@ekoros1029 u use a plain old mousetrap, then using the element of kinetic energy u transfer the energy of the mousetrap snapping through like a piece a wood connected to the axle of the back wheels
Um.. where does the mousetrap come into play? It looked like the stored energy was in the trimmed carbon fiber fishing rod and the elastic band, wound tightly around the axel. Also TO THE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WHEEL DESIGN, counterbalancing of the rear wheels helps by using the wheel's potential energy as say the first gear in a car, it helps it achieve its initial momentum and the energy stored elsewhere maintains momentum until depleted. Now where does the mouse trap come into play. PLZ
ScienceGuyOrg now has two videos and two articles on mousetrap cars. I enjoy viewing all the approaches that people take in building the cars. Bill Kuhl
Good work. Maybe just reduce the weight in the back wheels a small amount but overall, excellent work. Sad how the jealous losers have to make negative posts though.
Haha, these guys are taking the video way too seriously xD "Mine was better, pfff" lmao. But, as a man who loves his tools, seeing that tape measure all coiled up like that... Got all choked up D:
@morebetterful videotape it and post it! Just make sure the camera man can actually, u know use a camera decent enough, oh and some close ups while still to show how it was designed. Thanks
@yourajerk25785 hahaha WOW, that defeats the purpose of even building one, YOU are supposed use that thing between your ears to come up with a creative design that works AND they are making it FUN..... if you have to copy someone to make a Mousetrap car then I feel bad for you, come up with this on your own, a fun homework assignment! You dont get much of them and if you dont change your TOTAL view on learning or creativity, then at least practice this, WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH THAT??
@neufele I'm a Human too lol thats crazy running into another human on here, wow the internet is such a small place (a big smile and happy sigh).........wow
Yes, that Fishing pole would be an outside force thus defeating the purpose of the mousetrap....i was going to also use rubber bands but thats also storing potential energy...
The cheese counterweights on the wheels do not make the car go farther - in fact they decrease the distance the car can go. The only way they could give the car a boost is if they start at the top when the car first starts - but all they really do is add potential energy to the car. It is another "little cheat."
The mouse trap provided some of the energy but they also did sneak a rubberband and some potential energy was also provided by the fishing pole so I guess in a way, you're right...since the bar didn't actually snap down completely...
Please see my video response "Simple Mousetrap Car goes 138 feet" for a true mousetrap powered car. (Then find my little "cheat" without looking at my comment on it!)
1. either make the car longer so that the tip of the fishing rod is at the back axle WITHOUT being wrapped up or cut the rod shorter.
2. the wheels on this car r designed to give the car an extra boost every turn due to the gravitational field force pulling down on the added weight. if they had turned one wheel to be 90 degrees from the opposite wheel, it would have increased speed and extra displacement. if u want a more descriptive answer, msg me.
this is cool but its kinda cheaing if its enterd in a compeition becouse allot of energy was stored in the stick that pulls the axel and most cometionswont even let you extend the stick anyways
first of all.....nice vid. i have to do this for my tech class and i was wondering.....what was the metal rod . Another questions is.....if u have bigger wheels does that make u go faster...please reply soon i need it for my project. BYE !!
which one of you dickheads is the guy at the start, fuck you guy at the start....nah just joking of course. i am doing this project and your ideas really moved me in a better direction. very good work!!!
You're right, and you know. I have this really big mouse trap car out in my driveway (I bought it from honda). It goes pretty far, Although it has an internal combustion engine in it. And I removed the mouse trap because I didn't need it anymore.
Maybe I should enter that into the competition.Then I would surely win... It's not cheating, it is an improvement on the concept.
dude yours is awesome i had that same idea to use a fishing pole as the lever but mine went 63 ft and won but im in middle school so it wasnt that bad
I've got to agree that most of the momentum of their car came from the bent over fishing pole piece. I'm also doing this same thing for engineering class and the rules clearly state that "all propulsion must be from the mousetrap only". I guess they're a little softer on the rules where you guys come from. Fishing rod would be disqualified here in Utah.
