An environmental-friendly elevator for your house

A number of people love the feeling that a home produces built along Victorian lines. There is something about the columns shelf and aesthetics in general. Although many houses are built to get like something from the early nineteen hundreds (or even earlier) look these days with all the modern conveniences known to man. Apart from the usual TV and air controllers, many homes have elevators in them. Elevators are a great way to go from one floor to another, especially if they are old people in the home. It's not just houses, either. Yachts, condominiums and villas, all lifts, as long as they are on two floors in height. 

Elevators are a good idea, but then they have to be carefully installed. They can be quite messy if not planned. For example, if you did not come for a lift if you designed your residence then you have to make room for the elevator shaft separately and also for a foundation, a pit be dug for the bottom of the shaft. Also, the conventional elevator is quite heavy and consume a lot of extra power.

There is a simple solution to avoid all these problems. A new type of lift is produced, the so-called pneumatic vacuum elevator. It takes its name from the fact that it runs completely on the power of compressed air and vacuum technology. 


The structure of the vacuum elevator is simple. It consists of three components, basically. The first is a long cylindrical tube, which is considered the slide or in the shaft head. It is made of curved polycarbonate panels. Then there's the elevator car itself, which runs inside the slide. The car is also made of transparent polycarbonate fiber, which means that you have a great view while climbing and descending. And finally, there is a suction device that includes all of the valves, turbines, and controls. This is placed on top of the shaft. 

The bottom of the hoistway is opened so that air is allowed to flow in regular atmospheric pressure on. the air above the elevator car at the upper end of the chute to the vacuum using the turbine blades maintained as a fan. Thus, the differential pressure between the space leading to the top and bottom of the elevator car a push, which produces the advancement of the elevator. The process of descent is even easier, the car just slides downward pressure. 

There are a number of advantages in using this type of lift. Firstly, the power consumption is very low during the ascent and not during descent. And there are mechanical safety devices provided on each floor, not to slip the car. Also, in case there is a power failure, the car rises slowly on the lowest floor. The cylindrical elevator shaft of modular sections that fit easily made into one another, so you can carry it easily if you change houses. It is an environmentally friendly and convenient option....
