Amazing elevators in the world (24 pics + video 4)
Let's find out where and what lifts exist, other than those in which we are driving on a daily basis in their homes.
Baylong-lift
Most high-rise in the world of freely moving mountain lift, called "Baylong-lift", installed in 2001 in the beautiful national park of China (Vulingian area, Hunan Province). The two-storey cage can accommodate 50 people. It brings visitors to the observation deck, located at an altitude of 360 m.
The complex includes 3 lift capacity of 3750 kg each. Adds spice to the fact that the walls of the elevator are transparent, so strong in spirit, passengers together with a small dose of adrenaline may enjoy contemplating opening their mountain scenery.
The fact that at this time there with the others, we will not mention. It is also interesting that about a third elevator is inside the mountain, while the rest, a large part is outside
Lift Elevador de Santa Justa in Lisbon.
Santa Justa Lift (port. Elevador de Santa Justa), or otherwise, Elevador do Carmo (port. Elevador do Carmo) - an elevator lift in Lisbon (the parish of San Nicholas), acts to assist pedestrians to overcome steep slope since 1902, linking the Rua do Ouro (below) with the Largo do Carmo (above). Connects low-lying areas of Baixa and Chiado high.
Author of the project - Raul Mesner du Ponsard. In 2002 the property was recognized as a monument of national importance.
Construction of the lift is made of cast iron facades of buildings are decorated in neo-Gothic style. The height of structures - 45 m, height between the binding levels - 32 m.
The lift is designed for two elevators. Initially, the elevators moved by the steam engine, and since 1907 they operate by electric motors. The inside of the elevator car are trimmed in wood and mirrored panels. The capacity of each of the elevators: 19 seats and 10 standing places. Limitations on the number of passengers per flight: the rise - 20, during the descent - 15.
Santa Justa Lift is used for other purposes by local residents - in everyday movements - and tourists (the latter, apart from himself, also attracted panoramic city views from the top platform, go to the street network).
Transportation service is provided, limited and not free.
Elevator Skyscraper Sky Tower, New Zealand.
If you are not afraid, ride the elevator to the New Zealand Skyscraper Sky Tower, just be sure to be a transparent section on the floor and watch your step.
Even people with the strong nerves are not able to safely survive the feeling of a rapid fall in the abyss, because the height of the skyscraper Sky Tower «only" 328 meters.
Lift the Louvre
Louvre (fr. Musee du Louvre) - one of the largest art museums in the world (third in the world by floor space: 160,106 square meters, of which 58,470 are located in the exhibition).
The museum is located in the heart of Paris on the right bank of the Seine, on Rue de Rivoli, in the 1st district of the capital. The museum building - the old Royal Palace (Palais du Louvre). Equestrian statue of Louis XIV, represents the starting point of the so-called historical axis of Paris, but the palace is not aligned on it.
Talking about the various elevators, we could not ignore their attention Louvre and its unusual futuristic elevator, which seemed to grow out of the floor, transporting tourists up to the next floor of the museum.
Elevator - Aquarium AquaDom (Berlin, Germany)
The world's largest aquarium cylindrical set, by the way, inside a closed building works in Berlin. It works. Inside it goes lift for tourists to survey the beauty of the underwater world of colorful fish and coral divers, cleaning the glass.
Aquarium AquaDom is the decoration of the central foyer of the five-star hotel and office center DomAquaree.
The total height of the building - more than 25 meters, and an outer diameter of 11 meters.
The height of the glass walls of the aquarium itself is 16 meters, as the bottom of the AquaDom lifted up on a giant "leg" of almost 9 meters above the floor of the giant hall.
The Aquarium is formed by two transparent cylinders nested one inside the other.
In the heart of the elevator shaft passes. 30-bedded transparent storey cabin slowly brings visitors from the hall at the bottom of the aquarium to transit through the upper observation deck, beneath the large glass dome of the building.
Inside the aquarium lapping almost a million liters of water. And living here more than 2 thousand 100 species of fish.
They were selected very carefully. Firstly, to create a more or less working ecosystem, and secondly - there appeared to types who love different depths.
When traveling tourists inside the aquarium, it is important to the life of "seething" at all "floors».
In the underwater world of AquaDom builders carefully built basaltic rocks with numerous caves and fissures, that was where the small fish to hide from predators.
Clean the glass of the aquarium professional divers who rise at the top have to make a stop for decompression. After all, here is water depth of 14 meters.
The water in the tank is very transparent. This is because of the cleaning of the complex, which is hidden in the base construction.
All tysyachetonnaya mass AquaDom water passes through filters in just one hour.
In the dream aquarist attended by different firms, but in the engineering plan has been a key US company Reynolds Polymer Technology.
It specializes, among other subsea equipment, giant glasses for tourist submarines, commercial aquariums and aquariums.
The outer cylinder AquaDom assembled from 26 sections of acrylic, and the inner wall of the tank 15. The thickness varies from 16 to 22 centimeters.
The total weight of 150 tons of glass. However, no visible seams between the multi-ton pieces of acrylic, from which collected a huge "cup" is not visible.
All the building is perceived as a monolithic wall of glass. Method invisible "spikes" units - the know-how of the American firm. By the way, the construction of the world's largest aquarium took 11 months.
AquaDom - not only the underwater world at the DomAquaree.
There are still many unusual plants, united in the so-called "Sea Life Centre» (Sea-Life Centre).
It opened simultaneously giant AquaDom - the end of 2003.
There is also no boring rows of rectangular aquariums. Instead - rooms with windows and intricate interweaving corridors curving transparent dome, which is inhabited by thousands of sea inhabitants - from mussels to sharks and, in some sections - river and lake fish.
Your hosts say it is quite natural that these fantastic aquariums subtly inspire travelers at sea depths idea of respect for nature.
However, I think, as a means to attract residents and tourists - unusual underwater world too good fit.
