3x Paternoster Lift in 1 Building!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Video from the only building in the world with 3 working paternosters. Reminder of the old days when engineers were not nannies. Remember: Standard elevator kills you when it fails. Paternoster kills you only when YOU fail. Dangerous is only what makes you harm without your fault. Otherwise, it's just non-idiotproof :).
They used to have these in the Dental School at Birmingham Dental Hospital, I wasn't staff, just a patient, but I used to sneak in there and ride on it, nobody ever challenged me. I was really sad when I heard they'd been decommissioned 😥
WOW! I have to say, being from the US, there was never a time these would have gone over. Even 50+ years ago these would never have flown. Amazing they had those kinds of things back in the day in your part of the world. Interesting. Never seen anything like these.
They still have them.
the one thing that's good about these is that you don't have to wait for hours to get one lift and tat they all arrive in a few seconds the bad things are that they are VERY DANGEROUS
They arn't VERY dangerous; there's a slight risk that can be easily avoided by considerate use, watching what you're doing - not being absorbed in a smart-phone..
Or that moment when your lift stops at every floor for the first few floors only because of hall calls (i.e. no one in the lift wanted to alight at those floors), but those people who called the lift end up disappointed as the lift is full, wasting the time of the all the passengers already in the lift (Many times the lift can be full without the "lift full" indicator shows up)
(Sensor)
@@supersaiyangoku3580 the drunken are vulnerable to that.
It is weird how all the floor signs had different fonts but they are in the same building...
There can't be many accidents with these kinds of 'lifts' or they would have been banned decades ago.
( There used to be one in our local hospital, staff use only. )
Just rare accidents, but the same applies to standard elevators, escalators or even staircases.
The installation of new paternosters has been banned since the 1970s in most parts of the world, but existing ones can still operate provided they are well maintained and safe. In practice, many of these old ones are being removed to make way for modern lifts. It's rare to find one in working order these days!
I LOVE the idea of not waiting. hopefully I'll get a chance to ride one someday
Why did you not try to go over the top?
I did in one of my other videos.
Waiting for head to grow back 🙊
The ČVUT in Prague, am I right?
jop
Btw is there anything preventing you from being cut in half?
no you have to be fast xD no really it can cut you to two pieces
There is lot of sensors, dont worry. I was there. :)
That's happened to people in regular elevators, including recently in New York City.
It’s bad how their is not wait time for maybe an old person or anyone in a wheelchair
True
There is still normal elevators these are for people who want to get to another floor quicker
Where are this Paternosters
Why did you censor people's faces?
Edit: I'm bad at English 3 years ago and now I'm fluent at it
German law requires (or used to require) this if you don't have the depicted person's consent. So my guess is the RUclipsr or lift owner is German.
The law is quite complicated. It used to be very strict, dating back to a 1907 case when early paparazzi had snuck into private property to take snaps of a dead or dying Otto Von Bismarck. This horrified the public, so a legal clampdown on publishing photos of identifiable people was widely supported on privacy and property (the right to your own image) grounds.
However, this put Germany out of line with other countries. I possess a book of photos of tourist London, where the German publisher has carefully obscured the face of every person in London street scenes. No British or American publisher would ever think this was necessary.
Anyway, this century new privacy and copyright laws have come in in Germany. But cases are still coming up in Court to establish exactly what the photo law is, as it now depends very much on circumstances. Perhaps this RUclipsr was just being extra cautious to avoid potential trouble.
@@ianstobie I WAITED 3 WHOLE YEARS but thx for the info :)
I’ve been there, all of these are really cool!
Sorry, but your statement of this being the only building with 3 working paternosters is wrong. The town hall in Stuttgart / Germany has also got three of them, and all are working. Another building with even more (six, as far as I know) is the former IG Farben building in Frankfurt / Germany, but I don´t know if they are all working.
Ah yes, The Mumbo Jumbo Slimeblock Piston Elevator
It's only a matter of time before some idiot isn't paying attention, walks out of the elevator while it is unleveled with the floor, and gets ... injured
so what the up and down pressure if you get caught and lift stops on you?
What are you even saying?
@@nrdesign1991 I think he wants to know how much force is applied on your body if you get stuck in between. My guess is that it is a lot, since these things are old and don't have any safety-switches. If it is a lift for a 6-story building and it allows for two people per car, then it would have to be able to lift at least 1200kgs. So that is roughly 11800 Newton of force. That will effectively chop of a limp. Or worse. ;)
@@basvandersluis5662 Ahh that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, the lift system basically must be able to lift up a full row of passengers (fully loaded car in every story), so it's a real chomper.
if you can use an escalator then you can use this
This in czechrepublic
Tim Key brought me here.
Hi I believe we invented this type of lift according to Beno our lift expert look him up what he does not know about lifts is minute.
Co je to za budovu? :D
