Most viewed - Gloria Elevator, Lisbon (2018)Lisboa is a very hilly city. OK, not quite as hilly as Genoa, but some districts are still around 50 meters above the old town. The first tram in Lisbon dates back to 1873. Back then, it was still horse-drawn. Since the slopes to the higher districts were too steep for horse-drawn carriages, the idea of expanding the network with inner-city funiculars came up quickly. The two Ascensores, as they are called in Lisbon, were developed by Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard. They were initially classic funiculars with water ballast. The vehicles were braked by racks attached to the outside of the road. Both cars ran on their own tracks, connected by track loops before and after crossings. The cable ran in a recessed groove under the road, similar to the cable tram system in San Francisco. From 1890, three more classic American-style cable car routes and the Bica funicular were added to the two Gloria Lavra railways. With the electrification of the trams and cable cars between 1910 and 1914, the funiculars also converted to electric traction. The two Ascensores da Lavra and Ascensor da Glória are a special type. Electric traction motors replaced the water ballast drive in the vehicles. Here’s how it works: Like a tram, both cars have a drive that moves the wheels of the carriages through adhesion. Both carriages are connected by the traction cable, which is diverted at the mountain station. Each vehicle has two current collectors. The direct current is fed via one line to the traction motor of the first railcar, then from there via the second overhead line to the second railcar, and back to the ground. This setup connects both motors in series, causing them to run synchronously. The downhill car pulls the uphill car. The drive only needs to compensate for the weight difference between the two cars. A complex drive station isn't necessary. The safety brake acts directly on the traction cable channel.

Lisbon (2017)This short video is designed as a test for the new Panasonic Lumix GH 5 camera. In order to find out what this camera is capable of, it was used with most of settings set to automatic. In particular, it was handheld and I made no attempt at improving the stability in post-production (FCPX). In view of the strong light, a ND filter was used.. The unprocessed sound track was obtained using the internal (rather poor) mikes. Criticism welcome, even nastyBy KochersbergTV - .
