@@maxomega3 I'm not sure. Every scene could be a split-screen except the last one because the figure ist mooving an the lift. Maybe it's completely stop motion and the sound was recorded seperately? Or the elevator was stopped when the figure goes in the elevator. At 9:37 the elevator stops for one frame.

I would guess that the parts with the mini figure are entirely stop motion (or at least definitely when the figure is moving) as the elevators sound different in those segments (at least to me)

If you ever make a part 2, please build a Paternoster Lift. It's a loop of lift cars on a continous loop, where there are two shafts (One up and one down) next to each other and cars switch between the two. It's like the belt lift at the end, but you don't have to stand on the ceiling. Also I know it's a bit ambitious for LEGO, but it would be cool to see a Linear Induction Motor lift, which are currently being tested in various parts of the world.

that belt lift animation was SMOOTH

I could actually watch these for years

The extra effort of climbing onto the Parallelogram lift platform was just incredible attention to detail!

@@nickryan3417 Real building elevators are like the pneumatic (hydraulic in real life) and a cross between the winch and the counterweight chain (really a winch with a counterweight). I suspect scissor or rotating would end up being the heaviest.

In each stop motion bit I can’t help but notice the elevators begin to go down and then the mini figure turns around at the same time. You didn’t have to do it that way but it looks even nicer that you did!

The stop motion on the belt manlift must have been very difficult. This is one of my favorite videos ever so far.

i love these videos because these are actual mechanical concepts, simplified into lego

7:15 as someone who hates elevators, this is my worst possible nightmare of an ekevator design. It's literally nothing but an invisible force and hope holding you up.

9. Rotating lifts actually get used in modern times! They can be used to lift ships to higher elevated waterways where if would be impractical or impossible to have rows and rows of sleuce gates for whatever reason. Both Sides are filled with water and because a ship displaces it's tonnage in water the sides are roughly equal in weight, which helps the engines move so much weight! Thought I'd share this interesting detail, because seeing a ship elevator for the first time blew my mind:)

Feels good being 24 seconds early 💪💪💪

the editing at 9:35 was nearly SEAMLESS! I had to watch it back a couple times to figure out what you did, and figure out that you had the belt move in stop motion for just that moment. I think. I can barely see the belt jump a little bit in its movement. absolutely incredible.

Boring engineering answer: Regarding holding the most weight, it just depends on how much weight the mechanism is designed to carry; typically, if you want more weight, make it bigger. Also, the safest is the one that receives proper maintenance the most :) (But assuming no maintenance, then Pneumatic / Hydraulic since they likely won't fail suddenly and will fall slowly when they leak.)

For the parallelogram lift, him climbing was amazing. Good work as always
