The Skyscraper Elevator of the Future

The Inspiration
Elevators have allowed humans to expand ever-closer to the skies since the first passenger elevator was installed in 1857. Since then the technology has grown, and new types of elevators are on the horizon. However, conventional elevators only go up and down and the taller the building, the more shafts you need and the more space you will waste. Standard elevators also limit skyscrapers’ functionality, design and shape.

A new system invented and being tested would get rid of cables altogether and build elevators more like magnetic levitation trains.

How It Works

The elevator cabins work on a set of track much like a train system, and while the cabins themselves are smaller and slower than a traditional lift system, the capability for multiple cabins on the same track mean really short waiting times. When it wants to move horizontally a section of track rotates and the cabin goes sideways. (For better understanding, click here).

    Transporting multiple cabins in a single shaft, both vertically and horizontally bring multiple advantages including:
  • Increasing a building’s leasable space by up to 25%; 
  • Increase in transport capacity by up to 50% as well as reducing waiting times for passengers; and 
  • Reduce energy costs of buildings by incorporating a system that reduces peak power demand by up to 60%.
