Did you built the gondola and unhooksystem to the valley and mountain station without any guidance? Do you have more detailed pictures, who explain more precisely how to build it? I have to mention that I’m 12 years old.
On my gondola that I am making I can't get the conveyer to work properly get and the blocks you used for your wheel device on your gondola can you please send me the parts you used for both and how they work. Thanks love your gondola. :)
And ProMinecrafter36: There's one Power Functions XL driving the haul rope (IIRC, it's in the top terminal) and one PF/M motor in each terminal driving the conveyor system.
ProMinecrafter36 Correct. If they were allowed to operate at different speeds, the gondolas would get out of sync very quickly. There are disconnect switches though, so either conveyor motor can be turned off for a short period of time, to increase spacing between gondolas that have already left the station, or decrease spacing between gondolas that are approaching.
Auto interval was a system on an earlier chairlift which would briefly stop the conveyor in one terminal if a sensor found that a chair had arrived too early, ensuring roughly equal spacing between the chairs.
Hi Timmy! I love the lift. I still cant figure out how to rewire lego motors to standard electric pushbuttons. I built myself a Doppelmayr fixed-grip single with a control panel just like yours, but cant get it to function with the motors correctly. And one last thing. Can you tell me how/where you get the music for your videos? Thanks;)
Thanks Erich. The rope ends are connected by a quirky combination of tape, sewing (between the nylon threads), and superglue. You can see this splice appearing in the right of the picture at 0:39.
@@TheTimmy376 tx. good to know others are struggling too ;). I was looking for a better solution and found that paracords are great because you can simply melt the two ends together over a candle - I bought this one and the melted connection is surprisingly strong: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O8M11JA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ProMinecrafter36: There's no reply button on your comment, so I hope you see this. The trick to re-wiring the motors is to cut off the plug at the end, leaving about an inch of wire for the plug so you can solder it back on if you want to. The motor, in fact, only has two wires, even though the insulation allows for four. Plug these into any 9V power source that can supply at least 2 amps for an XL motor, or 1 amp for a regular motor. I actually used a 12V supply, which works well, but appears to damage the medium-size motors over time. To reverse direction, simply swap the wires' polarity. About the music, I can't tell you because of copyright issues, sorry ;)
The attachment and detachment of the grip is not as difficult as you might think. The grip simply "rests" on the cable, it does not positively engage, so the biggest challenge is aligning the grip with the rope properly. Tension is an entirely different story, but once you've built the terminals strong enough, it comes down to keeping them in place with some heavy rocks.
If you mean the buzzer at 2:54; it is triggered by the arrival of the transport gondola. There is only one, and it doesn't have automatic doors. Instead, its grip hits a switch when it enters the terminal, which sounds the buzzer.
How did you keep the gondola's from slipping down the cable. They don't appear to be attached. I coach a Lego Robotics club and they are stuck on this problem for their sky lift.
They are not actually "attached" to the haul rope. The grip consists of two fixed wheels, each lined with a small rubber band. With a 2 millimeter cable, this works very well, and I've never seen a gondola slip down in normal operation. But I can imagine on a very steep slope or with heavy gondolas, this method may not work reliably.
It was created from scratch, and is now demolished. But if you'll wait just a few more weeks, we'll have something else for you to buy, so stay tuned...
It can carry about 50 grams, so the total gondola weight is about 150 grams. But if you try to run it with all 8 gondolas loaded to that weight, the gearbox will start making some weird noises :)
That's because it's the transport gondola :) This is the one exception that doesn't have automatic doors. Instead, it hits a switch when in enters the terminal which triggers an alert sound (see 2:50)

8 years later and this is still awesome!
10 years now!
I just love the door open and close system! Very well made!
Thanks :)
Me too
Awesome! This is amazing, I've always wanted to build a ski lift as I'm an advanced skier & love k'nex & legos. This is great!
Thanks
Greg Golfomitsos same here!
Gopherguts 2 third!
Great! Another great build of lego gondola with workable doors! Makes me want to build one as well...
Door close and open system is amazing
This needs to become an official set. LEGO hasn't done ski sets in years...
This music gives me nostalgia

Please make instructions for this. Its so cool. Thats hard job to make automatic doors and high-tech control system
I always thought about this and you built it for real, nice!
Fantastic!
The only thing I would do is a longer station and a bigger speed reference between station and cable. Well done!
Completely amazing!
You need to publish this to LEGO!
The door open/close was very clever.
Thanks
And I can't build a fixed double :(
Hey, cool project!! I want to make 1 for my own but I don’t know how to do it. Can you make instructions with partlist for me? thank you in advance.
This is awesome! Where do you get the control panel and gear box from? Also which lego technic kit did you use?
hi, i think your gondolas are wonderful, do you have assembly instructions
I love the slowing down system
Bonjour, bon travail ! Quo man vous avez réussi à faire saint télécabine. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this is sick bro
Nice job, especially for the doors, which are not simple to include at all !
Thanks! Love your seaplane by the way ;)
Thank you ;)
Qnjvhhvhh

Now this is awesome
This is crazy, what type of rope did you use?
Can you send it to Lego or create a tutorial or a book of instructions for this amazing machine?
Oh, good gravey! How the, where the, what the. That is amazing.
On my gondola that I am making I can't get the conveyer to work properly get and the blocks you used for your wheel device on your gondola can you please send me the parts you used for both and how they work. Thanks love your gondola. :)
TheTimmy376, you are very clever to do this. Great Job!
Thanks

Dein video finde ich super
Ja, echt mega!
And ProMinecrafter36: There's one Power Functions XL driving the haul rope (IIRC, it's in the top terminal) and one PF/M motor in each terminal driving the conveyor system.
So all three are controlled together?

Correct. If they were allowed to operate at different speeds, the gondolas would get out of sync very quickly.

coolest lego thing a i have ever seen

Was sind das für rädee die du als klemme benutzt hast?
lol die Seilbahn ist so mega gut 😀
Danke ;)
wow - this is amazing! you made my childhood dream come true! ;)
how did you connect the rope ends so seamless?

One more question. How many motors are there on the lift?
kannst du deutsch
+Creep503 Ein Bisschen, hoffentlich gut genug
How many chairs are on it?
The detatching method must be difficult to get right. And also keeping tension on the cable

Love it its awesome I want more gondola vids like this make a bigger one plz big fan of you
Best sklift ever
Thanks
please refer to the position of the entire cableway link to the position
If a fixed grip takes like 3 days (finding parts+building) this must have taken
keiner kann so coole seilbahnen bauen wie du
Impressive :) I´ve built similar lift once, so I know it takes a lot of work :D
nice man good job!
thanks ;)
Geez how do u have the time for this
mind blown! amazeballs!
Thanks
That is very awesome
Amazing very realistic light opening door you need a like but show more The system How it work
Thanks
Hello do you have the building LEGO Detachable Gondola / Ski Lift
Ich versuche so verzweifelt das nachzubauen :D War das Eine Piepen eigentlich das CIS?

TheTimmy376 Du kannst deutsch reden wenn du kannst :D
good job. like a ingenieur
Super cool
wow, very nice. respect !!! :))
Thanks
Love it!!!
(especially since the chairlifts I attempted to make don't work)
So cool
I try to do ski lift from normal lego, but i doesnt work 😔
very cool!

But I can imagine on a very steep slope or with heavy gondolas, this method may not work reliably.
One word: WOW.
How long did it take for you to make this?
If I recall correctly, a couple of weeks. Of course, that was with prior experience building fixed-grip lifts.
Ok. Just do it with whichever lift you have recently built is what i am saying
Hast du das selber gebaut? :D
Can you buy this item online or is it created from scratch?
It was created from scratch, and is now demolished. But if you'll wait just a few more weeks, we'll have something else for you to buy, so stay tuned...
@@TheTimmy376 I will!
bauen sie Prototypen für Doppelmayr?? sehr gutes Seilbahn prima ich hab es auch mal versucht es nachzubauen! Weiter so !! ;)
Danke!
SO COOL!!!
thanks
TheTimmy376 how long did it took for you to think how everything works and how long did it took for you to build it? :3
The whole construction and tuning process took a few weeks.
The whole construction and tuning process took a few weeks.
I am mohammad sharifi,Enginer meckanik in iran please give me informeation about yan lift
Sweet.. Can it carry weight?
It can carry about 50 grams, so the total gondola weight is about 150 grams. But if you try to run it with all 8 gondolas loaded to that weight, the gearbox will start making some weird noises :)
can i have the instruction please?
Sorry, there are no instructions, the construction was a process of trial and error.
And Timmy, do you need Bluetooth for this? I think not.
No, the buttons simply control a few relays that turn the motors on and off. The two terminals are connected with a few wires.
where did you get the set?
brandon lim There is no set, this lift was built from scratch
so cool!
I want you to put your camera on your recent lift. What I mean is: put the camera on one of the chairs/gondolas maybe?
We've done that before, but the picture quality really wasn't good enough to upload to TH-cam...
Oh dear
One of the gondolas don't have automatic doors !!
That's because it's the transport gondola :)
This is the one exception that doesn't have automatic doors. Instead, it hits a switch when in enters the terminal which triggers an alert sound (see 2:50)
Ok thx
