It almost seems like magic, but it's actually just based on the laws of physics!
PlasmaCar is a ride-on toy manufactured by PlaSmart. It has no engine, no fuel, no pedals and no batteries. So how does it move? It makes use of kid power instead. All you need to do is turn the steering wheel and off you go!
The PlasmaCar actually uses the natural forces of inertia, force and friction. It’s quiet, inexpensive, and child- and environment-friendly. The PlasmaCar can really move, but it won’t speed off, so mom and dad need not to worry about their child’s safety. It runs on just the right amount of speed to allow toddlers to feel like they’re in a real race.
This ride-on toy is made from high-quality ABS plastic and is easy to assemble. Its design includes six wheels, but only four actually touch the ground. The first two wheels located at the front of the vehicle do not touch the ground or spin. They are merely there for stability and safety in case the rider leans forward or drives onto an elevated surface.
The remaining wheels of the PlasmaCar are attached to the steering wheel by a lever and are located at the back of the ride-on toy. The torque applied to the steering wheel causes a friction force by the wheels on the ground, a force parallel to the axle and perpendicular to the direction the wheels are rolling. This explains how the ride-on toy can move even without an engine.
PlasmaCars’ sleek racecar-like look is appealing to kids. It is also very durable. It’s no wonder that in 2009 alone, PlasmaCar was voted #1 Top Spring and Summer Kids Essentials by disneyfamily.com and was awarded the 2009 National Parenting Center, Seal of Approval.
