no. an alternator sized escalator.
 
I think the answer is no. The perfectly smooth escalator is essentially just a really really tall perfectly smooth staircase. The problem is that the spring is going to lose some energy and stop eventually.

Well, I guess it would happen when the store closes and they turn the power off to the escalator.

We know the European Slinky will only work a max of 35 hours per week, and the other ones won't work at all...they wants to collect welfare.
