Nice simple tech idea.


Nice simple tech idea.

Originally shared by The Economist

Kone, a Finnish liftmaker, announced that it has devised a system that should be able to raise an elevator a kilometre (3,300 feet) or more. Since the effectiveness of lifts is one of the main constraints on the height of buildings, Kone’s technology could result in buildings truly worthy of the name “skyscraper” http://econ.st/196PsTk
