Four myths when you take the elevator. We have found the answer for you.

     160 years ago, Elisha·Graves·Otis invented a safe elevator, Rasied the skyline of the city. Now, billions of people go up and down on this vertical transport everyday, they’re in this square meter metal box, have carried on the thorough thinking. Here are some of the most classic elevator myths.

Elisha·Graves·Otis

1，Why are you staring at the floor instructions when you get into the elevator?

  Are floor instructions so interesting?Actually, it's an act of avoiding disadvantages. We all know that staring at floor instructions is as boring as staring at a watch, or a subway stop sign; We just avoid other embarrassments in this way and look forward to getting out of this uncomfortable situation for the first time.

《The Good Wife》,The Rivals in love met in the elevator, which was particularly awkward.

     The elevator is a special narrow space. Everyone stands as straight as possible, allowing strangers to squeeze their personal space, which instinctively feels threatened.

   In this case, direct eye contact with others is awkward , both in terms of evolution and social manners. Trying to talk to someone you know is worse than talking loudly in the library ,as for looking down at your phone,do you really give people a glance at what's on your phone screen?

Elevator floor instructions in the early years may be more interesting

    So people usually take the ostrich strategy, put on the earplugs, pretend to ignore the people who are pressed by the side, pretend to be relaxed, pretend that the floor instruction is the most interesting thing in the world, then wait for the elevator to open and rush out quickly.,

 

2，Why am I always overweight?

     It's really not a matter of discrimination. It's just that it's easier to remember that you can catch the elevator but you can't take it, but it's also for safety.

But it's also for safety.

     To be safe, the first thing to do is to ensure that you are not overweight ,So the rated number of elevators will be divided by the elevator load divided by the average weight.

     This is why sometimes you may encounter the problem of "there are not many people, but you are still overweight after entering". There may be several heavyweights hidden in the elevator!

   When it comes to average weight, the average weight per person in the Federated States of Micronesia is 87.398kg, and the average weight in Bangladesh is 49.591kg, so in these two countries, an elevator with a load of 1000 kg can only carry 11 people in the Federated States of Micronesia and Bangladesh can reach 20!

 

3，Why hasn't the elevator arrived yet?

     The more anxious the elevator is, the less likely it is to come？Of course, this is relativity. This is psychological.

     People have different waiting limits at different times: the limit for waiting for a web page to load is a few seconds, and the limit for waiting for an elevator is about 30 seconds.

     If we want to have a large number of elevators, high speed, good quality and low cost, , it is impossible for each elevator to work independently.

     Control of elevator linkage has long become an interesting and complex problem, and the algorithm to solve this problem has become a classic interview question for programmers.

    The elevators were probably controlled by that time.

    Some modern elevators are equipped with intelligent ladder technology in order to solve the waiting limit of users and strike a balance among several contradictory goals  as far as possible. To respond quickly, to arrive quickly, to open fewer elevator doors, to carry more passengers. The number of people waiting for the elevator on each floor is uncertain. During peak hours, the situation becomes more complicated.

    When the page loads too slowly, we will refresh the button, if the elevator is too slow. Then we’ll just have to watch the elevator advertisement to distract our attention.

   A lot of efforts have been made to reduce waiting. The intelligent dispatch ladder technology can adopt different operation modes at the peak and trough of transportation, manage the passengers in groups, and reduce the acceleration and deceleration time and the number of opening doors as much as possible. This can not only reduce the energy consumption of elevator body, but also greatly reduce the waiting time of elevator.,

 

4，Will it be smoked to death by passengers' fart?

    Elevator carries hundreds of people up and down every day, it is inevitable to encounter a few diarrhea; elevator is a closed space, in addition to pinching nose frowning, there is no other way?

     Search for "elevator fart parody" and you can find a lot of prank videos. People in the elevator have different expressions, from embarrassed smiles and frowns to covering their noses and waving fans.

     In an inch of the elevator, there's nowhere to run.

     The old elevator is like a cage, the wind comes from all sides, and there is little need to consider the problem of ventilation. For the sake of safety, the elevator has become a fully closed design, only by opening the door and closing the door to breathe.

     So today's elevators are usually equipped with ventilation systems at the top, which can completely cycle the air in the elevator in a few minutes. Some elevators also have a light-touch system to remove bacteria and taste, which can make the air fresher.

    Because of the existence of these systems, there is no need to worry about asphyxiation in the elevator, and there is no need to worry that the smell will not go away for a long time. However, ventilation system is not the first priority of elevators, occasionally just in time. This embarrassment is inevitable when people eat grain. Practice cardiopulmonary function more, which can be used in this time.

If the elevator is changed to this, you can't smell it, but dare you take it?
