Lift to balance water - Cliff Water Railway Lift

As we know, the elevators of Valparaiso began operating with a water balance system. This means that the upper carriage was full of water in a reservoir under the car itself and on the wheels, and the simple counter starting to bring the car down and bottom up. Once down the carriage and release water that was pumped up to be used again. Simply fascinating!!

always wanted to know or see was that the system worked. If already now seems rudimentary but functional, could not help but imagine him in one of our elevators.

recently, leading a group of Brits, a very old couple approached me and asked if any of the elevators in the city worked to balance water system. I explained that no, though many of them originally did. Then, I was surprised had not played since that point in my information and asked how they knew about this system. They told me they came from the town of Folkestone in England , where one of these lifts, just like our own, but still works to balance water.

These adorable passengers at the end of the tour passed me a slip of paper with information for the Internet and look it up ... Of course I did.

For the first time I enjoy seeing how the system operates and see what state is this elevator. It is very beautiful and reminds me to Lifts Baron

Enjoy the video

The "Water Folkestone Leas Cliff Lift" was inaugurated in 1888 (the Cerro Concepción was inaugurated in 1883). Has undergone some changes, last year was closed and reopened this year restored (not renewed). When it was closed, Folkestone citizens organized a protest, since it is considered an important part of tourism infrastructure. It is the oldest of the elevators and water balance that have been modified electrical England.

But how??

This means that there are others??

If there are. With surprise I found a list of such lifts in English and not only England but also in Quebec , Germany, Portugal and other places.

However, the prime "British" elevators of Valparaiso, are quite similar to those of our port.

The "Lynton-Lynmouth Cliff Railway

The " Lynton-Lynmouth Cliff Railway British local Lynton balance system operates with water since 1890.

What I find interesting is all the support on the internet that accompanies it. A beautiful website with lots of information and recognition of this lift as a transport and tourism. It has a restaurant on its upper and public restrooms. In his site you can access a virtual tour videos and galleries in three dimensions. I was also attracted much attention throughout the explanation of how the elevator. Everything here is considered a particular tour. There has been the vision to see the information as a lure and a hook.

England All these elevators are considered important tourist attractions. This gives us a clue of how we manage and administer our own elevators of Valparaiso. Each has a website with extensive information on its particularities. Each worked as a tourist attraction in itself, developing its activities around stations and cafes and restaurants. The idea is that the lift works as a company and then use their creativity to add to their already captive passenger flow. This helps maintain the natural lift in his original activity is transportation of the residents of the sector.

is curious that there is a link between these "Cliff Lifts" and our lifts locals. I think this has been produced by the simple fact that the Internet, each with its name appears in English or English, not producing a cross of keywords in searches on the Web. Perhaps this crossing can be beneficial, you could cause a future meeting between administrations. Maybe they can make alliances for feedback information such as mechanical solutions, answers, development of marketing operations, meetings of workers, elevator brotherhood.

this article also debunks the myth that the elevators of Valparaiso are unique in the world and this is good news, since it no longer so lonely. There are others in many places and not only in England and this is favorable, as there where crossing information.

The management of our old lifts deserves a new look. Whoever takes over this, must find a way to keep them and empower them, and know that there are other success stories in the world is a great find. Also there are other failure and if we were to be successful as ours, it could come to the aid of other elder brothers of our "Cliff Lift" .

There is always a chance, there is always where to look and where to go. It's about having the will and desire to get passionate.

Valparaiso Joya Abandoned - Reportage Canal 13

When I started writing about Valparaiso, my first intention was to reveal the identity of the city through the stories of my constant travels for her. A look, a point of view, the skin feeling written to account for the interlining of the mazes subtext locals.

However, the subtext I began to show another topic. Something that is spoken almost in a whisper and a growing question.

Leo Silva, what about the heritage??

What about projects??

It is difficult to ignore the issue. But runs the risk of lines and lines dedicated to this issue. I do not want to end up writing a mantra, a rosary of articles on this point. However, the theme Heritage of Valparaiso and its care is so disturbing, it should become "the most important issue of the city` s agenda, but a table at lunch, at family level. Everyone should take a position on this.

To spend no more keys on the computer for now, and illustrate widely about it, I leave here the story of Channel Thirteen, displayed a few weekends ago.

Sit down, sit back, put play and if at the end of the story you unworthy, I know that is within their rights.

Several lines of reporting are shocking:

"... inspection visit in May of 2010, represent the Inter-American Development Bank found that 53% of the designs in current portfolio at that date will not lead to concrete results. In good Chilean, many studies and few works ... "

With regard to the elevators:" ... the mayor of Valparaiso ahead of us that the situation could worsen further in the coming days. Soon Artillery would be closed the elevator and the elevator Conception ... "(sic)

With regard to World Heritage:" ... Unesco, which will come next year to assess compliance with the Commitments of asset recovery program in Valparaiso, however may not be sufficient ... "(sic)," ... it is quite likely that UNESCO requires certain measures or else, simply put Valparaiso list of properties in danger of disappearing ... "(sic)

Personally, first thing I'm getting embarrassed when I do my tour in the city. My passengers are excited to see the elevators of Valparaiso and to experience a trip on them. Now, I must explain that most of them are closed. One after another they appear without any activity. My passengers take

clear accounts.

.- That is, in the city of lifts, there is not working??

.- But how can this be? There is a tourist and heritage??

.- What should I say about me? It is difficult to assume the irresponsibility and lack of management.

Even some of the tourists are beginning to ask the mails of the authorities to complain.

As always, the gringo Todd Temkin, tireless fighter for Valparaiso, is right when he says in the article that would repair the lifts global impact and improve the country's image.

But why close some of them having good flow of passengers and would therefore not economic, argument always put forward to justify their door locks??

seems that we are facing a battle of pressure. The buzz through the streets of the city would be Mechanical Lift Company of Valparaiso wants to sell almost all lifts that manages the City of Valparaiso. For this sale, has a very high price.

The municipality wants to buy, but can not purchase the prescribed value. (Actually, you can not buy anything, no money)

As a means of pressure, the Society of Mechanical Lifts lift it closes the municipality (and Valparaiso) gradually.

This version as well said, is the rumor began that begins to circulate in the city.

But pressures and tripping, not only commercial but political in the city, is a party. The problem is that whoever is in the middle of this is, precisely, Valparaíso, its heritage and its people.

Please read the following article Gonzalo Rojas appeared in the Mercury of Santiago, entitled: Valparaiso, victim of two evils. (Click here ...>>)

By reading this article is painfully clear that Valparaiso sailing the waters of political games. As usual, no one thinks of the city and less in the country.

The Universal Forum of Cultures, is an activity that would like to have it and other cities. When held in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe city spent millions to promote it. Valparaiso has been abandoned to the poor management that made the bodies in charge. The information the public has been very poor, apart from the presentations performed in Plaza Sotomayor, nobody has any idea that there are exhibitions and lectures. The main objective of the Forum of Cultures is to raise awareness about the importance of public spaces for cultural use of it, social cohesion and quality of life for city dwellers. However, paradoxically, there has been a promotion open to the public.

was a unique opportunity not only to Valparaiso, Chile but also because as a country seeking to join the global community, the development of their culture and heritage strengthens their identity and integration into the global village with a own distinctive stamp.

Apparently there is great ignorance on the part of our authorities on these topics: Identity, Culture, Heritage, efficient management, globalization. Chile insists on wanting to appear as a global nation celebrating Halloween, but what really matters to belong to this totality, look to their own culture through the protection of heritage and promotion of their identity, there is a clear political vision to regard. It is the only way that means the failure to follow suit. Ignorance!

Given all this and existing development plans ongoing promotional , calls to these issues in everyday conversation ourselves, the locals.

We must go beyond our enthusiasm to sing with emotion, "The Jewel of the Pacific." Should we require that heritage projects are carried out to address the money well, that looks to Valparaiso as it really is: a city that boasts the title having beautiful cities recognized as the most beautiful in the world: Florence , Cairo, Venice, Cuzco, Quito, Prague. That Valparaiso hoists are an event like going to know Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel , Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro , Machu Picchu . We need to convince other locals to demand that efforts be made efficient, to punish by voting when we have to choose officials and above all ...

... to tell you right Valparaiso Chile that should not be a solo project of Valparaiso, but must be a national project of all Chileans.
