Omg thank you! On my recent ski trips i always wondered what is the mechanics of these cars how these cars are slowing down and this demonstration was the easiest to be understand for me on all CZcams! Thanks man, keep up the great modelling videos! :)
I'm glad this video gave you the answer!
We just got our first small gondola here on our ski hill.
A search led me here. Thank you for the perfect explanation.. ! Well done..
“Omg”. 😂😂😂😂
same
Fabulous explanation, kudos to you man🎉
Thanks for this. Another item in this is how the cars accelerate back up to the cable speed. Each of the rubber tires turns a bit faster, so that when the grip grabs the rope, they are both going the same speed. Otherwise, the rope would quickly wear out.
I've just been at a ski resort and was wondering about this. I assumed, and it seemed like, the last couple of meters of the rail before the cable car reattached to the cable was slightly down hill, allowing the cable car to accelerate back up to speed.
Fantastic explanation! I just got back from riding Disney’s Skyliner gondola and the detachable grip looks exactly as you drew it. While my family was enjoying the ride (like normal people) I was trying to sort out how it all worked. I got pretty close, but your video got me the rest of the way. That you so much for this concise and informative video!
Thank you for enjoying this video. I'm really glad it helped.
I came here straight off the Skyliner, too! 😂
I love riding these cable cars, the detachable ones always have this nice acceleration when they leave the station, it's kinda like being in an airplane.
What fascinates me about these is that the clamps hold the car in place merely by a set of springs and applying friction. It's kinda weird to think that in the mountains, you're above ground by dozens of meters, a kilometer away from the ground station and all that keeps your car attached to the cable is a mere clamp lol.
By the way, in the Kleinwalsertal in Austria, I've seen a cable car with a really clever design:
Basically, two cable car lines that are connected via a mid-station. The cable car leaves the ground station, reaches the mid station (with it's return bullwheel for the ground station and another drive wheel for the upper station), where it is detached from cable 1 and slowly moves through the station, continues on straight towards the cable 2 and then continues upwards to the mountain top.
You can easily and conveniently get into or out of the cable car in the middle of the ride and depending on necessity, the two lines can be run seperately, cause there's a set of switches in the middle station.
lol same. Whenever I visit HK, I always have a little panic attack whenever I realize we’re above the waters and about to climb the mountain haha
"Double stage" cable cars are fairly common, at least here in Italy
yeah this f frightening me as hell :D
Been to Austria last week for holidays and I couldn’t stop wrapping my mind around how the cars detach from the cable 😁that’s just the video I was looking for!
Where in Austria have you been? 🙂
Recently I rode in cable car and I surprised with this mechanism. It was not clear to me how it detached and joined with the cable. Here you explained it very clearly. Thanks.
I've always been fascinated by cable cars but never completely understood the mechanics of them. Thank you for such detailed explanation! Very cool!!!
Thank you for this! My 4 year old was very curious about cable cars and had a lot of questions I simply didn't have the answer to.
Once, I had watched and observed how they move slower at the stations than between the pylons, but I couldn't figure it out. That was an epic explanation. Thank you
I saw this mechanism in Switzerland a few years ago. I was trying to remember how it works and I stumbled upon you video. Great explanation, thank you!
THE BEST EXPLANATION EVER!
Boarding and unboarding was a totally mystery until now. Thank you for the video.
Thank heaven for videos like this one...no BS, just precise and accurate information. One like awarded.
My teacher told us to make an elevator. I offered to make one of these for extra points. This looks hella hard to replicate, but thank you for showing me the right path!
When I was a child I built a system like this on the stairs out of various construction toys I had (K'nex, TinkerToys, Capsela), but designed it as a purely fixed-grip system, and didn't have any chairs or gondola cabins attached, that would have been more difficult - just had a string moving. That would be a good starting point, next would be to try to design chairs or cabins. Detachable like seen here would be very difficult and complicated to build on a small scale, I'm not sure off hand if I've ever seen a working one, though I've seen plenty of videos of fixed-grip. I think I might have seen one that detached, but they didn't have working grips, just sort of sat on the rope, and hence couldn't climb very steep without sliding.
This is an excellent explanation and visual representation. Thank you! I love skiing but had always been uneasy on the chairlifts. now that I see how they work, I'm much more comfortable. thank you!
Now I know how safe they are and it only detaches within terminals.
There are a Lot of cable cars here in Taiwan and I only ride them once because they are the detachable ones.
But this video convinced me they are safe.
You just answered what I have wondered for years but was too lazy to look up. These visuals must have taken a long time. Great work!
This is very helpful, thank you. I've been fascinated by these cable car mechanisms since I saw them first in Switzerland 20 years ago. Now my 9 years old son is asking me how our variable speed chair lifts work exactly (as I already explained to him that the chair is temporarily transferred to a slower cable for boarding). Now we'll be able to watch this video. What's interesting, I got this suggestion without searching.
Thank you！Straight to the point. Easy to understand. It's hard to find such concise video online.
I've always wondered how these things work when I go skiing. This video is so useful!
One of life's curiosities satisfied. Ty
A perfect video! Short, easy to understand and very informative. Great work!
FINALLY..
I was going to Langkawi(Malaysia) 2-3 times and always thinking about the function.
Finally someone can give my sleep well.
Thanks for the video.
FROM MALAYSIA.
My basic knowledge of these transportation cars have now _elevated._
So simple, and so effective! Thank you, sir, this is hugely appreciated.
Thanks for making this. I have wondered how cable cars work and now I know.
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
This was something I always wanted to know, Thank you.
Nice, simple and straight to the point
Thanks for the info. I've always wondered about the cable-car attachment and the car passing through the pylons.
Thank you. That was very clear and quick, which I always appreciate.
Thanks. this is the clearest explanation of how cable car systems work. love the animations. subscribed
I worked a Von Roll type 101 skyway over the summer. Pretty crazy how the cars from the 60s/80s have the same technology/engineering behind it in terms of the grips. Only difference is the wheel assembly gets lifted up with the lever moving in either direction to either be locked or unlocked on the cable.
Thanks for this video! I rode one of these when I was visiting the Great Wall in China and was wondering how it works. Great visuals and explanation:)
I've been wondering about this for years. Thanks.
This was exactly the video I needed to answer my questions!
very clear explanation, thanks!
Mate that was absolutely brilliant, thank you for your hard work.
Wow excellent video, straight to the point. I never knew how they worked
ne güzel anlatmış adam ya, teşekkür ederim kendisine, bizim mühendisler nasıl anlatıyor gidiyor oradaki amcadan bilgi aldım böyleymış diye anlatıyor, bu şekilde anlatan da mühendis olduğunu söylüyor .
CZcams can now read my thoughts to make recommendations :D
Beautifully animated and concise. Nicely done.
Always wanted to know this !! Thanks
Really insightful video, it helped me understand. Thanks!
Always wondered how that worked. Awesome vid, and awesome job with the modeling!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Wow! Great technology and great short video. Thanks!
You are answering my questions..I had for a long time...
Just last month I thought so much about it
thank you
Very interesting. I went on the London Thames cable car last week.
Super. The illustration has answered my question since long time. Thanks. 👍
What a nice channel with nicely made animations and clear explanations. Subscribed without second thoughts!
Amazing innovation. I went to gondola twice this week wanted to know how this works.
Great video, dude! thanks for clear explanation :)
I actually learned a lot in the three minutes i watched and Thats super rare so super good job
Brilliant. Super clear explanation. Thank you
I finally know how these things work!❤
Great graphic and narrative. Thank you.
I like cable car mechanisms involving guide rails pressing levers and things. The one in London uses hydraulic doors which are closed by a guide wheel being pressed down by a rail
LUCIUS: Absolutely brilliant explanation. Thank you, sir!
Thanks! I tried to make it as simple as possible.
@@3DLivingStudio We have ridden them on Etna and Taormina (Sicilia) and in Hakone (Japan); and I always wondered how the different speeds were obtained. Thank you, Lucius.
Thank you so much Ive always wonder how that works!
Man, amazing video. You actually made me remember my childhood trip on one certain mountain, since I always wondered, why there have to be the wheelbarrow wheels at the top of the turn wheels, and also why it is suddenly going slow, now I finally know, thanks a lot heh 😁👍
what mountain?
Great video! Very well explained
Excellent animation!
Thank you! This is a great video.
great video! i always wondered how it would go slow ehn loading on and then super fast when going off!
EXACTLY the video I was expecting on the webb thankyou
Have watched some of your videos! really educational!
Love your videos, keep up the good work!!
Thank you for supporting!
This is an excellent video to watch, to understand how cable car system works.
Great video! I wondered how this works
Nicely done. Easy and digestible.
Great illustration of a very clever technology. Thanks
always wondered how those worked. Thank u
Thank you. Now I feel so much safer riding those contraption
thanks for such a good animation and explaination
I never knew this! Good video!

Excellent video. straighforward explanation and the animations make it very easy to follow. I can't imagine a better way to do this video.
Great video and demonstration, love it 💚💯🔥
This is cool! Thank you 😊
Amazing video. Thanks
Good narration and good animation. Useful and informative.
Thank you!
Lovely animations thank you from Australia
Very interesting ideal transport system for people up in mountain's and deep trenches
There are some places in the world - like in China or South America - where entire villages were built on mountaintops centuries ago. People have been living in those isolated places for centuries and sometimes, their governments offer to relocate them, which would mean having to abandon those villages.
Aerial tramways would be an ideal solution for those people that could help them overcome their isolation without having to leave their homes behind.
Thanks alot for your explination
Very cool!!
Thank you. Very informative.
Great explainer! Thank you
awesome. thanks
