@the.digital.boy: Day 304 of watching tech evolve. There are roughly ~ 91 curved escalators on the entire planet. They are extremely rare because only one company, Japan’s Mitsubishi Electric, has been able to manufacture them commercially since the 1980s. These are the famous curved escalators in places like: • Caesars Palace Las Vegas • Venetian Macau • Shanghai New World Daimaru • San Francisco Centre • Lotte World Korea • Some luxury malls in Japan and the Middle East They are rare because the engineering is insanely complex. The inner side and outer side of the escalator move at different speeds to maintain the curve smoothly. Even the handrails require special mechanics.
one time in 2016 i told my teacher there is curved escalators and she laughed at me and told me there is not

Pretty sure because nobody cares, it's logistically not convenient to spend for R&D to figure it out since it's more simple the usual way

SandyZ :
why use the word "roughly" and give such a precise number like "91?" just say roughly 90

u trying to convince me something ? in the engineering world , when there is a will , there is a way .. it's just an escalator . nobody else is doing It cause there is just no demand , design the building properly and there would be no demand for such escalator. 😂

Mr. C :
Nobody else has solved it…….in a way that makes enough economic sense to justify the R&D for a market that only sells about 2 per year 😂😂😂

Still, it’s a niche product when you compare it to the number of conventional escalators. I don’t think you can make much money from it; otherwise, other manufacturers would be doing it too.
