How To Build A Mouse Trap Car

Instructions to Build a Mouse-Trap Car

The energy for a mouse-trap powered cars is stored in the mouse trap spring and it drives a wheel by some arrangement such as a string connected from the trap's jaws. There was a competition among the mechanical engineers at my University to build a mouse trap car that could travel the furthest. There were plenty of different designs. The winners had a design that released energy from the spring slowly and had only two wheels! The mouse trap hung from the axle. There are endless variations of designs for mouse-trap cars. The design I describe here is not a record breaker, but it can be made easily at home.

You’ve managed to explain a really tricky subject well. I find that I sometimes have difficulty in getting my head round topics like this, but you’ve summed it up really well. I’ve found another writer that does the same thing although don’t have the details right now.
