The incredible leaps of three decades of technology evolution! Chairlift comparison (part 3/3)

[@charlesolson9019]

Let me just say that I really appreciate this sort of deep, intensive ski lift nerdery.

[@pauleastham7999]

These are some of the best videos I've ever seen on KZbin. Spent so many hours sitting on chairlifts guessing how the mechanisms worked...

[@Vodhin]

Nice shout-out to Alex of Technology Connections! I'm glad you know about his brilliant videos explaining... um... technology connections.

[@joebess2]

I loved every minute of it! The detailed look inside is excellent, thank you!

[@michaelstambach]

Maybe looking at some aerial tramways could also be interesting for a future video. I especially find the ones interesting where the two cabins are able to move independently, such as the "Urdenbahn" between Arosa and Lenzerheide. There, the cabin going in one direction usually does not start moving at the same time as the other one and in the summer they even only run one side of the lift at once. Have often wondered how this is done, as the two sides are normally linked as a single "loop" of rope.

[@sandro-here]

Thanks, I put that on the list!

[@thomasicekeys]

This was absolutely amazing and super interesting! I like both formats, long and short.

[@fornif2458]

Absolutely loved it! Please, don't make these video shorter!

[@philippoMC]

The extend is perfect, I love the detailed descriptions

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Not overdone! Perfect actually. I must now go back and give a thumbs up on the first two parts of this video. Thanks again. P.S. I love the "real audio" parts like the relay's etc.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

3:39 Time for a collab with Technology Connections!

[@sandro-here]

I wish! That would be quite an honor :-)

[@peaceonearth8693]

Good video. Appreciate detailed explanations and examples, very interesting.

[@Bigc847]

This series was wonderful. I loved it. Thanks for taking the time to produce it. I haven’t been able to get to a ski resort in a few years and this has made up for it!

[@silwagenaaaaar]

Can you make a vid on how lifts are planned and build?

[@sandro-here]

I've already sent a letter to a ropeway manifacturer, but haven't got a reply. I guess I'd need someone knowing someone to be able to reach an engineer

[@manuelratschiller5754]

​@@sandro-here I am sure if you come to one of the factories someone will help, many have tours for clients. The way to get some insight is for sure through a ski resort. I think Bartholet might be a little shy at the moment after being just bought by a competitor. Maybe ask at one of the big 2 manufacturers first.

[@sandro-here]

@@manuelratschiller5754 Interesting! I've never thought of it this way. You're right, I should try that. Currently I have two other videos in the pipeline, but it's great for the backlog.

[@seanrwhalen]

What a fascinating look at these machines. I absolutely loved how you spent so much time focusing on the safety mechanisms. Also loved the shout-out to Technology Connections.

[@agpastore]

Awesome job! I've always been fascinated by ropeways since I was a little kid, never had the chance to take such an immersive tour of these technologies. Thank you!!

[@jhappone]

Thank you very much for these videos! It's been really fascinating to watch how these lifts work!

[@silwagenaaaaar]

Hi kalsan you should go next winter to saalbach hinterglemm they have the newest technology in the world and a lot of new lifts.

[@joe7497]

This series has been fantastic.

[@KingRCT3]

I loved this serie! Thank you so much, for the infos, the quality of the shots, the guys you met, the neat editing and voice-over... Perfect!

[@profitablecopy]

Thanks for the superb documentary about these chairlifts. The giant networks could learn something from you, in terms of clear and interesting narration, plus great video footage. You’re the best! -From Massachusetts USA.

[@SimonHollandfilms]

fascinating thank you

[@Josh.Davidson]

Amazing videos. All 3 parts were great!

[@LF_63]

that was such a great series !

[@markhelifreak]

Both formats are awesome, do what fits you as a creator the most :)

[@rossalexenderwilson]

This series was fantastic!

[@martinfey578]

Very interesting video I can smell the mountain air :). Good job

[@DavidBridgeTechnology]

This video was absolutely excellent. Probably annoying for all the people wondering why the lift kept stopping ;-)

[@georgH]

Excellent video series! And the amazing staff that allowed you to film it. Well done

[@LiamLlamaEVEC]

This series was awesome! Keep up the amazing content :D 👍👍👍👍

[@hoagy_ytfc]

Fascinating, thank you!

[@malomarr]

My family spent this weekend binging your videos after our 3 year old asked to learn more about cable cars and gondolas - we all LOVE these videos! Are you going to make more? Do you have a Patreon where we can support you?

[@sandro-here]

Thank you! I do these in my free time, so depending on my workload output varies. I have a new video in the works, it will take a lot of more effort though, so I expect it to air somewhere until the end of the year. Hmm I don't have a tip box at the moment, thanks for the idea. I'll look into it.

[@sandro-here]

Hi and thanks again! I have created a patreon, the link is patreon.com/user?u=83250136

[@nder4786]

Always imagine how they work while you are sitting in an lift and especially the old technology where you can smell the oil :). maybe one day you can do a series on one of the constructions of a new lift. like 1 hour episodes with a little too much information about everything. (maybe @doppelmayer will sponsor you lol)

[@Panakotta000]

Getting excited for what ever you do as next video xD

[@LB767]

Awesome video!! For the pulse counting part where the motors adjust their speed so that it matches the reference pulse number, do you know if 1 pulse is equivalent to 1 PLC cycle? So the control systems would be running at around 25Hz which sounds very low but I have no clue :)

[@svenzockt6491]

Cool, dass au mal öper Seilbahne uf englisch erklärt, dass ds Thema au international bekannter wird! Schöns Video!!

[@lavina58]

Awesome video, thanks 🙌🙌😊👍👌🍀🇭🇷

[@bishwatntl]

You said that Americans would call the rope a cable; I think that is general for English-speakers. However there are differences between what Americans and other English speakers say, but that's outside the scope of this video (think of "aerial tramway", cable car and so on)

[@DaHitch]

I"ve never been skiing, but if I do and the chairlift keeps stopping and starting I'm just gonna start looking around for a guy with a camera.

[@danielthaler3537]

Super! 1A video

[@nico5618]

Mega cooles video, e ha mer immer gfragt werum is nimmt so veu ziit zum wider afo.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Me watching the video and following the details, not realizing until 3 minutes that they stopped talking English. :'D
