Everybody loves elevators, right? They help us get up and down in buildings without taking the dreaded stairs. Well Mitsubishi Electric is constructing an elevator for the Shanghai Tower in China, which is 119 stories tall! The elevator is said to move 59ft/sec, which is a little over 40MPH! There will be 106 elevators in the building after the consturction is finished, 7 of these elevators will be the highspeed ones moving at more than 40 MPH. The building is supposed to open to the public in 2014. If China can have them so can we, right? Maybe after the building opens up to the public these fast speed elevators will become popular and come to the U.S. This would let us get scale the building at an extreme rate!
