In the mid-1980s I was involved in an investigation and redesign of an elevator that "fell up" into the top of the elevator shaft. The elevator was fitted with a counterweight that balanced the weight of the car. This in turn made it possible to reduce the size of the motor and winch drum. As shown in your video the governor and brakes stop an elevator car from falling. On most elevators, the same is not true of the counterweight. At the time of the incident counterweight brakes, according to US regulations, were required when flammable substances or people might be beneath the elevator. This might occur in a building with an underground parking lot or a below-ground shopping mall. In the incident, the elevator car was called to the lowest level. As it reached the bottom the gearbox on the winch failed catastrophically allowing the counterweight to fall, pulling the elevator car into the top of the shaft. Luckily, no one was in the elevator car and there were no injuries. The failure investigation showed the gearbox showed signs of fatigue cracking in the gearing, leading to a complete failure of the gear. Analysis showed the gearbox was grossly undersized for the intended service. It also showed the accident and damages could have been mitigated had a governor and counterweight brake been installed. All of our elevators were removed from service. Designs were reviewed and gearboxes, motors, and winches were upgraded, as necessary. Counterweight governors and brakes were retrofitted on all elevators. We also upgraded our specifications for future installations.

For a little bit more context, usually a lift car is balance at 50% rated load with the counterweight. So if a car is rated at 2000kg, 1000kg would have to be in the car to be balanced with the counterweight. Anything less than that you will have a CWT heavy situation and lift car will go up. Most emergency brakes are on the car only and only work in the down direction.

Actually when I did my apprenticeship with Kone Australia we were very aware of how much fun it was to ride on top of a lift at full speed over 70 floors, but that was only 7.5m/s (27k/h). That was until it was banned for obvious safety reasons. I can't imagine what 17m/s would look like. Things are moving past you with millimetre precision very fast indeed. Amusement parks become boring.

Let's remember though, computer models are very important because by creating one that accurately predicts reality, it shows that you properly understand the engineering involved. If your computer model is wrong, it's not the fault of the computer, it's because the person designing the computer model didn't understand the engineering properly.

As someone From Finland and used to KONE elevators it's not scary at all. They are 100% safe even if something doesn't work. In China on the other hand, I would never even set my foot inside an elevator. Those are scary even if nothing is wrong with them. Now I have an OTIS elevator from the 90s and it doesn't seem as reliable as an KONE. Even pushing the stop button when you accidentally press the wrong floor button makes the elevator reboot and stop for a long time until it restarts and goes to the first floor. KONE from the 90s, would just stop and continue immediately after you choose a new floor.

My favorite elevator is the Gateway Arch elevator tram in St. Louis because of how unique it is. A guy named Virgil Bowser developed with his father elevator equipment that could travel horizontally, diagonally, and normal vertical. During a drive between Des Moines and DC, he stopped in Moline, IL and it was there where an associate named John Martin told him Eero Saarinen (Finnish-born architect of the Arch who also designed Dulles and the TWA Flight Center at JFK) was looking for someone to design a transportation system for the Arch. Eero returned the call and gave Bowser two weeks to design and present in front of the team. He knew a normal system wouldn't do, so for the Arch he combined elevator and Ferris wheel elements to create a unique system where a tram of eight elevator pods that by rotating, allows the visitors inside to remain leveled the entire way.

KONE is one of the funniest company names. "Kone" is a basic Finnish word, in English it means simply "machine." Just like in English, it appears in a lot of compound words as well, for example a sewing machine is "ompelukone" in Finnish ("ompelu" being sewing and "kone" machine). A washing machine is "pesukone", with "pesu" meaning washing. An airplane is actually "lentokone" in Finnish, meaning a flight machine. So, when people who know Finnish language see the company name, it simply reads as MACHINE in our eyes. A fitting name for a company that makes and maintains machines.

Our Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang deserves to have fast elevators. This is cooler than ice. Makes me want to go to Finland just to visit the KONE underground visitor cave. Here's some Finland fun facts: Not only is Finland the sauna capital of the world (estimated over 3 million of them which is more than one sauna per household), but the word “Sauna” is also Finnish! It's the only Finnish word making it into everyday English language as well! Even their parliament has its own sauna, and Finns abroad also have the luxury of saunas inside their diplomatic buildings. More than 75 percent of their area is covered with forest! One of the most endangered seal populations in the world makes their residence in one of Finland’s lakes (Lake Saimaa). Only about 320 of the Saimaa Ringed Seals are estimated to remain. They're one of the few living freshwater seals left, alongside the Baikal and Ladoga seals.

I am a certified elevator engineer to work on KONE and Otis systems. The overspeed governer works using centrifugal force. If it rotates too fast, the weighted core jams against the outer teeth of the governer, grabbing the governer rope, applying the brake on the elevator car. There is also a pendulum design, but those are more common for lower speed machines. Very simple but very effective contraption with interesting history ang engineering.

Not just for tall and large. KONE lifts are installed in, for example, London's DLR light train system stations, where they go up only 3-4 storeys or so. Some escalators are too, though don't quote me on that.

Sure, most of the elevators and escalators in Finland are by Kone, for example the one in the six-storey building I live in, installed in 1952. They make those horizontal things they have at airports as well.

Great company Kone 😁. In every high rise building I helped building they where there also. Loved working with them on the jubi towers The Hague, amazing brass elevators. Testing and crontol checks we did on top of the elevators, great experience going up and down the shafts on top op it. 🎉

Thanks for this video B1M, This really teaches us more when it comes to technogically advanced solutions and everything. A real case of using MX100 motor in India but NOT in a Skyscraper is Jio World Convention Centre, it's merely 5 floors, but why such a massive motor? Well, that one is designed to carry over 200 passengers and such weight can make it difficult with simple motors like MX06, MX10 or even MX40. So MX100 was the most feasable idea and also using 9 ropes and 18 pulleys to allow it to run smoothly without problems. This is an example of how to also make huge elevators which can accomodate a lot more people at once, like Japan usually does in a lot of buildings. Thanks again for this video!
