Bumper Cars - One Most Popular Amusement Park Rides
Bumper cars or dodgem are the common names for a type of amusement ride. It is consists of multiple small electrical-powered cars, which are draw power from the floor or ceiling, and are turned on and off remotely by a control panel. This game is also known as bumping cars, dodging cars, and dashing cars.
Bumper car methods
Bumper cars are commonly powered by three methods. The oldest method is the ceiling-pick-up system, which uses a conductive floor and ceiling with opposing power polarities. One end under the vehicle touches the floor while a pole-mounted touches the ceiling, building a complete circuit.
A new and most common method is the Floor Pick-Up system, which uses alternating strips of metal across the floor separated by insulating plates, and no ceiling grid. When a bumper car moves in the power supply network, a sliding contact group can draw electrical energy or electrical signals from the power supply network to operate the cars. Usually, the working voltage supply is 380V/ 50Hz. Sometimes clients need other voltage (410V), we can custom make.
The advantages of the above two methods are fast speed and power supply is stable, this bumper car is hot sale for amusement parks or indoor entertainment centers. The disadvantage is product cost is expensive.
A third method, bumper cars are run on electric batteries. This type of bumper car can work on any smooth floor. Such as wood floor, tile floor, cement floor, PVC floor, etc. It avoids the conductive floor/ceiling of the traditional bumper car setup, allowing the vehicles to be transferred from one place to another. This bumper car ride is a hot sale for mobile parks and funfairs. Besides, this method is cheaper than the ceiling pick-up and the floor pick-up method, that's can save many costs for the investor. The disadvantage is that these bumper cars take several hours to recharge. Usually, the charging time is 8-10 hours, and the working time can last 5-6 hours.
