South Dakota from Minneapolis- Moving In- Starting Projects
We moved from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls South Dakota. We raised our family in Valparaiso Indiana. This feels a lot more like Indiana and we are happy to be here. We have a bigger garage and room for a hot rod. What should I get? We have a lot of projects coming up. Ceiling shelves, elevator, painting, outdoor stuff. We hope you’ll join us.

Sneak Preview Trial Crash Test Garage Attic Elevator Emergency Brake in Minneapolis
zhlédnutí 1,9KPřed 3 lety
We built the elevator/lift. We got comments about safety and added fall arresters. I started thinking about a real braking system. Designed it, built it, and it worked. But we never tested it in a free fall situation with weight on it. Until now. We added 300lbs of weight and cut the rope. Here is a sneak preview. Full video is coming soon.
Garage Elevator Emergency Brake Otis Inspired For Attic Lift in Minneapolis
zhlédnutí 59KPřed 3 lety
When we posted the first video, we were really surprised at the response, at this point the original video is approaching 800k views. The comments were amazing. A percentage of them were about safety. We designed and built this emergency brake modeled in a way after the original braking system designed by Elijah Otis. We don’t use a ratchet system or teeth because we don’t have that capability....

    Appreciate the video. I have one concern; I assembled something similar to this once using a similar hoist motor assembly. Upon close inspection I noticed that the hoist housing that attaches to the metal tube support beam was only connected to the motor by 4 bolts through threaded holes of maybe 3mm of steel. My solution for this was to heavily strap the motor to the housing. Now those housing bolts “may” never strip but I felt more comfortable having a secondary safety just in case.

    I know you created another vid with an additional breaking system. But I'm curious about the fall arrestors. The ring on the arrestor looks like a weak point. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the snapping point of that ring? Additionally the eye blot you've attached to looks smaller than the one for the hoist.

  • @johndeerefarmer4483
    @johndeerefarmer4483 Před měsícem

    What you have works fine IF the cable breaks. What if the braking mechanism in the hoist breaks or the gears strip out and it starts falling- but falls with enough tension on the cable that the safety mechanism doesn't engage? Since your hoist is a cheap Chinese unit this is a distinct possibility. Same with the fall arrestors. If it's a slower fall they probably will not engage either. Lets see you take the hoist apart, see how the brake works and simulate a failure there with both the braking mechanism then the fall arrestors. Thanks for the video.

    The “beam” you have running horizontally up top that the winch is mounted to should be turned the other way.. the strength of lumber or beam building gets its strength from the boards being laid vertical instead of horizontal

    Be nice to know what engines were in these things {if'n ya remember} My guess, the Chevelle was hopped up a bit ? My era was about 7-8 yrs prior to, with kinda a sleeper, 68 ElCamino. No S.S., Had a factory 350 in it but it was the top of the line, 350H.P. 4-speed w/a posi rear end. Was a good time 'till I tore it all up.

    The header members laying flat is a glaring engineering failure. Like a floor joist, it should have been one member on edge. 2 would be okay but the important thing is that they are tall like a floor joist. A stack of papers are easily bent. A proper header can be placed on top and fastened to the one below.
