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...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
