@@julnu Definitely. Near where I live, there's a 2.2km underground "elevator", it's the longest one in all occidental countries. The mine is actually 3km deep (it's the deepest mine in all Americas, look for Laronde mine in Quebec, Canada), but you need to take another "elevator" to go even deeper. I guess they stopped the elevator at 2.2km because they were reaching the point were it didn't make sense to go longer, the cable is having a hard time to support itself. Oh and the motor in woud be an issue too. Even with a counter weight, the deeper you go, the closer to the surface the conterweight goes. That means you now have lot of cable on one side, but almost none on the other side, which isn't well balanced. Just to give you an idea, for a 2km shaft (another one, not the one I just talked about), you'll need about two 1600HP motors for the service cage (the elevator) and one 8400HP motor for the skip (the elevator to get the minerals to the surface). That's a lot of power and the kind of stuff that will go in the tens of millions really fast.

In 2010 I was in Cairo and I went to a 20 story building (the tallest building I have ever been in) there were two elevators, one for even floors ans the other for odd floors, if you got on the wrong one you can simply get to the nearest floor and use the stairs for one floor, I think it is a brilliant idea for a midrise building

Very interesting how vertical transportation can vary in so many different ways! Lots of elevator systems in the office towers in downtown Toronto have a very efficient system when it comes to traveling by vertical transportation! It's called Destination Dispatch (this name came from ThyssenKrupp)! Other companies give this as their product a different name. For example, Schindler Elevator Corporation calls it PORT! I went on an in-depth tour of the MAJOR modernization project done by Schindler at Scotia Plaza (40 King Street West) and their Mid/High-Rise & High-Rise banks with double deck elevators (they are also called "Stacked" elevators there) and those two elevator banks' original Gearless Schindler 7000 models reached max speeds of up to 1,400 feet per minute for the High-Rise and 1,200 feet per minute for the Mid/High-Rise. Now with the newer Schindler 7000 AC Gearless Traction machines... they now reach speeds up to 1,600 feet per minute (8 meters per second)! Very smooth too! Thanks for making this video! 😊

Lived in dubai for 18 years and slowly I've noticed an increase of mentions over the years. Hard to think I used to live in this obscure place that no-one had ever heard of before 10 years ago.

Elevator: *exists* HAI: I think we can work with this..

It always lifts my mood when you upload

As an electrical engineer I'd really love to know how the provide all that power to all those floors/units. It must be a HUGE busduct system with a gigantic switch gear on the first floor.

I've done mantance on a 21 floor building, what's interesting is that they hand a few different power rooms so basically I think the bridge kalifa has maybe 20 connects

I just love this guy's humor

I came from DieselDucy's channel. So, even you guys know about elevator enthusiasts! Keep up the great work on your videos.

I think the vertical transport system can be better explained showing how the various designs differ and which design is optimal in which circumstances.

I guess Half as Interesting have played Yoot Tower / Sim Tower. 💚

welp, time to fire up dosbox. now i need to play simtower

The elevator business has its ups and downs.... that Sim Tower is amazing!

I was very lucky to go up to the observation deck in this tower, it's honestly amazing and if you ever find yourself in Shanghai, you've gotta check out the tower as well as the science museum in Shanghai.

747's : half as interesting : Toyota corrolas : real life lore

I absolutely ADORE the SimTower allusion!!!

"Welcome to the bottom of the barrel" About time someone greeted me.

That Elevator deserves a picture on the Guinness world of records

I want a 20+ minute video on the wendover channel about the economics of elevators and infrastructure.

To transport people quickly... I'm guessing

Nice implementation of the game SimTower in this! I used to play that game for many hours.

I was just getting ready to tell you I learned everything about not being able to use one big elevator from SimTower when the reference popped up, hahah.

Anybody remember Roald Dahl's ' Charlie and the Great glass elevator ' ?

These are planes attached to buildings

“Why the World’s Fastest Elevator Exists” Well, if there’s at least one elevator, then one of them _has_ to be the fastest one…

World's fastest elevator: exists. Nobody: Half as interesting: why?

0:42 shout out to real engineering

Me: "I gotta get to floor 78 in two minutes!" Elevator: Time to shift into *MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE*

“As *alpha* as an all elevator building sounds...” hahaha sauced a like for that one

Double decker elevator? That sounds like a bucket list experience.

So that's how you make more efficient elevators in theme hotel. If only it was possible

My emotions are quite elevated after this video...

That Sim Tower cameo tho...that game and its pink elevators were my life.
