      Jared, thanks! Great job!
      Would you please also consider modeling hi speed travelator. It's a moving walkway in which each segment has two parts that can expand. It slows down gradually at the beginning and at the end so people can get on and off, but the speed at the middle is always fast!
      I found this short video from one in Toronto, Canada.

      Ilham Maulana AutoCad is mainly for technical 2D drawings. For 3D modeling you can use either: 3Dsmax, Blender, Sketchup, Rhinoceros, etc. Each of them can make their own style animation and some needs plugins for more complex modifications. I’m also 3D artist myself, check my works at 3d-rendering-edsons.business.site/?

    4:20 is actually not true. The handrail and steps dont move at the same speed. The handrails move a tiny bit faster to make sure that the person standing on the steps is always pulled forward and not backwards when a lot of people are holding on to the railing! To prevent you from falling backwards

      In a subway station's their speed's don't match *ON PURPOSE* .
      For example, if u moving upstairs, handrail will be *faster* , than steps rail -> you'll be forced to _lean forward_ (if u hold on to it) -> you, most likely _do not fall_ on your back, even if u fall asleep.

    I'm not sure about escalators in US, but here in Europe, the handrail moves slightly faster than the stairs. This is intentional, because it keeps you aware of your surroundings and thus keeps you awake. If you fell asleep on the escalators, you might end up in hospital after a rather curious accident.

    Actually most escalators (that I used anyway) will have the handrail moving a bit faster than the steps. I looked it up and one reason I found has to do with wear, over time reducing the handrail speed. So this way, they get a better service life out of it. Another reason I found is safety. It would actually go faster on escalators going up, and slower on ones going down (which I think is also what I’ve seen). If someone who counts on the handrail for balance falls, they’d fall on the escalator upwards.
    I think my father (who was a maintenance technician in a large department store) actually mentioned the safety reason to me.

    There were two really long escalators on the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier when I was stationed on board. They went from the deck under the hangar bay all the way up to the deck under the flight deck (through four decks) and were designed back in the late 50s to carry pilots directly from their ready-rooms up to the flight deck. They were never activated while I was there, but everyone used them as a shortcut and under a heavy enough load, they could begin to slowly descend causing everyone to walk against them.

      Metro stations kinda need them. It's not normal to walk that many steps at that steepness.

    0:06 Yes. I have. In Japan, they have these glass escalators in malls where you can see through them. It was the first time seeing them for me. I’ve seen the insides of this thing already. Looks so cool by the way!

    I was once in Katowice, Poland, and they have an escalator in the shopping center near the station, which is not covered, but is glazed from below and glazed from the sides, and the whole mechanism is beautifully visible.

      The only time I saw that was in Heathrow airport, London. In the USA we don’t have that in our airports, but at universal studios as some have pointed out. Also our golf carts are silent. The ones in the London airport sound like ducks quacking.

      Christopher Xie I don’t hold onto the handrails. You never know what everyone who went on the escalator before you may have been touching.

      @simonw3858 3 года назад

      It's helpful for those who are not quite as mobile such as elderly people. Mainly i think its most helpful to the people making all the money from rent in shopping centres though. I mean who would want to walk up four stories of stairs to visit a shop on that floor. If it was just stairs you can bet your arse nobody wants to lease a shop on the top floor.
