Abstract

A scalable multi-car cyclic magnetic elevator system with linear gravity electric generator traversing an mono-directional cyclic elevator shaft of a building comprising a magnetic elevator car, a magnetic levitation guideway provided along the height of each corner of said elevator shaft, a passive magnetic array rotary propulsion wheel assembly provided on at least on the three sides of said elevator shaft, said magnetic propulsion assembly being defined by a plurality of magnetic array rotary propulsion wheels provided with meshed gear teeth at the periphery thereof, a magnetic array propulsion track secured along the entire height of said elevator shaft and in attractive North-South-North-South communication with respective magnetic array propulsion wheel assembly, a motor rotatably driving said meshed magnetic array propulsion wheels, and a linear gravity electric motor/generator disposed adjacent said magnetic levitation guideway and communicating with said magnetic suspension stabilizer and an elevator cab service bay intermittently provided along the length of the mono-directional cyclic elevator shaft for service or repair purposes and at the extreme opposite ends of the magnetic elevator shaft is a cyclic transition bay where the multi-car magnetic elevator module will change shaft from one mono-directional shaft to another in a cyclic pattern.
