This is not a bike related question. I am trying to design a three story elevator, and economically. I figure I could start with building a 3' by 5' platform. Enclose it in tracks with wheels on the platform. Then use either an electric engine pulling hoist or a winch from a truck, (converted to a/c) to pull it up with. Possibly a pulley system to increase speed, while losing pulling power. Total dead weight would be two people and the platform, say, 600 pounds. (And this without a possible counter balance weight addition)
Comments as to it's feasibility appreciated.
