smidey Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 brilliant as long as it's working properly. imagine a system malfunction, your car could be lost for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 What a great idea but I think the price would be pretty high. The power required to move a car up and down on lifts would be quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 What a great idea but I think the price would be pretty high. The power required to move a car up and down on lifts would be quite a bit. Assuming a 25% efficient system the electricity required to lift a car that weighs 1500 kg 30 meters would be about 480 watt hours. Or about 10-15 cents. I'd be surprised if it's that low given that electric motors usually are 90% efficient. I think average parking rates of $5-10/hour would easily cover that.

Adrienne Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Here in Auckland they have gone to outdoor tiered parking for some of the apartments near the school where I work. Two cars per park (not sure what happens if the driver parked on the top tier wants to get out while the car below is still there though).

acara Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Great idea,but like all technology,if it goes wrong,it will cause a big problem,eg if a car catches fire,how is it accessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
