Even though the Shanghai Tower ranks number two in terms of height, it still hold the record for the highest observation platform as well as the World's Fastest elevator.
God that was fun. I remember lifting my butt off the chair on the way down on purpose so that while it’s falling you literally feel weightless and as if you’re falling mid air. So fun 😂
This is the fastest elevator in the world for now, and it goes up to 18 m/s by going up, and goes up to 10 m/s by going down which is insane, but I had been here during christmas recently, and there are three elevator cars there.
That did escalate so quickly, but it does go like 18 m/s and it just does feel the acceleration, but my ears only popped a little when going up and down, and not so hard which just feels like taking a subway, high-speed train, or an airplane.
How does it feel when you're descending in such a fast elevator? At my university they have pretty fast elevators and I always feel like I'm freefalling when I use them, so I can't imagine this
You can only feel the acceleration by descending, and it is just like 10 m/s when going down, which I am a little free falling, and it is smooth by the way, but you can only feel like the speed is accelerating when going down, and then the speed will feel constant when it reaches at 10 m/s.
@@markli4618 Sounds logical, because my university's elevators only travel for 50 meters at most before stopping whereas in a skyscraper its much longer
@@thepoweroftheweed2215 So your university with 50 meters which was more like 12 through 15 stories high by the way, but in a skyscraper its better if the elevators are fast.
It has to do with how the inner ear adjusts to change of pressure during decent. Too fast will cause discomfort. Just like with an airplane. It hurts when going down, but not so much going up.
It’s actu due to the counter weights in the elevator. It has to pick them up and it is harder to pick them up than drop them since they move the opposite way the elevator does.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Taipe 101 hold the guinness world of records for the world's fastest passenger elevator which have a maximum speed of 1010m/min🤔
so if correct, if the elevator is moving at a rate of 18 meters a second, that means that the elevator is moving at a speed of about 40 Miles per hour, is that correct, is so no wonder your ears would POP....lol Dont know if this is actually correct, but found out that the World's Fastest elevator is the one at the CTF Finance Center in Guangzhou China, which if correct, 72 KPH equals to about 44 miles per hour, which is even a bit faster than this one in the video, this one azt the Financial center, they say, is 32 times faster than a conventional elevator,
the fastest elevator now is in dubai burj khalifa, burj khalifa is also the tallest building in the whole world, and inside burj khalifa there is the fastest elevator in the world
