Using maglev technologies - a german company is creating the first cableless elevator, which can also move left and right as well as up and down.
Thanks startrek for envisioning the turbolift for us - Pioneers here have engineeried it and made it so.
Seems overly complex to me, but if it works and its safe - then maybe it will replace convential elevators.
IT also seems much more expensive. So well have to see how it works out.
Super interesting! And futuristic to boot!
funny - if start trek makers could see that - they would drool - the track stuff i'm talking about - they just had a few unconvincing rails in the show, no monkey motion either.
