Jared, thanks! Great job! Would you please also consider modeling hi speed travelator. It's a moving walkway in which each segment has two parts that can expand. It slows down gradually at the beginning and at the end so people can get on and off, but the speed at the middle is always fast!

Nice animation. I did design work on escalators about 48 years ago. Wish that we could've had solid modelling back then - it would've been so much faster doing design layouts.
4:20 is actually not true. The handrail and steps dont move at the same speed. The handrails move a tiny bit faster to make sure that the person standing on the steps is always pulled forward and not backwards when a lot of people are holding on to the railing! To prevent you from falling backwards
@Luan Santos Sorry to burst your bubble but if look at the other replies, I can surely say I wasn't the only one. Try harder to make a joke next time bud :)
"It's really important that the handrail move at the exact same speed as the steps." Anyone who has ever held on to the handrail the whole way knows that's not exactly true.
Apart from the perfect 3D modeling, the narrative, the fluidity of the camera movement, the voice-over... what a beautiful piece of art! Came here from the oscillating fan video. Thank you for all the effort you made making these videos.
I just saw the mechanism up-close for the first time today in a shopping mall in Poznan, Poland. The exterior is made with clear plexiglass so that you can see the details. Very neat and that's what brought me to this video today.
In some escalators you can definitely feel it and see it too. In one I used many times after 1 minute your arm is straight in front of you because of the handrail going faster
In a subway station's their speed's don't match *ON PURPOSE* . For example, if u moving upstairs, handrail will be *faster* , than steps rail -> you'll be forced to _lean forward_ (if u hold on to it) -> you, most likely _do not fall_ on your back, even if u fall asleep. Same principle on going downstairs...
Me when I was a kid: "Escalators work by warping in stairs from the ether only to warp them back a few seconds later, as proved by the creepy green light under"
I'm not sure about escalators in US, but here in Europe, the handrail moves slightly faster than the stairs. This is intentional, because it keeps you aware of your surroundings and thus keeps you awake. If you fell asleep on the escalators, you might end up in hospital after a rather curious accident.
Can't imagine a Hong Kong without the Central-Mid-Levels escalator. Reminds me of when Mr Bean was shopping and riding the escalator but he didn't realize he was at the top of the escalator

Actually most escalators (that I used anyway) will have the handrail moving a bit faster than the steps. I looked it up and one reason I found has to do with wear, over time reducing the handrail speed. So this way, they get a better service life out of it. Another reason I found is safety. It would actually go faster on escalators going up, and slower on ones going down (which I think is also what I’ve seen). If someone who counts on the handrail for balance falls, they’d fall on the escalator upwards.

I've seen those inside views of an escalator, because the one at my train station has been broken for 3 months now and I can see the repair guys working on the insides.
"have you seen this view? or this view?" I have actually there's a small shopping mall in Kyiv, Ukraine that has escalators with transparent sides so it's really fun to watch them
TJ TheMemeMan The only time I saw that was in Heathrow airport, London. In the USA we don’t have that in our airports, but at universal studios as some have pointed out. Also our golf carts are silent. The ones in the London airport sound like ducks quacking.
When I was young, I had a dream that Mom and I fell down inside an escalator while it was undergoing maintenance. This video is both interesting, and could also help me get past the irrational vision that there’s a giant gaping never-ending hole under the top steps.
Actually, in Sweden, somewhere called "Heron City" the escelators are see-through which made me pretty aware of what goes into an escelator. Very informational video though!
There was an accident in a New York subway 10-20 years ago where one ate a passenger. It chewed her to pieces. I worked on ones made by Thyson-Krupp while working as a stationary engineer in a 14 level building in Barcelona, Spain. 28 escalators that we had to do emergency repairs and preventative maintenance on. A common problem was the proximity sensors that assure proper chain tension would move out of adjustment through vibration over time, or they would fail and the escalator would stop. We would have to lock out and tag out the equipment, block it off from customers, and then begin the troubleshooting process. Occasionally an electric motor would fail and have to be replaced. Big job.
There were two really long escalators on the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier when I was stationed on board. They went from the deck under the hangar bay all the way up to the deck under the flight deck (through four decks) and were designed back in the late 50s to carry pilots directly from their ready-rooms up to the flight deck. They were never activated while I was there, but everyone used them as a shortcut and under a heavy enough load, they could begin to slowly descend causing everyone to walk against them.

I’ve noticed that the handrail seems to always move slightly faster than the steps, why is that?
Because that prevents you from falling backwards
That just depends on the size of the cogs and gears you use to connect the handrail to the motor
It is intended to keep riders alert so that they occasionally have to shift their grip.
I was about to post this exact same thing.
Focus people.
4:20 is actually not true. The handrail and steps dont move at the same speed. The handrails move a tiny bit faster to make sure that the person standing on the steps is always pulled forward and not backwards when a lot of people are holding on to the railing! To prevent you from falling backwards

I've seen those inside views of an escalator, because the one at my train station has been broken for 3 months now and I can see the repair guys working on the insides.
I think you're just wonderful. From an electrical engineer and fellow curious traveler since my day two.
"have you seen this view? or this view?"
I have actually
there's a small shopping mall in Kyiv, Ukraine that has escalators with transparent sides so it's really fun to watch them
Gulliver, I suppose? There are really pretty cool escalators.
cool to watch until someone gets sucked in
@@thisissupposedtobeanonymous hey uhhhh you know this can actually happen right?
"But have you ever seen this view?"
Yes, I'm trapped in one right now, please send help

My 5yo is obsessed with you. He watched all of your videos 10+ times. He spent 90% of his screen time ever watching these 😅
lmao
y’all ever been to an airport and hear:
“please watch your step as you exit the moving walk.” over and over again?
TJ TheMemeMan not at an airport but have u ever been 2 universal bro
Kyle Criscuolo yes sir
universal studios
TJ TheMemeMan
The only time I saw that was in Heathrow airport, London. In the USA we don’t have that in our airports, but at universal studios as some have pointed out. Also our golf carts are silent. The ones in the London airport sound like ducks quacking.
YOU have...moron.
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Me at 3 am: wonder how escalators work
Mick Groenenboom me rn bruh 😂

Tomorrow, is my exam lol
Me watching it at 4:03am
Holy shit what a comedy cemetery.
When I was young, I had a dream that Mom and I fell down inside an escalator while it was undergoing maintenance. This video is both interesting, and could also help me get past the irrational vision that there’s a giant gaping never-ending hole under the top steps.
Nice to know how the Escalator works, also the background music sounds great 👏🔥😉
The real question is “why escalator don’t work most of the time?”
Real answer is" Union mechanics on 8hour coffee break"
cause you live in washington DC
"Society has come to heavily depend on escalators."
Well now I want an apocalypse movie about the world ending after an escalator breaks down.
We have to use *shudders* stairs
There's an Uncle Grandpa episode about that
Saw while my siblings are watching
"society has come to depend on these machines"
....says alot about our society
@Psycho Star says how bad society has gotten
@@jabber1990 okay boomer
With out these machines it would be so much harder to become obese 😁
Unfortunately we're livin in a century 😭😔
I thought you were memeing but you are being serious...
Okay Boomer
Thanks For Information 🙏
Bruh when I was 6 years old, I thought escalators were just stairs that produced more stairs to go up of that made any sense.
My gf: what are the you watching?
Me: how escalators work
Her: why?
Me: good question
I don’t need any thots in my life either
me: it's an uplifting topic and I don't want to be down!
because w h y n o t 🙂
as an elevator/escalator constructor, this was pretty accurate from someone who has never worked on one before. kudos
Actually, in Sweden, somewhere called "Heron City" the escelators are see-through which made me pretty aware of what goes into an escelator. Very informational video though!
kenzukicool gamer ah i was really tired when i wrote this. pretty ironic how you said ‘trough’
“Moving sidewalks”
Me, an intellectual: “*Reverse treadmills*”

Slidewalks.
Rolling Rocky360 exactly idk why people go the opposite way
1:49, Wait, These actually exist?
1:50, "Yes, they really do have these."
Always has been
There was an accident in a New York subway 10-20 years ago where one ate a passenger. It chewed her to pieces. I worked on ones made by Thyson-Krupp while working as a stationary engineer in a 14 level building in Barcelona, Spain. 28 escalators that we had to do emergency repairs and preventative maintenance on. A common problem was the proximity sensors that assure proper chain tension would move out of adjustment through vibration over time, or they would fail and the escalator would stop. We would have to lock out and tag out the equipment, block it off from customers, and then begin the troubleshooting process. Occasionally an electric motor would fail and have to be replaced. Big job.
Love learning about escalator lore
"You didn't have to cut off!"

There were two really long escalators on the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier when I was stationed on board. They went from the deck under the hangar bay all the way up to the deck under the flight deck (through four decks) and were designed back in the late 50s to carry pilots directly from their ready-rooms up to the flight deck. They were never activated while I was there, but everyone used them as a shortcut and under a heavy enough load, they could begin to slowly descend causing everyone to walk against them.
That's cool, thanks for sharing
The first 2 minutes was a super helpful, thank you
1:50 You can see the bottom step pop out of existence.

Haven't seen the video but liked because you always deliver
I still remember how I was mesmerized the first time I saw these moving stairs as a kid
