The document provides an overview of the Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China at 632 meters, which features state-of-the-art elevators, including the world's fastest. It discusses the technical specifications of the building's elevator system, including regenerative power usage, advanced safety mechanisms, and the innovative 'helixator' technology for vertical transport. Additionally, it includes references and comparisons to existing elevators and escalators, highlighting the cutting-edge engineering involved.

5. About the building :
• Shanghai tower is the
tallest building in china
with a 632m High .
• Housing a total area of
578077 sm of world-class
office, hotel, entertainment
, retail and cultural venues .

12. Shanghai tower’s
Cheinlae’sv Sahtaongrh a:i Tower, which is
scheduled to be completed in 2014,
will be the country’s tallest building
and the second-tallest in the world,
after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. It will
also have the distinction of having
the world’s fastest elevator, which
will be able to reach speeds of 40
miles per hour. The building will
incorporate 106 elevators and will
set a world record for furthest-traveling
single elevator, at 1,898
feet. It will be the third-tallest
building in the world after Sky City
in China is completed next year.

13. • motor in the elevators has a
built-in converter that
regenerates electricity. This
reduces the elevator's power
consumption by more than 30
percent, according to
Mitsubishi.The safety gear,
which grasps the elevator rails if
there's a cable problem, is made
of ceramic material that can
withstand high heat and friction.
The gear itself consists of two
stages to better handle the
kinetic energy from high
speeds.Within the shaft .
• the aerodynamic elevator cars
will be hauled by Mitsubishi's
new Sflex-rope, which is made
of high-intensity steel wire
strands that are wrapped in
plastic

19. • Hydraulic jacks and many other
technological advancements such as
automobile brakes and dental chairs
work on the basis of Pascal's
Principle, named for Blaise Pascal,
who lived in the seventeenth century.
Basically, the principle states that the
pressure in a closed container is the
same at all points. Pressure is
described mathematically by a Force
divided by Area. Therefore if you
have two cylinders connected
together, a small one and a large one,
and apply a small Force to the small
cylinder, this would result in a given
pressure. By Pascal's Principle, this
pressure would be the same in the
larger cylinder, but since the larger
cylinder has more area, the force
emitted by the second cylinder would
be greater. This is represented by
rearranging the pressure formula P =
F/A, to F = PA. The pressure stayed

:

36. The high speed Helixator is a
combination of emerging
technologies and existing
inventions into a machine for
continuous vertical transport.
The Helixator technology is
flexible to the point it can be
developed with any of the
several existing acceleration
methods, the figures presented
in the next paragraph emerge
from those machines statistics.
People boarding the High speed
Helixator would travel at an
estimated speed of 12 km/h
(vertical speed 1m/sec) crossing
a floor every 5 seconds and a

37. Helixator for La tour Eiffel
In this proposed design, using 4
regular speed Helixator machines
increases the capacity of the
structure to 12,000 visitors per hour
excluding the existing elevator
system. It allows free movement of
visitors between the ground, first
and second levels and provides a
breathtaking panorama over the
city and monument. The average
riding time will be about 3 minutes
per level and there will be no
waiting time as with the elevators.
