Inside world's fastest elevator Shanghai Tower 40 mph 18 m/s 120 floors

Take a ride from level B2 to floor 118 in the elevator of Shanghai Tower. This massive Chinese skyscraper, completed in September 2015, is a staggering 2,074 feet (632 meters) tall. As of 2016, it is the second tallest building in the world. Inside the tower is the fastest elevator in the world. The journey from level B2 to the observation deck on floor 118, a total of 120 floors, takes only 55 seconds at a speed of 18 meters a second, or 40 miles per hour.

fun fact: At the fastest, the power required to raise an 80 kg person is 14400 Watts. let say there are 10 people in the elevator. This would mean 144 Kilowatts just to lift the people alone. That's not considering the weight of the elevator itself too which easily adds another 180 Kilowatts too, and efficiency. The elevator can easily use 324 Kilowatts just to operate the elevator.

Very cool. Thank you for that, I enjoy learning new things.

Half true: Elevators have counter weights. At least its own weight

@@TheFightingmav i see the error. Thx for pointing that out

I came here because I had a dream in which I was building a tower with more than 750 floors and the elevator was so fast that it covered those floors in a matter of seconds. It looked like it was going to come loose and be thrown out.

[@arendary]

I’ve also had the same dream

[@Nigel4ADayLike]

i came here because i JUST woke up from a dream about a high speed elevator that could go sideways as well. it was a huge octagon and went between floors of a surgery center. i got stuck in the elevator which was the wrong one and i was trying to go to the parking level. i got out and started crying like the child in the video. stress stress stress ahhh

[@henryho2510]

That so fast even make the kid on the background cry

[@TheTravelMentor]

Also makes your ears pop with how fast it is.

[@kylesugden820]

[@DragonsFan.]

Wow, the speed of it :0 Its like a rocket

[@TheTravelMentor]

Yes. It was fast.

[@antonv.]

amazing elevator!

[@TheTravelMentor]

Yes it is!

[@behtrm]

This thing travels almost 3550 FPM going up!!! This is how I found that: 18MPS x 60 = 1080MPM, then convert to feet to get 3543.307FPM Going down, it travels 1968.5 FPM. (10MPS x 60 = 600MPM then converting to feet)

[@TheTravelMentor]

I am bad at math so I appreciate this. Makes you realize how fast you are going.

[@Karnabeno]

It is faster than my home internet

[@TheTravelMentor]

Ha!

[@dinhthi0105]

Good video!

[@TheTravelMentor]

Thank you!

[@RipHugoxX]

For those who don't know why a kid cried on the background: So the elevator was going up at the speed of 18m/s (64.8km/h) which was almost faster than a car. Because of that, The air pressure was very high that our ears could hurt so their dad told them to take a sip of saliva after the elevator started slowing down so that their ears would get better!

Finally a comment that **makes** sense.

You are correct. I think when I posted this I meant where the elevator stopped on the 120th floor.

If it was even faster it would have made people fall to the ground, and that would be so hurt

[@bluerose6658]

It's not the fastest elevator in the world man. Chinese always say they are the best in the world all over any other country, but in fact, that's fu*kin lie dude.

[@TheTravelMentor]

Well the Chinese didn’t decide it, Guinness World Records did.

[@TheRealLink]

Which is faster now? Lotte Tower I believe is at the same speed. CTF Guangzhou is 20m/sec but no video shows that yet. And I think they modded the center OB elevator in Shanghai Tower to also reach 20m/sec., so as far as I know, yes these actually are the fastest. Unless you count mining elevators and other lifts I suppose.

[@jenasis2903]

also, all the fastest elevators in the world (including this one), is made by Japanese companies (Mitsubishi, Hitachi etc.). soz for reply after 2 yrs
