Jeff Johnson just informed me about these two videos about an inclined lift he built from scratch for his house at Butler on Watauga Lake, in the Cherokee National Forest, Tennessee (USA).
His dad and him have worked on it for about 3-4 months, and it took about 8 weekends for the "site work" and probably 2 weeks for the controls.
Bravo Jeff!
Un funiculaire à faire soi même
Jeff Johnson vient juste de m'informer de ces deux vidéos sur un ascenseur incliné qu'il vient de construire entièrement pour sa maison de Butler sur le lac Watauga, dans le parc National Cherokee, Tennessee (USA).
Son père et lui y ont travaillé pendant environ 3 à 4 mois et cela a pris presque 8 semaines pour le plan incliné lui même et 2 semaines pour l'électronique.
Bravo Jeff!

I am back with an update . I have purchased a golf cart motor (24v) and reversing motor control which will send current back to the batteries on the way back down. i bought the software to program the motor control. i haven’t gotten into the program yet but it will allow adjustments to speed, acceleration time, deceleration time, overload levels etc.
I purchased two 30:1 reduction gears to turn the drive wheels which are mounted horizontally and run on the inside of the track.
More to follow.
