Manufacturer Comments
  • What is a mousetrap powered car and how does it work? A mousetrap-powered racer is a vehicle that is powered by the energy of a wound up mousetrap's string.
  • The most basic design is a follows One end of a string is tied to the tip of a lever arm that is attached to the mousetrap's "snapper arm".
  • The other end of the string has a loop that is designed to catch a hook attached to a drive axle.
  • Once the loop is placed over the axle hook, the string is wound around the drive axle by turning the wheels in the oposite direction to the vehicle's intended motion.
  • As the string is wound around the axle, the snapper's lever arm is pulled closer to the drive axle causing the mousetrap's spring to wind up & store energy.
  • When the drive wheels are released, the string is pulled off the drive axle by the mousetrap causing the wheels to rotate.
