Homemade Elevator Design with Pulley

The project involves designing and constructing a model elevator using a pulley system, developed in three phases: building the structure, incorporating a pulley for movement, and enabling the elevator to rise and fall. It aims to apply physical principles learned in class while analyzing the functionality of elevators, which have a historical background dating back to ancient civilizations. The project utilizes materials like cardboard and wood, and references historical advancements in elevator technology.

Summary

The present project consists of the design and construction, at the model level, of an elevator with
pulley
The design and construction of the elevator were developed in three phases:

1) Construction of the elevator structure, designing a model.


2) Construction of the model, incorporating a pulley, to be able to elevate the elevator.
3) Incorporate a pulley for the movement, in such a way that it is possible for the elevator
it can rise and fall as desired.
Introduction

Almost all of us have used an elevator, but we have never asked ourselves how it works or what
Physical fundamentals will be used in its design.

The realization of upcoming technical projects, related to the everyday environment, motivates to inspire the
reality, investigating the technical systems that are used daily.

Therefore, aware of the great utility that elevators provide to society and the necessity
that exists in the bellidina students to contrast everything learned, it was chosen to delve into the
Research on the design and construction of a homemade elevator with a pulley
Problem Statement

Project: A pulley elevator

Situation: Create an elevator with the help of a pulley

Hypothesis

Make an elevator using a small pulley

The source of movement of an elevator consists of a pulley so that the elevator can go up and
download easily.
If the elevator is light, the pulley will do its job very well, since the pulley will be made of cardboard.
Objectives:

General objective:

Apply the physical principles learned in class, construction of an elevator and installation of a
pulley

Specific objective:

-Analizar el funcionamiento del ascensor y diseñar un modelo.

Analyze and design the pulley installation.


Correct use of the pulley
Own organizational capacity.
Satisfaction from a job well done through consistency.

Theoretical framework:

Historical review of elevators:


Although we think that elevators are a very modern invention, the need to use
devices that help people or things to go up or down are very ancient. Since the first
civilizations! Of course, they were not as sophisticated as those of today.
There are historical references that say that the Roman emperor Titus, in the year 80 AD, did
build an elevator to incorporate it into the Colosseum, so that both the gladiators and the
beasts could access the arena.
This elevator was built by the architect Archimedes and operated with ropes and pulleys.
Old but with an idea, since the old and medieval elevators followed the system of
traction based on the current crane mechanism.

The truly most evolutionary system since antiquity, which ultimately led to the creation
of the current elevators, it was the one based on screw transmission. The increase in the price of
soil, which led to creating plots with more plants using the same square meters, and the
the drop in steel prices were the reasons that led men to think of some
device that would allow to meet the needs of going up and down buildings, without using stairs.

But this did not happen until the 19th century. The first step was taken by Elisha Otis, founder of the
company that currently bears its name, in 1852, who invented the first safety brake
for elevators. So far, riding in one of the steam lifts has been quite an odyssey,

with this brake, in a five-story building.

In 1872, a worker from the Otis company, C. W. Baldwin, invented the hydraulic elevator, despite
which did not start to be produced until two years later. This new type of elevator replaced the one from
vapor. And until 1904, hydraulic elevators were the dominant system in buildings,

first gearless machines and these displaced the hydraulic ones.

These new elevators, fast and with extremely high height limits, caused a revolution of
the skyscrapers. Their operation was so good that they continued to be used until 1948.
