Magnetic Elevator in Japan

Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp., which specializes in building highways and elevators, is developing a project to develop a new elevator with Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) technology.

Toshiba's future magnetic elevator will be quieter and more comfortable than the current elevator. In picture: vacuum elevator.

This project will be completed in 2008 and will be launched in Japan for testing.

Toshiba experts say that lifts, in the future with Maglev technology, will make noise no more comfortable and more comfortable than conventional elevator types today.

More respectable, this modern elevator can climb up to a maximum speed of 300m / min for the first series production. The following series, according to the ambition of the Japanese technicians, will be the elevator with a maximum speed of 1.010m / min!

So far the Maglev technique has only been applied in the development of railway speed, for express trains.

As an example, in China, since 2004 there have been express trains connecting the capital of Shanghai with Pudong International Airport 30 km apart.

With a speed train of 340km / h, people only need about 8 minutes on the train to arrive!

Maglev is just one of many techniques to develop the elevator industry, according to Rembert Horstman, commercial director of ThyssenKruup Elevator.

But first of all, "the safety of consumers in the development of velocity must be at the top, not the dangerous modern inventions ..." And, to prove that Germany is not inferior Any country in the world in advanced technology (which is safe), Horsman revealed that Kruup is developing the TWIN scheme, with the technology that allows both 'elevator rooms' to operate. At the same time, in the same 'a tunnel'.
