Design lift without electricity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on generating power for an elevator without electricity, exploring various methods such as using animals on treadmills, waterwheels, and counterweight systems. The original lifts in the Eiffel Tower utilized a pulley system with concrete blocks and buoyancy to assist in movement. The user expresses a desire for ideas to extend their project beyond a first-floor operation. However, the forum emphasizes the importance of individual effort and does not provide direct assistance for homework. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a reminder that users must demonstrate their own understanding before seeking help.

Physics news on Phys.org
Sure. Dogs, horses, people, or elephants, etc. walking on a treadmill or turning a windlass. Waterwheels. The possibilities are quite numerous.

Welcome to the PF.

As you say, it is your schoolwork project. So you must show some effort on your part before we can be of tutorial help. What are your thoughts? What is the exact statement of the project?
 
The original lifts in the Eiffel Tower were operated by a multiple pulley system. The counter balance weights were solid blocks of concrete in chambers underground. When the chambers were filled with water the buoyancy resulted in a small movement of the concrete blocks and the lift moving a long way up the tower.
