Action metaphors on earth

or erf in ebonics

[Diddle E. Squat]

Say it can be built, how does it work as an elevator? Seems like lifting anything up it would require a tremendous boost to get past the earth's gravity(basically an attached rocket) and what if something goes wrong early on the lift? The load comes crashing back due to gravity at such force as to destroy the base. Could run it as a loop, like an escalator, but now you've doubled the length, and it seems the amount of friction at the bottom wheel to pull through 44,000+ miles of loop would be huge, plus anything pliable enough to bend around the end wheels wouldn't be strong enough to hold for 22,000 miles.
