WORKING PRINCIPLE

Bumper cars are based on the principles of physics. Isaac Newton’s law on motion is what makes bumper cars so

much fun. It is the action and reaction principle that causes the car you hit to bounce in the other direction. The third law of motion states that if one body hits a second body, the second body initiates an equal force in the opposite direction. Thus, when one bumper car hits another, they can both bounce away from each other.

Battery-powered bumper cars work similarly to ride-on cars. They have a battery usually between 12 volts to 48 volts that need to be charged.The charging can take a while and the battery may only last one to two hours depending on the size and amperage. The reason people will use these types of bumper cars is because of space.

Most commonly used on cruise ships as the space is very limited and you can only use it for a few hours before needing to be recharged. At this point, the space can be repurposed for other fun events while they charge

Ground grid bumper cars have the same principle as the sky grid bumper cars but with this, the complete circuit is all done on the ground.How this works is there are metal strips that conduct negatively and positively with insulating spacers between them. As long as the bumper car is long enough to cover 2 of these at a time they will provide electricity to the motor and the bumper car riders can fly around the track.
