Today we're scaling up a video Nate made a few years ago and seeing if it will actually work. Using a combination of fixed and moving pulleys, it seems possible to build an elevator without using any electricity.

Peep those A+ elevator jokes at the end of the video, and reply to this comment if you have a better one 😂

I love this!!! My uncle and I are going to be building and earthbag house starting in about a year, IF the LORD is willing and things line up so that we may do so. anyway, most of the building will be done by us, and I knew there was a way to use pulleys to raise stuff that will be over our heads, but I wasn't exactly positive of how that would work....This shows me I had it pictured correctly in my mind. Yay me. lol!!!! My Grandad, Mom and Dad had used various techniques to make things easier to do/to build and would help us with everything, but they have passed on, so this has truly helped me to confirm memory of things they taught me growing up. Thank you and many blessings!!!

Never needed electricity just basic physics and knowledge of gravity.

Seriously! The Colosseum in ancient Rome made extensive use of elevators, long before electric power was available.

Well, and a crank to crank the weight back up. Might as well just used the crank to crank yourself up to the treehouse. :) Just a manual chain hoist would have been easier and safer.

[@seancampbell4564]

You could also put the mounting beam for the down elevator twice as high as the up one. That way it uses twice as much rope to go down and the weight rises the same amount.

Some sort of treadle to power the winder might be a good way to go for lifting the weight.

This is so cool I wish I had this when I was a kid

[@SunflowerSunflower101]

I'm 61 years old & moving to a 3rd story apartment. Can you please make a simple pulley system to use as a grocery hoist over a balcony? I'm thinking a small block & tackle would work, but can't figure what to mount it on that won't put wear & tear on the balcony. Freestanding? I have no tools to build anything elaborate. Would greatly appreciate - that would be a lifesaver.

[@justina.6769]

I have an idea! Nate said bigger wheel and longer spokes, so I thought of Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom where they were lowering and raising people above the lava pit 🙂

Something to get the weight all the way up, if itd work getting another pully system on the return rope, something effektivly doubling the lengh of the rope pull for the decent

Have a way for disabled people to enjoy a tree house just like any other kid

[@emmawoodruff8042]

That's a cool idea!

[@aeislugh]

a couple years ago, a friend and I stepped into an elevator going down. and we thought....its not really an elevator if its going down.... so it must be a delevator. But I wasn't sure delevate was actually a word. So I looked up what the opposite of "elevate" is when I got home..... and its "depress". So when you are taking an elevator -down- you are being.......Depressed!

[@westonding8953]

Fun!

[@sniper_shot_photography]

The puns at the end just made the video, lol.

[@riuphane]

If you added one more pulley, the difference between force on the black rope vs the orange rope would be 33% instead of 50% so could you then make it more balanced between the 2? Also, the weights could be configurable so you could just swap them out for different individuals?

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

Mini Nate looks freaky 🤣

[@The_Dis.]

Could you try a few more molten things, maybe make a cool alloy(indium and gallium) or molten salt explosions?

[@AzonZ1]

@TKOR (Video Idea) make a super sized goldfish snack!

[@Josstrigaming]

It would include some muscle strength/endurance but one could also use some snatch blocks and pull yourself up that way too probably

[@docink6175]

A pedal-powered elevator is so much easier-to-use

[@nickwallace745]

If you had a two story tree house your decent line could be twice as long so you would not have to have a hand crank at all.

[@pants6416]

This is basically the idea I had, but mine had part of a playground swing to sit (or stand) on.

[@lieffian]

I would use peddle power and the bike breaks to keep you from following to bring you up and down but use the crank for cargo

[@ClearAimQ]

Cool!

[@jesseelliott2424]

I had a rope I put around a branch and made a loop at the bottom, I would pull myself up with the opposite end and have my foot in the loop and I could climb all the way up the tree like that

The rope broke and I landed thankfully on my feet without any injury

[@shoking9825]

thats epic

[@mikethecoolkitten7455]

Nice video

[@IsaacKuo]

I feel like I'd rather use water weight. That way, there's just one rope and one pulley. But there are buckets attached to both ends. To go down, you open a valve to pour water into your bucket (this can be a garden hose). You can adjust speed to what you're comfortable with. To go up, you unlatch the line and then you open a valve to release water from your bucket. Again, you can adjust speed to what you're comfortable with.

[@minecraftgirl8733]

Cant use it in the winter

[@IsaacKuo]

@@minecraftgirl8733 Not a problem where I live, but I see what you mean. In colder climates, you could keep the water from freezing with anti-freeze.

[@niki123489]

Imagine that rope grabs your foot and suddenly you get upside down. That would be pretty funny and ...dangerous. Be carefull kids.

[@Bry.89]

Oof, sad to see one of my favorite channels dying... :(

[@nikkidl13]

If only one person uses the system isn't it easier to have a contraweight of similar weight than the person who uses it and then pull yourself up or lower yourself down from a separate rope? This way I think the individual person has more control, the contraweight will always be where you need it to be and you can use different weights for diffrent people, right? If there are flaws in this way of thinking please point them out to me, I'd like to build something like this in my home.

[@codyeades8315]

So I wasn’t right, but I wasn’t wrong. Lol

[@Balatac]

can you blend gumballs in a blender and then try and make that into cotton candy? Also, love your videos... been watching you guys for years :)

[@Kafj302]

well first off if you were going to do it again, i would design the treehouse with the elevator in mind.

[@euroclydonftw9676]

If you had an entrance on the first floor and a exit on the second, there would be no need for a crank. If there were first and second floors that is.

[@Syriamyloveisfreefire]

You should use weights from a weight machine then it’s adjustable axed on a persons weight.

[@Scoobyspysvrgaming555]

Happy Halloween👻👻👻👻

[@lidith2786]

with the rope to go downward, make more loops, so you can ''climb'' up, pulling the weight up

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

You could also use those loops as foot holds if you made them large enough, although you have to be careful with that bc without a thick enough rope or something to shape the hole, that makes it super easy to tangle around your foot and get stuck. Same thing for the up rope

[@kameljoe21]

It would be better to build an Otis-Fensom Elevator. This way any weight could be used.
