@@maxomega3 I'm not sure. Every scene could be a split-screen except the last one because the figure ist mooving an the lift. Maybe it's completely stop motion and the sound was recorded seperately? Or the elevator was stopped when the figure goes in the elevator. At 9:37 the elevator stops for one frame.

@BritishAPT 2 месяца назад

I would guess that the parts with the mini figure are entirely stop motion (or at least definitely when the figure is moving) as the elevators sound different in those segments (at least to me)

as a lift enthusiast, it was fun to see how a lot of these ideas are ones actually used for real elevators. #2 is like climbing elevators commonly used in building construction, #6 is like hydraulic elevators and #7 is like traction elevators which is the most common type :D also #10 is like a paternoster

@squeaksquawk4255 2 месяца назад

If you ever make a part 2, please build a Paternoster Lift. It's a loop of lift cars on a continous loop, where there are two shafts (One up and one down) next to each other and cars switch between the two. It's like the belt lift at the end, but you don't have to stand on the ceiling. Also I know it's a bit ambitious for LEGO, but it would be cool to see a Linear Induction Motor lift, which are currently being tested in various parts of the world.

@logic_matters 2 месяца назад

@dustykercheif7044 2 месяца назад

The “pneumatic” and “with counterweight” were basically how most commercial elevators work. Scissor lifts are also commonly used in construction type stuff

@qazxswedcxzaqws 2 месяца назад

Boring engineering answer: Regarding holding the most weight, it just depends on how much weight the mechanism is designed to carry; typically, if you want more weight, make it bigger. Also, the safest is the one that receives proper maintenance the most :) (But assuming no maintenance, then Pneumatic / Hydraulic since they likely won't fail suddenly and will fall slowly when they leak.)

9. Rotating lifts actually get used in modern times! They can be used to lift ships to higher elevated waterways where if would be impractical or impossible to have rows and rows of sleuce gates for whatever reason. Both Sides are filled with water and because a ship displaces it's tonnage in water the sides are roughly equal in weight, which helps the engines move so much weight! Thought I'd share this interesting detail, because seeing a ship elevator for the first time blew my mind:)
