See the Futuristic Elevators That Move in Every Direction

A German company has developed a revolutionary rope-free elevator system called Multi, which uses magnetic levitation technology similar to high-speed trains. This system allows multiple cabins to move in various directions, increasing elevator shaft capacity by up to 50% and providing frequent access to elevators in super tall buildings. The Multi system is expected to be tested in 2016 in Rottweil, Germany.
