Index :

• Shanghai tower is the tallest building in china with a 632m High .

• Housing a total area of 578077 sm of world-class office, hotel, entertainment , retail and cultural venues .

Shanghai tower’s

elevator :China’s Shanghai Tower, which is

scheduled to be completed in 2014,

will be the country’s tallest building

and the second-tallest in the world,

after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. It will

also have the distinction of having

the world’s fastest elevator, which

will be able to reach speeds of 40

miles per hour. The building will

incorporate 106 elevators and will

set a world record for furthest-

traveling single elevator, at 1,898

feet. It will be the third-tallest

building in the world after Sky City

in China is completed next year.

The elevators will be able to run at

• motor in the elevators has a

built-in converter that

regenerates electricity. This

reduces the elevator's power

consumption by more than 30

percent, according to

Mitsubishi.The safety gear,

which grasps the elevator rails if

there's a cable problem, is made

of ceramic material that can

withstand high heat and friction.

The gear itself consists of two

stages to better handle the

kinetic energy from high

speeds.Within the shaft .

• the aerodynamic elevator cars

will be hauled by Mitsubishi's

new Sflex-rope, which is made

of high-intensity steel wire

strands that are wrapped in

plastic

• Hydraulic jacks and many other

technological advancements such as

automobile brakes and dental chairs

work on the basis of Pascal's

Principle, named for Blaise Pascal,

who lived in the seventeenth century.

Basically, the principle states that the

pressure in a closed container is the

same at all points. Pressure is

described mathematically by a Force

divided by Area. Therefore if you

have two cylinders connected

together, a small one and a large one,

and apply a small Force to the small

cylinder, this would result in a given

pressure. By Pascal's Principle, this

pressure would be the same in the

larger cylinder, but since the larger

cylinder has more area, the force

emitted by the second cylinder would

be greater. This is represented by

rearranging the pressure formula P =

F/A, to F = PA. The pressure stayed

the same in the second cylinder, but

• Spiral Escalators

• Helixators .

• Levytator

The Escalators :

Slandered

Escalators :Most common escalators share

the same basic structure as the

Standard Type Escalator.

Spiral Escalators:

Levytator

:

1-The curved modules used in the

Levytator

2-The Levytator scale model

3-The Levytator allows curved modules to be placed

in a continuous loop

The levytator :

the High speed Helixators

:

The high speed Helixator is a

combination of emerging

technologies and existing

inventions into a machine for

continuous vertical transport.

The Helixator technology is

flexible to the point it can be

developed with any of the

several existing acceleration

methods, the figures presented

in the next paragraph emerge

from those machines statistics.

People boarding the High speed

Helixator would travel at an

estimated speed of 12 km/h

(vertical speed 1m/sec) crossing

a floor every 5 seconds and a

twenty story building in just a

Helixator for La tour Eiffel

In this proposed design, using 4

regular speed Helixator machines

increases the capacity of the

structure to 12,000 visitors per hour

excluding the existing elevator

system. It allows free movement of

visitors between the ground, first

and second levels and provides a

breathtaking panorama over the

city and monument. The average

riding time will be about 3 minutes

per level and there will be no

waiting time as with the elevators.
