德国研发出可以横着走的电梯

The technology backing ThyssenKrupp’s MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic levitation systems used in high-speed trains. Each car has two magnetic linear motors–one for vertical movement and another for horizontal. This system can also deliver power to the car’s internal lighting and electronics through wireless induction, so no physical tether is needed.

蒂森克虏伯的MULTI电梯采用的技术，与高速列车运用的磁悬浮系统原理非常相似。每一台电梯都配有两个磁力线马达，分别用于垂直和水平运动。通过无线感应，该系统还为电梯内部的照明以及电子产品提供电力，无需再使用物理牵引缆线。

A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power outage. ThyssenKrupp didn’t go into detail about safety measures in its announcement, but it’s safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out.

传统缆绳牵引的电梯带有一些机械零件，在断电时可使电梯停在原地。虽然蒂森克虏伯公司在产品的发布声明中并未就安全措施作出详细介绍，不过可以肯定的是，一旦停电也会有某种系统保证磁悬浮电梯能原地不动。

ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a real elevator technology. This should be up and running by 2016, but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car.
