We have all ridden in the elevator and waited for it. It is normal to wait for ten minutes for the elevator during peak hours. Today I will introduce to you an elevator that can be used at any time without waiting at all. Elevator, and this particular one is exciting and fun that never stops. This is called the Paternoster elevator. Its design has simply subverted our understanding of elevators. You will understand it by looking at the picture below. It comes from Germany, a powerhouse in the automation industry.
The design of the Paternoster elevator is quite special. There is no elevator door and it will not stop on any floor. The elevators on both sides go up and down at the same time. It runs continuously, eliminating the waiting time of traditional elevators. However, you must concentrate when you walk in. When the elevator reaches the right place, step in quickly. The same goes for lifting.
This kind of elevator design originated in the United Kingdom. It was designed to facilitate the transportation of goods. Later it was discovered that it was used to carry people. It is also very convenient to ride, saving you waiting time. However, its safety has always been controversial. It can be used by adults, but the elderly and children can easily fall when they step into the elevator. For safety reasons, the elevator designed in this way was later banned. . It was only recently that the Paternoster elevator was allowed to be used again.
