http://www.gizmag.com One of the major problems with installing an elevator in a home is the amount of space required, not to mention the costly infrastructure and maintenance issues and the immense problems and cost associated with any retrofitting. Now a new type of elevator developed in Argentina looks set to revolutionise the residential lift market, making elevators affordable to everyone. The self-supporting vacuum elevator is constructed of aluminium and polycarbonate and takes just a few hours to install. Unlike previous elevators, the new lift is completely self-supporting, extremely light, has a footprint of just one square metr e and requires no excavating pit or hoistway, it can be fitted to almost any two or three storey building at a fraction of the cost of a normal elevator.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-97351 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-97351 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:19:55 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-97339 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-97339 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:33:02 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-95500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-95500 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:52:29 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-94606 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-94606 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:06:01 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-92845 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-92845 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:28:55 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-92035 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-92035 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:01:28 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-82705 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-82705 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:09:49 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-81115 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-81115 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 22:10:49 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-80029 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-80029 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 08:48:29 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-67624 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-67624 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 19:02:33 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-59374 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-59374 Sun, 08 May 2011 23:43:18 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-53443 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-53443 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:38:50 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-47569 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-47569 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 13:28:39 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-43450 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-43450 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 21:47:16 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-39823 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-39823 Sat, 27 Nov 2010 12:21:54 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-14302 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-14302 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:48:03 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-4681 http://www.gizmag.com/go/4007/#comment-4681 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:51:35 -0500
