Resumen

The invention consists of the design of a system of pendulum elevators that move on a corridor of concave rails applying the principles of physics relating to oscillatory movement due to the pendulum effect. Its design is aimed at facilitating people with motor disabilities to move both horizontally and in height, since the carriages act as wheelchairs. The operation begins by manually detaching a piston, after which it slides from a certain height, by inertia, starting with speed "0" and ending at maximum speed when it reaches the lowest point and makes contact with the second car, transferring it to this I release enough energy for it to move on the rail and reach the maximum height and end at speed “0”. The technical advantages are: zero electrical energy to activate movement, the only thing needed is gravity, inertia, potential energy and kinetic energy, it allows vertical and longitudinal distances to be overcome at the same time because the car manages to advance both magnitudes simultaneously, longitudinally and vertically and finally it is supported only by a rigid cable attached to the ceiling, which does not require electricity either.
