Bumper cars let people freely drive and collide in a fun, enclosed park ride. Do you know how bumper cars are powered? Dinis produces sky-net bumper cars and ground grid bumper cars. The power of these two bumper cars is different. The following will explain it.
How is Sky-net Bumper Car Powered?
The Sky-net bumper car stands out as a popular amusement park facility due to its unique power source. Sky-net bumper cars use a Sky-net system, not ground power. This design boosts efficiency, safety, and fun in bumper cars.
The power supply system of the sky-net bumper car consists of two main components. Firstly, installers set up the power grid, known as the sky-net, above the vehicle operating area. Secondly, the system includes an electric shock device located on the roof. Sky nets, covering the entire bumper car operating area, have an electric shock device equipped at the top of each bumper car that contacts the sky net. When the bumper car is running, the electric shock device on the roof contacts the sky-net to form a closed circuit, which provides continuous power to the bumper car’s motor.
In the sky-net bumper car system, the transmission of electrical energy is extremely critical. The main power supply of the amusement park connects to the sky-net to obtain electrical energy. Consequently, the sky-net then evenly distributes this energy and delivers it to each bumper car. A device atop the bumper car efficiently harnesses sky-net energy to power its motor.
How do Ground Grid Bumper Car get power?
The ground bumper car is a popular traditional amusement ride in amusement parks, which relies on a unique ground power supply system to provide power. This power supply method, cleverly designed for efficient operation, provides tourists with a safe and exciting driving experience.
A distinctive ground power supply system energizes the ground-grid bumper car. The ground power grid, vehicle power collection device, and the vehicle control system primarily make up this system. Parallel power supply rails and guide rails form a ground grid for bumper cars. Additionally, special devices under the bumper car contact the ground grid to get power.
After starting the bumper car, the power collection device at the bottom of the vehicle makes contact with the power supply rail of the ground grid. Consequently, the power collection device transmits the electric energy to the vehicle’s motor, forming a closed circuit.
At this time, the electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the car forward or turn. Through the operating lever on the control panel, the driver can control the speed and direction of the bumper car to interact with other bumper cars.
Now you have a clear idea about how are bumper cars powered. Both systems have their characteristics and are suitable for different sites and needs. When choosing which system to choose, investors need to consider site conditions, safety requirements, cost budget, and aesthetics to meet specific needs and goals. In addition, we also have battery bumper car. If you want to know more, please contact Dinis.
