Forget about the usual elevator, it's all in the past! Here it is - Lift the Future!
Over the last 160 years since the establishment of the elevator of his basic concept remains the same. All this time, the lift was designed to move people just up and down, but the German company ThyssenKrupp announced that it was time for a change.
How to tell the representatives of the company, only the movement of the elevator up and down a mine is ineffective, as many people have long to wait for the elevator to come and take them to the desired floor. To solve this problem, experts have presented the concept of a completely new elevator system, each lift can be moved not only up and down but also sideways. In this case, one shaft can move several elevators without interfering with each other.
Another innovation in this area should become a mechanism of movement of lifts. As the resource Gizmag, the elevator car is driven with a magnetic cushion, similar to that used in high-speed maglev train. Using a magnetic cushion will completely abandon the wires and provide an opportunity to move several lifts in one shaft in different directions.
By design, the use of several elevators in one shaft will reduce the maximum waiting time for the elevator to 30 seconds.
At the moment, the technology is still under development and is scheduled to begin testing in 2016. However, we can already say that if the maglev-lift will be successfully tested, it will be the first major change in the lift business technology since the invention of the elevator.
