Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (low view, normal speed)

Dr. Luke Donev set off 500 mousetraps armed with over 1,000 ping pong balls at the Sciencenter in Ithaca. Museum visitors watched in awe as a single ball triggered the cascade, and then discovered the physics behind it.

This short clips shows what a mouse might see if it had been watching our demonstration. Keep an eye out for the kitty cat face towards the end.
