My hiatus for May 2018

I will not be on YouTube from May 1st to May 31st

On May 1st to May 31st, I will not be on YouTube for this reason: studying for my chemistry & history finals. If I am able to study for my history & chemistry finals, then I may be able to end my Junior year strong & continue filming lifts in New Jersey throughout the summer without the possibility of having to go to summer school.

Just know that I am temporarily leaving YouTube for a reason: to keep myself academically fit to finish high school on time, which is June 2019.

Do not worry, because I will be off of YouTube only for one month & then I will be back on YouTube on June 1st, 2018.

I am not leaving YouTube because I want to: I'm leaving YouTube to do what is necessary to ensure a successful end to high school. Understand that I am doing what I think I need to do to make sure I will be able to move onto the next step in my life, while still casually enjoying my hobby of filming lifts in New Jersey. Understand that I would never intentionally choose to leave the lift filming community. Please bear in mind, my GPA right now is at a 3.8 without studying. I want to ensure passing grades on all my final exams & projects. Expect me to go weeks at a time not being active on YouTube. I will be preparing all of the May 2018 blog posts during the month of april 2018, therefore I can study.

On June 1st 2018, I will make a slight return to YouTube, but that will be just to change my name to StreamCepticon40000 & update all of the data including my website & EleFilm blog. After that, expect me to be off of YouTube for the entire week from June 3 to June 8. 

On June 8, I will make a full return to YouTube & begin summer strong with uploading single February 2018 Borgata lift videos to my YouTube channel on June 10. Additionally, I will be writing the blog posts for June 10 on the night of June 8. As of June 15, I will be back on YouTube as normal.

Thank you for taking the time to read this important blog post.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

A QUICK ANALYSIS OF EACH OF THE LIFTS AT BRIDGEWATER MALL IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP

I do not have much time to elaborate on every single detail of the lifts at the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater Township, so I will try to narrow down my analyses as quick as possible. I have no time to include pictures as visuals either, so you’ll just have to refer to the attached YouTube video below. The Mall itself Bridgewater Commons Mall is a mall from the early 1980’s that has gone through quite a few renovations and expansions over the years. Inside the mall, the original anchors are Macy’s and Bloomingdales, which both have Westinghouse lifts, still fully original to the 1980’s construction project. The carpark was added in during the 1990’s and features the first lift I filmed which was the Dover glass hydraulic. Inside the mall, there is a food court on the third floor with three sets of escalators throughout the main part of the mall, with three more sets inside the multi-level stores (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor). The majority of the escalators are Schin...

Paramus Lift Galore: June 2022

Written on behalf of the Rising Salamander Academy Lift Galore Date: June 17 Lift Galore Time: 5:00 PM EST It's been a long time since I've last filmed lifts in person, a whole whopping half a year to be exact. I'm excited to be back, but not for long, since I have to finish up my time at Kean University & focus on graduating on time. But for the mean time, let's enjoy our summer recess, film the best lifts we can film & make the most of it! Westinghouse Lift Where: Macy's, Garden State Plaza Time Filmed: 10:10 AM (June 10) Grade: B+ Speed to Height Ratio: 8.1:1 (Fast) Landings Served: 3 The first lift of this lift galore is a 1950's Westinghouse lift which was later modernised by a generic company between the 1980's & early 2000's with EPCO Flushline fixtures on the outside, EPCO Circleline fixtures on the inside. This lift has a speed to height ratio of 8.1:1 which makes it fast for the application & number of landings. This lift is loc...
