n 1857, back when it was rare to come across a building that was more than 7 stories high, the Otis Elevator Company rocked the world by installing the first-ever commercial passenger elevator at 488 Broadway in New York City. It moved at an unimaginable speed for its time –40 feet per minute! Doesn’t sound like much, but remember – this was way before cars came around! A lot has changed since then. Life’s getting faster, buildings are getting taller, and you can no longer impress anyone with an elevator that travels 6 times slower than the average person walks! So, companies designing and constructing skyscrapers must think over their vertical transportation systems. Other videos you might like:

– AquaDom 6:28
– The Falkirk Wheel 7:14
“Elevador Lacerda” 7:51
– SkyView, Ericsson Globe 8:28 #elevator #coolthings #brightside SUMMARY:
– The CTF Finance Centre in Guangzhou, China is the 7th tallest building in the world, standing proudly at 1,740 feet at its highest point. – The building is home to the world's fastest elevator! It was opened and recorded in the Guinness World Records in September 2019. It sky-rockets from the ground to the 95th floor in just 43 seconds! – Think you could handle riding in an elevator moving almost highway speeds at 47 miles per hour?
– Most standard elevators go up to a maximum of about 20 mph. – There are special rollers in four corners of the cabin to absorb unpleasant vibrations. The brakes are made of heat-resistant materials that’ll ensure it stops smoothly even in an emergency. – Most skyscrapers have an advanced elevator system. It’s not just one straight shot from bottom to top but a complex network with stops and transfers, sort of like the subway!
– The Gateway Arch. The futuristic elevator pods move up and down the “legs” of this 630-foot stainless steel construction that was designed by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. – The Bailong Elevator. The name of this elevator that reaches a height of 1,070 feet on the side of a cliff translates as the Hundred Dragons Elevator. It was opened in 2002, and you can spot fantastic views through its glass doors.
– AquaDom. Would you like to travel between floors in the middle of an 82-foot-tall cylindrical aquarium full of over 260,000 gallons of water and 1,500 fish?
– The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat elevator in the world, lifting vessels 79 feet from one canal into another. – “Elevador Lacerda”. This one isn't just an elevator but a legit means of transportation connecting the “Lower” city to the “Upper” one. It transports over 30,000 people a day, traveling to a height of 236 feet in 38 seconds.
– SkyView, Ericsson Globe. At 279 feet tall and 361 feet in diameter, Ericsson Globe is the largest spherical building in the world. You can see a concert or sports game inside (probably hockey!), and take a ride in the glass elevators on the outside.

What If You Played Video Games for 1 Day Non-Stop
Hey guys! Are any of you gamers? I'm not, but there was a time when I could sit all night long, playing some new and awesome game. And it’s then I wondered completely out of the blue: what would happen if I played for 24 hours straight? You think I didn’t check it? Fat chance! So, I planned my game day for Saturday so that I’d have no work to do, could sleep until well rested for the event, and would have another day to recover after it. I bought a dozen Red Bulls (big ones, not those tiny little cans) and made sure I had enough coffee at home to keep me going. Then I fixed my armchair so that it was a bit less comfy than I’m used to — I believed it would help me not fall asleep too… Other videos you might like:

I Decided to Sleep for 4 Hours a Day, See What Happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbFzL-0pEeU& TIMESTAMPS:
What I did before my experiment 0:22
The first three hours 1:48
When gaming started to take its toll on me 3:21
What I felt after fifteen hours 4:13
… and four cans of energy drink 5:32
I can't quit the game! 6:33
How my marathon ended 7:19 #gaming #videogames #brightside SUMMARY:
– I turned off my phone so that nobody could call and distract me from playing, and put some easy-to-grab food on my desk next to the monitor.
– I opted for a single-player game. I launched it and off I went into the world of might and magic.
– The first three hours flew by like one minute. I didn’t feel hungry or thirsty, or tired, for that matter, just nothing. – After seven hours I remembered that I had legs. Nature called, and I tried to stand up, but almost failed. – Anyway, after no more than 5 minutes I returned to my game. Three more hours passed, I had another couple of buns and my first energy drink of the evening.
– Two more hours in, and I popped open another Red Bull. Not that I had to energize myself, but I just needed a distraction.
– I don’t really know what was happening to me after all those hours of playing, but once again, care I did not. All that mattered was that I was going to collect that legendary set of armor whatever it took.
– Three more hours and two more cans of energy drink passed. I did finish the chapter just like I wanted and, having lots of time ahead of me, went on to the next one. – My vision was just a tiny bit blurry because my eyes were tired from all that staring into the screen, and my thoughts were increasingly chaotic, but otherwise I felt absolutely fine.
– When the last minute of my 24-hour marathon ended, I saw that, ironically, I couldn’t just save and quit in the area I was at the time. – I quit the game after another four hours. I didn’t realize how exhausted I was until I closed the game. I stood up and rubbed my eyes, and then I started stretching as if my life depended on it.

– When do you keep moving on red but stop when it's green?
– A glider pilot lost control of his aircraft and crash-landed right on the border between the US and Canada, with one wing in each country. Which country will get the engine? – There are 2 bills lying on the table. Their total sum is $51. What are these bills if the first one isn't a 1-dollar-bill? – People buy me to eat but after that, they never actually eat me! Will 10 seconds be enough for you to figure out what I am? – You can drop me from any height, you can even throw me from a skyscraper, and I'll be fine. But once you drop me in the water, I won't survive. What am I?
– Take away the whole, and some still remain. What is it?
– You're locked in a dungeon with some food and a bucket of enough water to survive for 3 days. There are three doors leading out of the dungeon, and one of them may bring you to freedom. Which door should you choose to save your life? – I have an equation where something has gone wrong. Look: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 555! You should add just one line to make this sum true! – You go to the shop and buy an egg and a chicken. The total cost of these products is 108 coins. But the chicken is 100 coins more expensive than the egg. So, how much does the egg cost? – A boy was 15 years old in 1990. But in 1995, the same boy was 10. How is it possible? – Emma is near a store. She can't read the sign on this store, but she knows for sure that she needs to go inside and buy something. What shop is she standing next to?
– Once a man found a coin with a 10 BCE mark on it. Realizing that the thing was very old, he took it to an expert. But the expert didn't bother to examine the coin and told the man outright that the thing was fake. How did he understand this fact?
– A traveler was walking in an unfamiliar area when he reached an intersection. But the signpost had fallen, and the man didn't know how to choose the right road. Can you figure out how to do it? – If three hens lay three eggs in three days, how many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days? – My Dad is a chemist, and my Mom is a mathematician. It might be the reason why they call me Iron59. Ugh… But can you guess my real name? Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

A Journey from Zero to the Hottest Temperature
So, I’ve already been just about everywhere – a black hole, the depths of the Earth’s core, the Mariana Trench! But today’s journey is especially dangerous…and unusual. I wanna test my capsule by going all the way from the coldest temperature on our planet to the absolute hottest! Usually, all atoms vibrate, move around, interact, and do their daily work of making up you, me, and everything else in the universe. They create energy and heat from all that bouncing around. Absolute zero is the temperature at which atoms stop moving…completely! So, naturally, things get really cold – 0°Kelvin. That’s -459.67°F! Other videos you might like:

The most heat-tolerant animals on Earth 7:06
The brake pads on a Formula 1 racecar reach a temperature of… 9:04
The heat of a volcanic eruption 9:47
The hottest of the hot 10:18 #hottestthings #coldestthings #brightside SUMMARY:
– A moss piglet or water bear, this microscopic animal might look cute, but they’re pretty much indestructible! They can survive under layers of solid ice, in stone walls, and even in outer space! – Now that we’ve passed -458°, helium can maintain its gaseous state (a.k.a. it melts into a liquid at that temperature).
– -361°F – gonna need to be extremely careful now because I'm moving through the temperature when oxygen melts into a liquid!
– Now my equipment is showing -128°F. Ah, I see, it's the world record for the coldest air temperature recorded at ground level!
– The coldest habitable place on our planet is the village of Oymyakon in Russia! On January 26, 1926, the temperature dropped to a staggering -96°F!
– Going further, and I see the temperature is 55.4°F. It's a shocking number because it refers to the lowest human body temperature ever recorded.
– My next stop is even hotter than that, at 115°F. That's the highest human body temperature ever recorded. – Moving out of the “human body range” I've arrived at the 159.3°F mark, which is the highest surface temperature ever recorded on Earth.
– Just a couple of seconds later, and my capsule is traveling through a temperature of 257°F. That's when any Intel CPU processor automatically shuts down.
– The brake pads on a Formula 1 racecar can reach a truly terrifying temperature of 1,380°F!
– The next temperature stop is 1,900°F, and it measures the heat of a volcanic eruption. Well, the lava spewing out of it, to be precise. – The hottest temperature on Earth was actually human-made! It was created in 2012 by scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Inside the collider, lead ions were smashed into each other going 99% of the speed of light.
– The resulting plasma that formed had an absolutely mind-blowing temperature of 9.9 trillion °F! That's 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Some People Chase Storms And Why It’s Popular
The thrill of a hunt, a challenge from nature itself, the opportunity to prove yourself, and a lot of adrenaline – storm chasing has it all, and so much more. I’m driving as fast as the wind; the city limit sign fading far behind me. Lightning is blinding me every couple of seconds and the windshield of my car is flooding from rain. This isn’t my first rodeo, mind you, but I’ve gotten used to the fact that getting nervous is just a part of my job. Debris, tree branches, and dirt covering the road are all signs of impending danger; and signs that my hunt will go well. Other videos you might like:

– Most of the time, the storm is thousands of miles away, and you need to plan every detail of an upcoming trip ahead of time. – I wasn’t a cool kid or a daredevil when I was young; I was a nerd; and probably the most out-of-this-world kind of nerd. – Storms were just a dream for me; I knew I had to study first. But getting into the storm chasing club was inevitable at some point.
– The first step I took was becoming a storm spotter. These are volunteers, from all walks of life, hired and educated to help local weather stations to identify storms. – Checking weather reports every hour, searching for places where cold air might meet warm air – looking for the kinds of situations from which storms and tornados are naturally born. – Never go on a storm chasing trip alone – that’s the rule. One of you will search for the best place to intercept a tornado, and the other one should focus solely on driving.
– If you want to play tag with a tornado, you need a monster rig. This vehicle should be your moving castle, and be ready to take a good beating too.
– Unfortunately, storm chasing isn’t limited to professionals, and that’s a troubling thing. That means there’s a lot of untrained storm chasers that will not only put themselves at risk, but others as well.
– Some individuals will do anything to get to the storm first. This is one reason why you never go storm chasing if you aren’t qualified for it.
– I remember the time I caught one of the best storms I’ve ever seen. The 1000-mile drive was worth it. – I had to make a split-second decision about when to turn towards the storm. Turn too early and I’d get in the way of the tornado, which could lead to the worst turn of events. – My decision was decent, but soon to be proved half baked, since I got into an unforeseen traffic jam.
– I thought all was lost when suddenly I noticed something extraordinary just 50 yards to my side. The wind started to spin near the ground. – My first reaction was pure excitement, but it abruptly turned into panic when I figured out where all the other chasers were hiding. – They were right in the path of the tornado, and completely oblivious.
– All we could do was block the ways to the overpass with the two cars and tell the other chasers to get down on the ground.
– I wasn’t able to catch a single photo, but I helped other people survive that day. Some of them quit storm chasing altogether. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

How I Got Into the Storm Chasing Club
The thrill of a hunt, a challenge from nature itself, the opportunity to prove yourself, and a lot of adrenaline – storm chasing has it all, and so much more. Sound exciting? Wait till the end, and you might just decide you don’t want any part of it. I’m driving as fast as the wind; the city limit sign fading far behind me. Lightning is blinding me every couple of seconds and the windshield of my car is flooding from rain. This isn’t my first rodeo, mind you, but I’ve gotten used to the fact that getting nervous is just a part of my job. Debris, tree branches, and dirt covering the road are all signs of impending danger; and signs that my hunt will go well. Other videos you might like:
