Hello guys I thought I would open a new topic to show off all of the beautiful chairlifts/gondolas/ropeways that you guys have built. I will include everyones flickr youtube and so on in this post. @PG52: https://m.youtube.com/user/pg5200/videos @Elias Iten: https://m.youtube.com/user/eliasiten/videos @dagupa: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCuDz-_Yhx43imV7QJV3Eaag/videos Tailgunner088: https://m.youtube.com/user/Tailgunner088/videos antoine ddp: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7bVmCheE-a9DTFZN3HKRrg/videos @PistenBully 600 : https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCN_lVkaX3dTrMEnnlwQGbpw/videos The Timmy376: https://m.youtube.com/user/TheTimmy376/videos aylac: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC86hWT9xGcqNbSiZXl2T3Fg/videos Im shure there are many more out there so this will never be complete but be shure to show me more so I can include them/you in this post. also feel free to ask anything about how to build lego ropeways!

NEW LEGO ROPEWAY-SMALL BUT WORKING I decided, that i want to build a ropeway that can go up and down in one go, also i want at least one pillar and rope lenght more than one meter. So i created this: -

While skiing I had the idea to reproduce an entire detachable ropeway just with LEGO-Technic-Bricks. After 400 hours of developing, testing and programming the model was built from scratch without any construction plans. This ropeway is an improved version of my first ropeway 2 years ago ;) This model-ropeway works just as its real brother. The eight gondolas are detached in the stations and slowed down to let passengers board easily. But not just the cable-clamp-mechanism is realized like in real ropeways but also the rope tensioner. This mechanism keeps the haul-rope always tensioned by the information of the sensors. Other sensors supervise the distance between the gondolas and adjust it when needed by slowing down a specific motor. Also the haul-rope is monitored by sensors. If the rope falls out of a deflection pulley the whole system performs an emergency-stop. The entire model and even the whole control system with sensors and processors consists of usual LEGO-parts and is driven by 16 motors in total. Along with about 300 gears and 1‘000 chain-links, 10'000 parts were needed. Pictures of the building process can be found on Facebook Next year I plan to build an intermediate station with another 6’000 parts. The whole ropeway-model then will be powered by 30 motors, 4 Mindstorms-Computers, 15meters of technic-chain-links and about 500 gears.
