bauen sie Prototypen für Doppelmayr?? sehr gutes Seilbahn prima ich hab es auch mal versucht es nachzubauen! Weiter so !! ;)
Danke!
One of the gondolas don't have automatic doors !!
That's because it's the transport gondola :)

Ok thx
wow, very nice. respect !!! :))
Thanks
das mit der tür ist gut gelöst
+drachen freund 67 Danke
da wehre ich nie drauf gekommen

Danke. Und ich arbeite nicht bei Doppelmayr, nur ein Fan ;)
And Timmy, do you need Bluetooth for this? I think not.
No, the buttons simply control a few relays that turn the motors on and off. The two terminals are connected with a few wires.
I want you to put your camera on your recent lift. What I mean is: put the camera on one of the chairs/gondolas maybe?
We've done that before, but the picture quality really wasn't good enough to upload to UA-cam...
Oh dear
Super Bahn!👍🏻 Abkaufen?
WOW good
cool
SO COOL!!!
thanks
TheTimmy376 how long did it took for you to think how everything works and how long did it took for you to build it? :3
The whole construction and tuning process took a few weeks.
