well, to make it go down( this might not be right since i haven't tested it myself) just make a seperate elevator building (exactly like the one in the vid) just reverse the direction of the pulse.
You do know that basically all zipper elevators are the same? Really, the only difference between just about all of them is the method for extending and delaying the signal.
You can't say that it's the fastest, because it isn't, and you can't say that it's the most compact, because it isn't.
You may want to do just a little bit of research before you start throwing around these claims.
At least you came up with this yourself...

If, by some freak chance the usual nonsense I generate seems to help you, there's a nice shiny green + button to tell me that I'm doing the right thing

I've look at pretty much the top 20 videos one youtube, and not many of them come very close to this one. I didn't say it was the fastest OR the most compact, but what I was attempting to convey is that it's the fastest AND the most compact I've seen together. As I said, I've seen more compact, but those are more slow, and I've seen elevator that are just as fast, but not as compact.
The design by the royal walrus looks really good! I'm looking into that as soon as possible. And one more thing, if anyone here thinks they can make my elevator any better, have at it! Send me back an improved design! I love to be proven wrong. Good job to whoever showed me the royal walrus video. But I don't like it so much when people just tell me that I'm wrong without showing me what's better.
Thank's for all the input you guys have been giving! I want to see what you can come up with! :smile.gif:
lol when you spend like 5 hours making an elevator that just won't work, and it suddenly does, and you realize it might be the best one out there, you might think to yourself, "Man, this thing is just... just... perfect." :wink.gif:

Instead of copying it the better method would be to add an addition onto the back of the wiring that break the connection (ie a piston moving a block that cuts the circuit) so it will depower. Also make sure you slow it down when going down or you'll be dead by the time you hit the bottom of a tall elevator.
The same method of pistons disconnecting the circuit could be used for a version to stop at multiple floors as well.
Well I was finally able to make my elevator go down, and do it without giving you any damage, but now it's huge. I'm going to try and compact it before revealing the final design. I also added some sliding doors on the way in just for the cool effect. :tongue.gif:
Dear redstoners, I see this elevator speed and compactness thread is a long discussion.
Though, may I say, I believe I have built something better, at least in compactness and same speed.
Goes down too.
Here are some screenshots:
Green wool stands for going upwards wiring, and the blue is for going down.
However, you will take some damage while descenting(not enough to kill you).
Also, there is a safety pool in the end, in case things go wrong.
Sorry I couldn`t make a video, but nope, my Vista laptop would never handle it.
Also, don`t bother with the other tall buildings and stuff, unless you want to talk to me about them, then PM me.
Sorry for making the world invalid, but no it doesn`t really work on smp, not worth the try! Too fast. The main difference was compactness. That`s it. I only use the green wool to go up, and the blue to go down (though I later made the down part much smaller)

You know what, ima go make an elevator gallery!

lol I don't think there are ANY elevator designs that can fit into your house very nicely...

Thanks for seeing.
Yes sorry about that, i`m a big lazy boy and I saw this as a perfect opportunity because I based my elevator on this one.
