    Omg thank you! On my recent ski trips i always wondered what is the mechanics of these cars how these cars are slowing down and this demonstration was the easiest to be understand for me on all UA-cam! Thanks man, keep up the great modelling videos! :)

      A search led me here. Thank you for the perfect explanation.. ! Well done..

    Thanks for this. Another item in this is how the cars accelerate back up to the cable speed. Each of the rubber tires turns a bit faster, so that when the grip grabs the rope, they are both going the same speed. Otherwise, the rope would quickly wear out.

      I've just been at a ski resort and was wondering about this. I assumed, and it seemed like, the last couple of meters of the rail before the cable car reattached to the cable was slightly down hill, allowing the cable car to accelerate back up to speed.

    Fantastic explanation! I just got back from riding Disney’s Skyliner gondola and the detachable grip looks exactly as you drew it. While my family was enjoying the ride (like normal people) I was trying to sort out how it all worked. I got pretty close, but your video got me the rest of the way. That you so much for this concise and informative video!

    I love riding these cable cars, the detachable ones always have this nice acceleration when they leave the station, it's kinda like being in an airplane.
    What fascinates me about these is that the clamps hold the car in place merely by a set of springs and applying friction. It's kinda weird to think that in the mountains, you're above ground by dozens of meters, a kilometer away from the ground station and all that keeps your car attached to the cable is a mere clamp lol.
    By the way, in the Kleinwalsertal in Austria, I've seen a cable car with a really clever design:
    Basically, two cable car lines that are connected via a mid-station. The cable car leaves the ground station, reaches the mid station (with it's return bullwheel for the ground station and another drive wheel for the upper station), where it is detached from cable 1 and slowly moves through the station, continues on straight towards the cable 2 and then continues upwards to the mountain top.
    You can easily and conveniently get into or out of the cable car in the middle of the ride and depending on necessity, the two lines can be run seperately, cause there's a set of switches in the middle station.

    This is very helpful, thank you. I've been fascinated by these cable car mechanisms since I saw them first in Switzerland 20 years ago. Now my 9 years old son is asking me how our variable speed chair lifts work exactly (as I already explained to him that the chair is temporarily transferred to a slower cable for boarding). Now we'll be able to watch this video. What's interesting, I got this suggestion without searching.

    • @quillmaurer6563
      @quillmaurer6563 Рік тому +1

      When I was a child I built a system like this on the stairs out of various construction toys I had (K'nex, TinkerToys, Capsela), but designed it as a purely fixed-grip system, and didn't have any chairs or gondola cabins attached, that would have been more difficult - just had a string moving. That would be a good starting point, next would be to try to design chairs or cabins. Detachable like seen here would be very difficult and complicated to build on a small scale, I'm not sure off hand if I've ever seen a working one, though I've seen plenty of videos of fixed-grip. I think I might have seen one that detached, but they didn't have working grips, just sort of sat on the rope, and hence couldn't climb very steep without sliding.

    Now I know how safe they are and it only detaches within terminals.

    But this video convinced me they are safe.

    I worked a Von Roll type 101 skyway over the summer. Pretty crazy how the cars from the 60s/80s have the same technology/engineering behind it in terms of the grips. Only difference is the wheel assembly gets lifted up with the lever moving in either direction to either be locked or unlocked on the cable.
