Rachel ...Take the two motors and point them at each other use a coupling that connects the shafts together put a spool piece between the couplings for the lifting cable to wrap around . Support the spool on each end and bolt the motors to a plate to keep them in-line. Install a heavy relay or switch that will energise one or the other motor but not both at once. One will raise one will lower..Remember with out using a worm-gear reduction system the spool will turn backwards under load. THIS IS ONLY a MODEL and you SHOULD NOT actually USE THIS IDEA...

Well there ya go from the E....

Do not do this. You need approval of a lot of regulatory government groups before you can install or use an elevator, due to the possibility of causing death or injury. And you will not get that approval.

If you build it anyway, you could hurt someone, and wind up in jail.
