ligthouse with elevator

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

... here we have a lighthouse, a reconstructed, old project.
the conventional construction methods of the well-known lighthouses of bygone times show, in addition to the technical simplicity of the buildings, a remarkable false construction, which has been adopted almost unchanged over the decades, centuries!
since the earliest days man knows the laws of load lifting device cables, which one can also use as a kind of elevator.
the pattern lighthouse in this project - included as a drawing sheet in the scope - is still characterized by the fact that the interior of the lighthouse - can be achieved only very laboriously - by spiral staircases - and is essentially not to use properly.

in this project we want to use the know-how of the early days with regard to load lifting devices, which also come from the shipping industry - in order to get loads, for example the heavy technology for the beacon directly on top of the lighthouse ,
We use a kind of lifting mechanism, as it has been known since antiquity - and in its expression - on an endless chain laufend- sometimes as an elevator, slowly running here in Germany - as paternoster - known and loved

the reason for this is that we also want to show a lighthouse, the technology, the construction - but we also need a way to bring people up - and to bring them down again!
That would not work on a single staircase!
So we use the floors directly - and put outside two shafts, in which the circumferential construction of the cabs, slowly endlessly move: that is, the built-in elevator is always running, requires no control - but only one on and off switch.

You enter the open cabins while you are slowly wandering and you also climb in the driving mode - as I said the elevator always moves slowly, never stops - off, arbitrarily!
one page up the other side!

The study here shows - it's a real study, the dimensions are so on a scale 1: 1 - that it works and that you can build it.
we want to build it that way!

the study here is a rough structure: details are still missing - that means i will complete the documents and then exchange later.
