How do elevators work?

When you step into an elevator and close the door, you had passed through two doors and are now standing in a box (or the elevator car) inside a vertical passageway (called the lift shaft). One door is in the walls of the floor that you got off, and the other door is part of the car itself.Inside the shaft are hoisting cables attached to the top of the car. The cables run over a sheave (pulley) connected to an electric motor at the top of the shaft. The other end of the cables is connected to a heavy steel weight called a counterweight. When the car goes up, the counterweight goes down; when the car goes down, the counterweight goes up.How the counterweight reduces to a minimum the power needed to operate the elevator ...Weight of counterweight = Weight of the car + (about) ½ of its maximum passenger loadSo when the elevator operates, it needs power only to lift the weight of the extra passengers in the car; the rest of the weight is balanced by the counterweight.

Is the Close Door function on an elevator useless?

It turns out that the vast majority of functioning close-door buttons on elevators became obsolete as a result of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, which required that elevator doors remain open for a minimum of three seconds, or long enough for anyone with a wheelchair, cane, etc. to safely get on board. The only exception to the rule is if a firefighter manually overrides the door function with a key.Karen W. Penafiel, the executive director of the National Elevator Industry, Inc., confirmed in an interview with The New York Times that by pushing the button, "the riding public would not be able to make those doors close any faster." However, this hasn’t prevented manufacturers from continuing to install them in order to give the public a false sense of control.Another example of this type of "mechanical placebo," as it's called, includes pedestrian crosswalk buttons that were deactivated with the rise of computer-controlled traffic signals.

Why did alexander make the automatic d=elavator door?

I would assume he invented the automatic door for elevators to eliminate the safety issues caused by accidentally forgetting to manually close the doors. If an elevator worker forgot to fully close the doors prior to automatic doors, the elevator shaft would be exposed and people woud fall down the shaft thinking they were stepping into the elevator.
