Magnetic elevator can move horizontally in skyscrapers - VIDEO Elevator, ready to pick you up every 30 seconds, will be part of the skyscrapers of the future promises a German company ThyssenKrupp. In one mine will be more than one car that can move both vertically and thanks to the technology of a horizontal magnetic levitation.
The invention of German Engineers revolutionize modern architecture, because the central units of elevator shafts will no longer impose restrictions on the design. Residents will spend less time waiting and the imposition of a lift for the walls of the building to make room for apartments, offices and other facilities, according to the English site of RT.
The key to this breakthrough was the creation of a linear motor which ThyssenKrupp has used to create a monorail train Transrapid magnetic levitation, created in cooperation with Siemens. Each cabin will need only one motor to move both vertically and horizontally.
Cables are no elevators in this technology due to magnetic levitation (moving object using a magnetic field), and the use of light carbon materials at the cab structure will make mine a smaller volume.
The ideal height of buildings, for which it is supposed to construct lifts of the type begins with 300 meters. For horizontal movement, they must still be large in width. The first building, which will install a lift, will be a 240-meter tower, which is now under construction in the German town of Rottweil.
