Breaking is broken, from lifts to electric trains, cars to pushbikes, applying breaks is simply swapping useful energy for bad useless energy, ie entropy. So it goes!
Falkirk Boat lift in Scotland is the only rotating boat lift in the world. This spectacular boat lift has been designed with acute engineering skills to meet a specific purpose. Find out more about the boatlift inside the article.
The long-pressing trick works!
Some elevators allow you to deselect a floor by double-tapping (or long-pressing) the button.
“Not only can today’s technologies cut elevators’ energy use, but they also can return energy to the building grid.”

Not new, a but cool idea.
Loving these magnetic elevators- that can go sideways too like a tube.
I found the video of the boat lift, and it is impressive!
