@funcik1 The cables loop around the bottom of the lower car and around the top of the upper car. The counterweights either go side by side in the shaft or on the sides of the shaft.
@funcik1 There is an express elevator that only has one elevator in the shaft. This allows you to get to upper/lower floors if there is another elevator in one of the TWIN shafts blocking the way.
Another alternative is to deepen the pit by one level so that the upper cab can serve the lowest floor, and to raise the overhead by one level so that the lower cab can serve the top floor.
This is so cool! They don’t have buildings both tall and busy enough to warrant them here, but I do want to ride one of these systems. Just remember these can’t go through each other. As disappointing as it is, they’re still limited by the laws of physics. Only thing I don’t like is the implementation of destination dispatch. I hate, *hate, HATE* touch screens! (I will also note that this absolutely in no way replaces my love of vintage elevators)
They may cut your build costs down on how many cores you need but you pay for it in the long term with service maintenance and inspection, tied in with Thyseen
They are. But it only makes sense in rather tall buildings with relatively new installations as older buildings would have been built before that. There is at least one in Atlanta, and probably others that I do not know about.
I just can't see how this would be more efficient, unless the knowledge gleaned by a destination dispatch system can be leveraged that effectively... Maybe if most travel doesn't involve lobby level... I dunno, I worked at a place using two floors in same building so maybe
Rember that handy destination system they showed at 1:05 that will tell the elevator you want to go to the top floor and asaghine you the upper most elevator to serv you.
@ElectroMecca It is efficient because you have extra elevators. If you want to travel from an upper floor to a lower floor and there is another elevator blocking the path, you are directed to the express elevator, with only one elevator in the shaft. This means that you will not need to take two journeys to get to your destination. If you want to learn exactly how the system works, download this game: whytheelittle(dot)co(dot)uk/TWIN
But let's say i want to go to the top floor I have to wait for the lift which is top cabin, cos then the lower lift would not be allowed to go on the top , becasue top cabin will block the way :D Get it haha :D
That would definitely be a pain to try to implement. Definitely going to need to be roped (holeless hydraulic is limited to around 4 floors, so such a system is pointless to install)

One more question , please tell me how are the ropes placed on the lower cabin and where is the second counterweight ?
Why isn't this in the U.S? I wanna ride one so bad now!

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

@rabbit9168 It won't fall, just like any other elevator
You can choose for one of the above gifts
Nice video of the day.

It appears to be working for me. You may have misspelt it.
Any idea where in the UK this has been installed?
Lee Thomas Yes, The Royal London Hospital has em, just look for lift set/lobby 5.
@@rahan573 there is also one at the st botolph building
7 meters per second! That’s actually pretty fast!
Say goodbye to shaft riding
if you squat down really low
Johnny Ferguson Beno (a lift Surfer) still makes it because there is a gap
-oh I would want to put this in my building...but I don't have one!-
website no work.

Get it haha :D
funcik1 There is under the lowest floor one more floor as parking for the lower cabin and vice versa
That twin lift technology is so cool too bad they don't install any in the US or Canada
Actually, TK just installed the USA's first Twin system in Atlanta, Georgia back in 2019.
Also these are traction twin elevators imagine them as hydraulic twin elevators
That would definitely be a pain to try to implement. Definitely going to need to be roped (holeless hydraulic is limited to around 4 floors, so such a system is pointless to install)
Beautiful technology but it wish they were Available in Canada
...I guess they didn't see SPEED!
I copypasted what you posted wtf inbox it to me please :)
