This kilometer tall office tower is a revision of a design I proposed as a replacement to the World Trade Center. My new design functionally allows for two-hundred floors. My multilane elevator system includes lanes up, three lanes down and is married to elevator carousels at the lobby and sky levels. My invention of these carousels was needed to avoid bottlenecks at community levels. The primary lane within each shaft acts as a conveyor belt to or from the top level. Elevator cars rolled into slots on this beltway are pulled up at a constant velocity. The middle lane is a variable speed, but also a single directional system that can pace the beltway to load cars into available slots. The third lane consists of stationary ports for the loading of passenger at office levels. A variation of the tried and tested roller-coaster wheel design is used to hang each elevator car within a slot, while including a tilting mechanism to dampen lateral motion. Instead of using lightweight truss to tie the vertical supports together (which lead to the collapse of the World Trade Center), my hexagonal design ties the supports with heavy I-beams, while still allowing for lightweight truss to be used to fill in the floor supports. I have named this Jot Russell Tower to help promote my pen name. My real name is Stephen Kennedy. These designs can be shared, but can not be used in a building design without my consent.
