Maglev Racer: A Multi-Car Cyclic Magnetic Elevator (related topic Maglev Racer Maglev Toy)

i see this as a very similar designto hte paternoster elevator however this looks ike it can generator greater lift...but what happens during a power outtage and is it safe to expose people with electronics (ipods, pacemakers, cell phones etc.) to such powerful magnets? and also would these elevators be similar to ones in japan where it stops for 10 seconds on each floor than leaves or do you use call and floor buttons?

Yes it can be done & we have prototype to prove that it can work. & while its true that the Paternoster Cyclic Elevator s an old idea, but it was based on the CABLE BASED CYCLIC ELEVATOR while our technology uses non contacting Rotary Magnetic Array Wheels eliminating the cable on the process, and at the same time d magnetic array guide way can b used as a linear generator using the potential gravitational energy to produce electricity, recovering d energy that s lost going up in the building

so it has been done? is there another elevator with this concept?

Brilliant. Living in New York City, this will save lots of time and money, especially the idea of having multiple cars. Although, it has been done b4.
