It's not more dangerous than normal elevators. Also it is really practical to prevent long qeues, if a big amount of people needs to be transportet quickly. And for last it's so fun to drive with it. It's basically like an indoor ferris-wheel. 😁😁😁
@@arshenio45 The point is that there is no waiting time. That makes them fast. The use requires some training so that you can step in and out at the right moment.
We had these at my university library - absolutely hilarious to ride on. The number of people who misjudged getting on or off was just silly. You'd hear a massive thud from above or below you as they fell in or fell out on their floor. Going all the way round was a rite of passage.
As a kid I was horrified by the paternoster lift! Because my brother told me they would turn upside down at the top and the bottom and you could fall out and also they would lead no where so who knows where you would end up 😂
Your brother was a dick! I'm not judging, though, as I had two younger sisters, and looking back, I *TOO,* was a total dick as well...I guess it's just the "duty" of older siblings to terrorise their younger siblings as kids. My wife was the youngest in her family, and her older brother was a dick to her, as well. We feel bad about it as adults, but I suppose when we're kids we are absolutely cruel and ruthless!
I worked in the I.G. Farben building (Abrams building) in Frankfurt Germany for over 7 years in the 80s and 90s. There were 6 paternosters in the building total and several elevators from the same era. Usually, there were one or two paternosters out of order at any one time. The building had a German maintenance crew that worked endlessly on the building. The paternosters were.... safe'ish and we used them daily, climbing on two or three at a time to travel between the floors. However, there were deaths while I was stationed in V Corps. People would get hurt even killed by freaking out and trying to climb out at the bottom and top rotation points. The individual cars move faster than they seem, and they "rattle" back and forth horizontally. Anyone that thinks these are less maintenance than elevators is saddly mistaken.
we lived in Frankfurt 92 to 95 (left the day the American Flag was lowered from VCorp building) ... when we visited "Dad" at work, I'd hang on tight to my little one. Which was worse? Paternoster? or the L-stairs... UGH
When I was a kid, my aunt took me to that building because of these lifts! I loved it! I think they're still in operation to this day, but you need to have a "license" for using them...
@@Mezgrman the IG Farben building is now part of the new campus of Frankfurt University. They tried to introduce a pater noster license, but it was too bothersome to maintain that system. Most of the paternoster are shut down now. Inside of the library however, they are still on duty from Monday to Friday, but only during daytime. It is kind of fancy and a little scary to use, but I like them :)
All accidents with paternoster lifts are cause by human idiocy. Last time here in Czechia, some workers tried enter with ladder and they destroyed lift, idiots.
@@Pidalin I'm not really sure that's a fair statement. Human fight-or-flight is a powerful response in someone that's frightened... but I will most certainly agree that someone carrying a ladder onto a paternoster is an idiot. Stay safe.
I love the subtitles...my goodness, that wheel looks so dangerous...what happens if drunk people try to get in/out of these lifts...one needs to be nimble!
I've never seen one of these in operation before. If I actually had a chance to ride one I certainly would. Wikipedia claims there are two outside Europe (one in Malaysia, one in Peru) and that the Czech Republic has the most surviving ones.
Some of them can be found in Slovakia too. Remeber them from times when I was child but now I know they are only maybe in two or three buildings in whole country.
The urban myth about pater noster elevator was that the cabin was gonna flip over when reached the top/bottom. My grandpa, when he was a kid, has been told this legend, everybody just believed it. But he and his friend tried it anyway. They were prepared to be flipped over, but it didn't happen. The morale of the story is that we should always test the truthfulness of "guaranteed" facts people (or internet) tell us and not only blindly believe everything. P.S. My grandpa became an air-fighter pilot, got master degree and was generally sensible person.
Oh my god, I just discovered that the building I will do my internship in is the one in the video! That lift was very scary but I immediately remembered your video. So yes, it's still in service in 2022!
when we was young, we did that, when the cabin was turning on top, we do a handstand and go down like that, when you arrive to lower levels, where was people waiting for cabin... well some people did not get that joke well :D
I think this may be the one I was riding as a kid in Prague. Mom had to have some paperwork done in the building and so I was riding this, along with some other kids left in there. Besides riding, we would tell tales of what happens when you go under or over - will you flip? one kid heard the whole cabin folds and you'll be crushed.. we kept scaring each other so much none of us dared to do it in the 30 minutes we were there.
My Babcia worked as a Property Inspector in Opole Poland and in the public building where her office was they have these still. Saw them last year but had no idea what they were. They are still used to this day for some reason
this is the first time i've ever seen a machine like this... that is so cool. logically there must have been ancestors to the modern elevator but i just have never thought of it before. human ingenuity is amazing
that must be the first time ive heard a man saying he went through the bottom without feeling anything! i would deffinately notice if a man went through my bottom!
there was one of these at a university in leicester, a thing of beauty. each floor had a hinged panel where you step out which could flip up to stop your limbs being chopped off if you stuck something out of the cab on the way up.
The only thing "dangerous" about going around the top or bottom is that you might just pick the moment the caretaker decides to switch the paternoster off for the holidays... I once worked in an office building with a primitive paternoster with unlit cabins - so whenever I needed a few seconds of total darkness to check the keypad lighting settings of my mobile phone, I took a paternoster cabin through the bottom - however weak any light was, you could see it in there...
They are cool but they are very slow and therefore it's faster to take the stairs and another problem is that not many people can travel at the same time. For instance if 10 people are at ground level and want to get to the third floor they all have to wait and get on the elevator one or two at a time. So if there are many people a conventional elevator is faster I believe, but if there are not so many people who want to travel at the same time a paternoster is great for people who can walk. I don't think a person in a wheelchair would agree
шмальро кивкин So... where did you get that information? obviously from nowhere. you think it would be legal to have an elevator like this without proper safety features?
I used to have nightmares about elevators like this. And this was before I found out they actually exist! Although in my nightmare they go up the side of the building.
Many of us were similarly unaware. It looks like the car is supported only at the top left corner, unless there's another chain loop opposite the opening (behind us). Why did they not put the support in the middle? What keeps the car vertical in between the areas of intended use? Very cool old tech.
@@procrastinator1842 well in china you have to worry of being eaten by an escalator. They never sue so they keep on making poor escalators that people die from.
Back in the day, I rode one of these in Berlin while visiting a government colleague. It was so cool, I rode it the whole way round twice after I had finished my meeting; not a few German civil servants displayed a bit of consternation because I was wasting time and using up "valuable" space, it was just routine to them. I understand there's still a working Paternoster the Stuttgart city hall.
We had two when I was at Uni in the UK. I also went over the top although it wasn't allowed, saw the big wheel. Another time, some guy pretended that the cabins would flip, so he did a hand-stand before going down as a prank.
LOL - and it reminds me of my "youth". In my 20s at my university building in Vienna, there was a Peternoster still in operation at that time. There was a girl student with whome i sometimes "travelled" together up to the Mensa in the last floor. One day i made myself a joke and asked if she ever travelled through the top. She replied "no" so i told her she should not do it. Because the cabines will "go around the wheel" so she would have to carefully step onto the "walls" of the cabin, then onto the "roof" which would now be the floor, i told her the cabins would go all the way behind the wheel down to the basement, where they would be turned around by the wheel again and she would have to step carefully again onto the "wall" of the cabin and then onto the floor. I think she totally believed me and was so scared ;-)
That thing is ducking terrifying! From the creepy creaks and drum sounds to the steps where if you stuck your arm out you'd lose it to the giant yellow and black gear of hideous mangled death. I'd never ever get on that!
I like how it goes so fast that people who actually need an elevator, like with a stroller or wheelchair, can't really use that unless they're really fast
for everyone who is saying that its not wheelchair accessible: it was invented in the mid 1800s, although wheelchairs were invented long before that lots of times there weren't even ramps to get into buildings, wheelchair accessibility was not common AT ALL so don't be so shocked
Nice clean lift and building. There used to be one in the Biochemistry building, University of Oxford. We did the complete loop once too, but it was much older and dirtier.
It is called paternoster, and it can be very useful at places where you dont want to wait for the elevator. I know one around here at a hospital for doctors.
When l was little Dad told me he didn't get off one of these lifts on time and had to go round with it. I always thought it had turned upside down with him in it and they've always terrified me... Lol. Glad to see they don't really do that.
The University of Central England in Birmingham had these in the Engineering building. Sadly the whole campus in now demolished. I used to like riding them. The step flips up to stop you getting parts of your body sliced off. We used to scare people by going over the top or bottom :).
It could be safer it it would stop at every floor for a short amount of time with a automatic door with sensors if someone is stuck and would still be faster than a ordinary elevator.
@@17industries42 there are stupid people, old people, disabled people, childs, .... imagine if someone wants to take this elavator with a wheelchair or should he ride up the stairs? I am an mechanical engineer and if you create something it has to be safe for every circumstances even if you have to remove some features. And this thing rips you apart like the devil himself if you make a mistake. And this shouldn't be possible in any possible way. I don't know were you live but were i live the engineer can be made responsible if some idiot like you would stick his head out of the elevator 30cm before the floor ends. So shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. Engineering would be a lot easier if you don't have to make everything safe for every idiot on the world
@@matzi9662 these are simply gags. just props. there are actual elevators. most possibly in other parts of the building. these exist to create tourist income.
@@Stand_Tall ok i didn't know that. I thought this would be a actual elevator of a building. My bad But people could still get hurt And it would be an interesting concept if it would be completly thought out which isn't the case here
At the top of the door there's a plank with a sensor. If you hit it (for example by your leg that sticks out), the elevator stops. Also, in the floors, there are safety flaps. In case of an incident, those flaps will freely flip up, preventing you from being crushed.
no pozor, buď fakulta elektrotechnická, nebo fakulta strojní, to nelze zaměňovat, každá má svůj vlastní páternoster :-) nicméně obdivuji tvou odvahu, já jsem za celých 5 let svých studií nenašel odvahu projet ani sklepem ani půdou (já jsem vůbec měl k tomu výtahu dost velký respekt...)
Který fakultě pak patří ten třetí uprostřed? :) Já myslel, že půdou a sklepem jezdili všichni studenti :D. Nic strašnýho tam nehrozí. Proč by na paternosterech jinak bylo napsáno "půdou i sklepem projedete bez nebezpečí"? Někteří se i stavěli na ruce a dělali, že ve sklepě se ta kabina otočí vzhůru nohama....
Thats a nice child slicer you have installed there! Really though, its got enoigh torque to easily lift a person, what would happen if someone ended up half on/half off (final destination style). Would they get chopped in half or are there safety features that prevent it?

Yes, there are sensors and also safety flaps.
There are because otherwise this would not be legal for sure.

Also there ould have been freight elevators as well in larger buildings.
Nice clean lift and building. There used to be one in the Biochemistry building, University of Oxford. We did the complete loop once too, but it was much older and dirtier.
My god that looks so dangerous, imagine a young child in there..
It's a damn suicide chamber. If you're not 150% focused and timing is off, you're dead.

But in fact, it's the most secure kind of elevator. It of course has security features to avoid any danger.
Wonderful and scary! Thank you, very good video.
Oh my god that's actually in Czech I studied there.
yes, probably Zlín
It is called paternoster, and it can be very useful at places where you dont want to wait for the elevator. I know one around here at a hospital for doctors.
"A standard elevator kills you when it fails. A paternoster only kills you when YOU fail :)."
*i don't smell a lawsuit and I'm scared*
When l was little Dad told me he didn't get off one of these lifts on time and had to go round with it. I always thought it had turned upside down with him in it and they've always terrified me... Lol. Glad to see they don't really do that.

The University of Central England in Birmingham had these in the Engineering building. Sadly the whole campus in now demolished. I used to like riding them. The step flips up to stop you getting parts of your body sliced off. We used to scare people by going over the top or bottom :).

I would say this is much more efficient than regular elevators/lifts, and I also feel like riding in one of these all day.
Exactly. No need to wait. :)

As a Dark Souls player, I was expecting death.
Well name paternoster originates from Pater Noster..., begining of fundamental prayer of Cristians,...
I didn't know I need this video until now. So cool
It could be safer it it would stop at every floor for a short amount of time with a automatic door with sensors if someone is stuck and would still be faster than a ordinary elevator.
Yeah, and there goes all the efficiency of continuous movement
Matzi not at all. It would completely break up the flow. Just don’t be an idiot and there is no need for extra “safety” features.
@@17industries42 there are stupid people, old people, disabled people, childs, .... imagine if someone wants to take this elavator with a wheelchair or should he ride up the stairs?
I am an mechanical engineer and if you create something it has to be safe for every circumstances even if you have to remove some features.
And this thing rips you apart like the devil himself if you make a mistake. And this shouldn't be possible in any possible way.
I don't know were you live but were i live the engineer can be made responsible if some idiot like you would stick his head out of the elevator 30cm before the floor ends.
So shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. Engineering would be a lot easier if you don't have to make everything safe for every idiot on the world
@@matzi9662 these are simply gags. just props. there are actual elevators. most possibly in other parts of the building. these exist to create tourist income.
@@Stand_Tall ok i didn't know that. I thought this would be a actual elevator of a building. My bad
But people could still get hurt
And it would be an interesting concept if it would be completly thought out which isn't the case here
Big thanks for that. I've had a lifetime of nightmares about it. . .
Fascinating. Is there any sensor in case of an accident?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Brazil.
At the top of the door there's a plank with a sensor. If you hit it (for example by your leg that sticks out), the elevator stops. Also, in the floors, there are safety flaps. In case of an incident, those flaps will freely flip up, preventing you from being crushed.
Moises Castro muito louco isso, pena que não tem aqui

Used to have one at work but it went twice as fast. You needed excellent timing
This is Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT), right? Faculty of electrical engineering, I guess :-)
Přesně tak, je to ČVUT - fakulta elektrotechnická a fakulta strojní :)
no pozor, buď fakulta elektrotechnická, nebo fakulta strojní, to nelze zaměňovat, každá má svůj vlastní páternoster :-) nicméně obdivuji tvou odvahu, já jsem za celých 5 let svých studií nenašel odvahu projet ani sklepem ani půdou (já jsem vůbec měl k tomu výtahu dost velký respekt...)
Který fakultě pak patří ten třetí uprostřed? :) Já myslel, že půdou a sklepem jezdili všichni studenti :D. Nic strašnýho tam nehrozí. Proč by na paternosterech jinak bylo napsáno "půdou i sklepem projedete bez nebezpečí"? Někteří se i stavěli na ruce a dělali, že ve sklepě se ta kabina otočí vzhůru nohama....
hmmm to je fakt, čí je vlastně ten prostřední :-)

I no longer wonder why the elevator outlived this invention
There is one working lift of this type in my hometown Uzhhorod, Ukraine
offlaner, no way! And where exactly is it? Sounds interesting..
Safety flaps is a screen at the upper part of the door. It will disbled the power connection.
Thats a nice child slicer you have installed there! Really though, its got enoigh torque to easily lift a person, what would happen if someone ended up half on/half off (final destination style). Would they get chopped in half or are there safety features that prevent it?
It would obviously stop because of the safety mechanisms
