We are thankful for the support received from SolidWorks for the production of this video. You may access an affordable version of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers here ( $38USD/year! | 20% Off) - solidworks.com/lesics You may download the elevator motion study model from here - www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/jjhhbmaln6urfzeuvtbbn/h?rlkey=gsgo2juq3n0y34v5bpe1582uy&e=2&dl=0 Sorry for the mistake at 8:12. The Empire state building bomber aircraft accident happened in the year 1945. When I write the script, I put the complete focus on the art of storytelling. Initially I add random numbers for year, height etc. Just before the voice over I usually replace them with actual numbers. However, for this script, I forgot to replace the year :( Thank you for your support - Sabin Mathew

The 1945 Empire State Building bomber accident killed 14 people, but not the elevator operator. She fell 70 floors and lived. The 2000 elevator accident in the Empire State Building fell 40 floors or 400 feet before the brakes stopped the car, as designed. That's floor 44 to 4. So if the cable would've broke at floor 38, that safety brake would have stopped the car at floor -2...

Actually in most buildings the springs are completely unnecessary. An elevator at free fall compresses the air beneath it, and the compressed air slows the elevator down, until the elevator reaches the bottom moving very slowly.

I was in a free falling elevator about 8/9 years ago in Vancouver BC, we were doing renovations on the Sheraton Wall Center downtown & at the end of the day we'd usually pack about 15-25 guys (200lb+ demo guys) into one of these elevators like sardines; these weren't construction hoists they were the commercial elevators installed in the building. Every now & then one of them would skip a couple floors on the way down & we'd all laugh. Well, one day I was riding by myself & the elevator just started falling, around floor 25, it didn't catch itself it just kept falling - it was in free fall all the way to floor 6 where it stopped so fast that I was thrown to the floor from a standing position, I felt like I weighed 1200lb for about a half second & completely collapsed. On the way down I remember thinking "...Do I jump? .... Do I lay down..?" & When it started going single digits I thought "God please just *unalive* (oh KZbin) me I don't want to be a cripple" As soon as that thought finished crossing my mind the elevator stopped exactly where it was.

@@SabinCivil Thanks for responding! Yes I was okay, no injury from the fall. It was an incredibly surreal experience, I didn't really panic much at all because for the short time of the event I just couldn't believe it was happening, it wasn't until I started seeing the numbers go below 10 that I started getting scared. To this day I still get a little nervous in elevators that are programmed to move quickly. I never found a good answer for why the elevator acted the way that it did. I'm a construction safety officer & I have spoken with several people in my industry (all of whom were completely shocked by the failure) as well as done my own research & I haven't been able to find a satisfactory reason for why it let go or why it took so long to catch itself.

@chowdercake2223 I did for a while after the second time. But its surprisingly few times considering how often I use them. For example, before the first one, I had to ride an elevator for work (as in most of my shift was spent going up and down to different floors); I would estimate I would ride that elevator at least 50 times a shift, that's 250 times a week, and I was in that role for a whole year before I got stuck in an elevator (a different one btw). So in the law of statistics, that's actually a pretty rare event. More common is having a near miss at least once a week driving to work (think about how often you have one), which is only 2-3 times a day.

Hey elevator technician here, just wanted to mention that EACH cable is more than capable of holding up a fully loaded elevator car BY ITSELF. And most cars have 4 to 7 cables attached to them… so there is almost no scenario outside of fowl play or gross malpractice that would lead to a free fall incident to begin with.

First elevator governors were the flyball type, like those use on steam engines. When the elevator car speeds up to a certain speed, the two flyballs on the governor will by centrifugal force raises the flyballs which then pulls a bracket to a point that locks the governor and in turn stopping the car from moving.

Forgive my ignorance, but I’m having a hard time understanding how when the governor pulley overspeeds and stops suddenly, how does the governor cable not snap or break, and how does the car come to a gradual stop when the governor pulley stops suddenly? I know I’m missing something but if the governor stops instantly and it puts a huge amount of force on the cable, couldn’t it break and then “let go” of the brakes?

Pretty sure elevators are built in such a way that a single cable is still enough to carry the load capacity of the elevator, because (correct me if i'm erong) back when the inventor showed it off, people refused to step on one because they didnt trust a singular cable (despite him showcasing the safety by standing under it while it was on 1 cable on full capacity). So yeah. Its far more likely that the mechanism that actually moves the elevator breaks than the cables themselves, excluding centuries of no maintenance on said cables

I knew there were brakes on elevators but I really tought they worked in a simple manner this seems quite overengeneered. The lead spring solution is more along the lines of what I tought was the case. Instead I tought he brakes were always activated under spring tension as a failsafe for the motor brakes, and when the motor was activated it would separate the brake pads either with it's own power or by activating another motor with an electric circuit or something similar. The leaf spring mechanism is simpler yet than what I tought was the case, just replace the metal prongs with a brake pad that won't stop instantly.

So this isn’t a problem of the engineers or even the companies who install this. Almost all modern elevators have a lot of safety mechanisms. If the building, or management, or whoever cannot maintain this this is totally on them. You can’t really blame the technology or the engineers behind it. Same can be told for cars, aero planes and other heavy machinery which all need maintenance in order to run good. And that is why at least some countries are strict in inspections

Yes, a bit involved process but this way at least nobody is trapped.

So an emp could make the safty mechanism fail. I thought that the entire reason of mechanical activated switches was to avoid the possible risk of electronic failure for electrical switches

I wonder why the flywheel isnt attached underneath the car? Seams like an easier use? Maybe wear on the rail? Interested to know more about accelerated trigger mechanisms.

The original spring design could be extended to activate the modern breaks. It would be much safer. And if we add electronics, I'd make the elevator itself activate the breaks, if it detects free fall.

@@tristanviola You add the electronics as extra fail-safe, not as primary safety feature, like it's shown in the video. The idea is that cutting the safety wire would make the shown electric (and mechanic) system(s) useless, but having an accelerometer in the cabin would be an improvement. I was also thinking about manual break, but outside skyscrapers there won't be enough time to act, even if there are warning signs.

@@ИванСнежков-з9й What you’re saying is generally what is implemented anyway. Cable snaps are first of all very rare. So an actual free fall happens upwards not downwards. Because counterweight is heavier than the cab. When the normal steel cables snap it doesn’t mean that power is immediately lost to the cab anyway. There’s a different belt which carry the signal and power.

Under US federal law, elevators in the US include the most recent inspection approval and date (usually in a picture frame) on the elevator wall. Don't get in an elevator that hasn't been inspected in over a year. CFR 1917.116(e): Elevators and escalators shall be thoroughly inspected at intervals not exceeding one year. Additional monthly inspections for satisfactory operation shall be conducted by designated persons. Records of the results of the latest annual elevator inspections shall be posted in elevators. Records of annual escalator inspections shall be posted in the vicinity of the escalator or be available at the terminal.

To survive a free falling elevator. U need to lay down completely flat and if u have things to protect your head u need to cover ur head with ur things and it goes on the ground it absorb the energy of the elevator but remember the free falling elevator is so fast so u need to fast. Ok
