Building the world's tallest lift
- mey 12y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TauTona_Mine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TauTona_Mine wouldn't a deep mine like this have a longer lift system than 500m?
- kazinator 12y agoAlso, why can't the lift carry a motor and have a cog that meshes with a toothed rail? Too much cabin noise, I suppose. Though, the motor can be several floors above the cabin. Imagine we have, say, a motorized "cog crawler", from which the elevator cabin hangs by 10 meters of cable. At the highest floors, the cable retracts for the final lift, or there is some space for the crawler to tuck into.
