Elevator on rotating wheel space station

+0
−0

Is there any reason an elevator, moving from the central hub to the outer ring, would not function on a rotating wheel space station with artificial gravity?

Any parameter of the radius or rotation rate of the station is fine. I don't have any particular G force in the outer ring in mind. Any level of G's that would be logical for "normal" human habitation on such a station would be fine.

This was depicted in 2001: A Space Odyssey. enter image description here Is there anything wrong with this configuration, if the people on the elevator are sitting whether they start at the central hub or outer rim?
