World's NOW Fastest Elevator (18 m/s) until 2019 - Shanghai Tower's Observation Deck

**UPDATE 2020: Hey guys, as some may already know, the current fastest elevators are no longer Shanghai Tower. It was beaten by Rosewood Guangzhou's express elevators when the hotel opened for public in September 10th, 2019. I will definitely get a take on that elevator soon!
00:00 Intro
00:40 Elevator Going Up
02:19 Sightseeing From Top
03:05 Elevator Going Down
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we are, on the world's fastest elevator now! The door closes on B2 and opens on 119th floor in just 55 seconds!
By the time of filming, the whole building is not fully functional yet, like the mall doesn't have shops yet except the Shanghai Tower's Gift Shop. The hotel isn't ready yet as well. But the observation deck is already fully functional as before going up the elevators we are welcomed with the story of Shanghai Tower.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Specifications by the time of filming
Supplier and Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Japan)
Installer: Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator, Co. Ltd. (China)
Maximum Speed: 18 m/s (1080 m/M, 3543 FPM, 64.8 km/h), the right one tops at 20.5 m/s (only when the technician toggles it)
Elevator in Operation: 1/3, the middle
Capacity: 21 persons/1600 kg (3527 lbs)
Travelling Distance: 565 m (1854 ft)
Floors Served: B2 (observation deck entry and exit), 118 (restaurant, under construction), 119 (observation deck)

[@Peppermint1]

A few fun fact you'd want to learn... - All these elevators on tallest buildings are still.. pulled by cable with a huge counterweight. Yes, cables up to 1 km long! some are made of carbon fiber - The cabin is slowly pressurized and depressurized much like an airplane, to prevent ear popping - On these very tall buildings part of the elevators have been designed to be specifically used for evacuation in case of a fire!

[@janstryersrensen4384]

My ears was popping two times In the Shanghai Tower elevators.

[@dortiz92]

Imagine how big that counterweight is! I wonder how thick the steel ropes are too. Not your standard rope size I’m sure

[@DieselElevators]

I believe it goes slower going down so you don't blow your ears out.

[@qeelevators2960]

I want to float

[@davidbian2466]

You are 99% correct!

[@ankurage]

FYI: ①18 m/s is somewhere around 65 km/h. it's like driving in major roadways in a city. ②you can't feel the speed. you can only feel the acceleration. it was somewhere like 1 m/s2 = 3.6 km/h/s = 0.1g, so you'll get 1.1g accelerating upwards and 0.9g accelerating downwards. CMIIW

How did it feel like to ride that fast elevator down? Did your stomach drop?

[@EiffelVale]

Apparently I felt it in the ears.

[@Scenaik]

Legend has it,a few people tried to jump while it goes down and they floated for about 9-12 seconds then later falling to the ground damaging their feet.

[@Scenaik]

After that incident they changed how fast the elevator goes down

[@duhkjhwifyyhed]

Randell the Rogue that's pretty illiterate. Firstly you don't float, but that's not my point. The thing is if you are accelerating down where the G force is not enough to make you fly to the top and end up in stable speed, you will be fine. But your ears will not like the sudden change in pressure.

[@Scenaik]

Welp....ok

[@ShashankArv]

Awesome elevator! The world’s fastest elevator! What brand and model is this elevator? ThyssenKrupp MOMENTUM 300?

[@DragonsFan.]

Imagine taking the stairs! How long would that take?

[@MrDrunkenknight]

I was in shanghai exactly in time when this video uploaded and have visited near skyscraper - can opener and found evevators there more spectacular though there are not so fast

I had to say, it is more polished when I went there too. Shanghai Tower was very new at that time.

[@antonv.]

cool

[@duhkjhwifyyhed]

2:35 the tower on the bottom of the screen is where the Thyseenkrupp lift lives.

[@garfieldandfriends1]

Is the reason why it's stuck at 10m/s for downwards is because of gravity? Going faster will cause people to hit the ceiling?

[@duhkjhwifyyhed]

I don't think you should get a lift faster than 10m/s when descending. The "floating" is definitely not the problem, and will never be the problem. It's the air pressure. It won't be comfortable for the ears if you went down that fast. And yes airplanes are pressurised so they can descend fast without making your ears too uncomfortable, but even that still makes your ears uncomfortable.

[@danielbigtiger]

I saw the one's on Hitachi's yt channel about the fastest lift based in Guangzhou

[@PhilippeRgt]

Can you answer, please ? Why people are very indifférent in fast elevator, and excessivly screaming in little coaster or attraction ? Personally, the thrills are more in the accelerations of fast elevator, because we are standing !!

[@cesarbravo822]

Maybe the thrill is in the lateral movement? Or maybe higher accelerations? I've taken the elevator at the Shanghai World Financial Centre (the building at 2:32), and the acceleration was rather mild. I'd imagine this elevator is similar.

[@vernonh194]

Finally they have the 4th floor and 13th floor.

[@raffaellouis4326]

Fun fact: in chinese culture number 13 is lucky because means Assured Growth or Easy to Live, while 4 was already unlucky for most eastern countries due to the pronunciation like Si is the chinese word for Death and this is why many buildings in china omit the 4th floor but the Shanghai Tower is the only exception to this rule

how old their average age? 85? acceleration is crawling. half way and still not at top speed.

[@PhilippeRgt]

One issue concerns me always: WHY people and children shout and overly react, afraid and have fun in a carousel, a roller coaster, even small or attraction, and remain completely stoic, unperturbed and indifferent as if they did not feel the ground that gives way under their feet and raised their feet for 36 seconds (how people, they are very strong !) in all very fast elevators, especially this one, because to have tried everything they make me as much STANDING effects balancing on tiptoe a great attraction ??? In a roller coaster, acceleration effects are reduced by being seated and secured. Can anyone give me the answer ???

[@charginginprogresss]

These are no longer the worlds fastest sadly, now that the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is open to the public, their Hitachi lifts can take passenger up the the observation deck at a speed at 20 meters/second (and up to 21m/s when the machinery is pushed to its limits) unlike this which can travel at 18m/s (and up to 20.5m/s when the machinery is pushed to its limits) The title for this lift as the worlds fastest was unfortunately very short lived :(
