Vacuum Elevators »

The Vacuum Elevator is the first residential elevator that runs merely by the forces of gravity. It is the pumps or turbines of the vacuum that pull you up to the next floor, and the slow release of air pressure that floats you down.
This Self supporting vacuum elevator can operate upto 35 feet (10.5m), travel height, or four stops, with no pits or hoistways required. Since a pit is not needed, the vacuum elevator appeals to any existing home or boat than can accommodate a 3 foot (1m) diameter ring, and can sacrifice one day for our fast installation time.
As SAARElevo, we are an innovative, technology based company, and the designers and manufacturers of the vacuum elevator. By the application of simple principles of physics, highest safety standards, with no nonsense solutions and attractive materials, who knows what we will think up next……time travel perhaps?

Outstanding Features

• 24 volt internal circuits with no energy consumption during descent

• 3 different sizes available: 30”, 37“& 52” diameter

• A three color selection: standard–navy gray, upgrades-light gray and white

• Low cost

The Vacuum Elevator combines a smooth vertical cylinder with a coaxial car that moves up and down through air suction. The principle operation of the elevator is based on the ascending push generated by the difference between the atmospheric pressure on the top of the car and the atmospheric pressure under the car. The depression (vacuum) required to lift the car is achieved by turbines operating as exhaust fans which are located at the top of the elevator.

• The piston gear surrounded by a sliding air tight seal allows an almost frictionless movement and hoists the car due to the pneumatic depression generated on the upper part.

• A valve regulating inflow of air controls the pneumatic depression, enables descent and controls the speed of the car.

• The lower part of the shaft is open to ensure free entrance of air at atmospheric pressure.

• A teach floor or level, perimeter seals on the door are self-sealing due to the action of the atmospheric pressure.

• The car has locking devices to stop at the upper and lower limits of travel.

• A safe braking device (chute) activates in case of free fall.
