You are seeing a picture of an ordinary pirate boat. If you ever have gone to the park, you will have watched the ship swings built on this design. These are called pirate ship ride or Viking ship ride.


A pirate ship ride is a type of enjoyment ride based on the pirate or Viking ships. It consists of an open large or small gondola. The gondola has seats for the passengers and moves back and forth around the horizontal or x-axis. During this movement, the riders undergo various levels of angular momentum.


It starts swinging from its slow state to a fast state that makes the riders feel like to be in a stormy ocean.


Construction:

The pirate ship ride consists of:

  • Four legs are firmly attached to the ground.

  • A car or gondola is having seats for riders.

  • Two strong and weight-bearing arms are attached on both corners of the car or gondola at one end of each component.

  • An axle joins the four legs at one point.

  • Both arms are fixed around the axle at their other ends.


It is an exciting and classical amusement ride and is favorable for all kinds of amusements, either outdoor or indoor. 


How does the Pirate Ship work?

Pirate ship amusement has two systems:

  1. Mechanical System 

  2. Electrical System


Mechanical System:

A three-phased AC source uses reducers to run caster for the to-and-fro motion of the pirate ship ride. When the big caster body and boat-body come in direct contact, the spinning caster wheel rubs the bottom of the boat-body. This makes the ship swing higher in a short time-lapse. The boat arrives at its top height and then moves back due to the action of gravitational force.


When the ship-body comes in direct contact with the caster wheel for the second time, the caster's movement is reversed, which makes the ship-body move in the opposite direction. The ship arrives at the highest point and moves towards the ground due to gravity acting on the ship.

 

Electrical System:

This system consists of:

  • An electric control system.

  • Spinning electrical machine.

  • A conducting ring.

  • An LED circuit for decorations.

  • Turn ON the control power switch to handle the electrical system.

  • Press the BELL button, the circuit will begin to ring for 5 seconds as preparation.

  • Push the ROTATION button to make the pirate ship ride undergo to-and-fro motion about the horizontal axis or x-axis.


A 24V LED light circuit gets electricity to produce different light patterns of flashing effect.
