Re: Elevator counterweight / constant spring and ability to lift different number of
The fusee pulley is one solution. It automagically changes its "gear ratio" as the distance traveled increases, so you can use a gearmotor and optimize its lifting speed for the small stack but still have plenty of torque for the tall stack.
