Probably many have seen this idea for quite a long time. German company ThyssenKrupp is proposing a self-propelled lift that can travel both horizontally and vertically through large buildings and skyscrapers. The system operates without cables and uses magnetic levitation technology similar to that used on some train networks. The proposed system is made up of multiple cabins travelling in a loop at about 5 meter per second (about 11 mph, 17 km/h), allowing passengers access to an elevator cabin every 15 to 30 seconds
