Homemade Elevator Design with Pulley
Homemade Elevator Design with Pulley
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:
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
Hypothesis
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:
Theoretical framework:
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,
In addition to collapsing too often. The first elevator was installed in 1857.
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,
Although the first electric geared elevators began to be installed as early as 1880.
At first, very slow and only suitable for low-rise buildings. But in 1904, elevators were installed.
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.
