system, the carriage and the counter weight.
The building consists of two elevators installed into
a 4 storey building. The length between each floor
is 30 cm. The building is made of 3 mm thick MDF
with 8 aluminum rectangular sections for strength,
4 for each elevator. On top, there is a flat 2 mm
thick aluminum sheet metal panel where the
motors, the drive system and the electrical system
are placed on.
CHARACTERISTICS
The total length of the building is 1.5 m while the
width is 0.6 m. Each elevator has a counter weight.
According to Adrian, the weight of the
counterweight should be 50% that of a full
elevator [1]. In this case, the counterweight is
3.745 kg.
