    Intro: Mouse Trap carOne of my sons friends stayed over yesterday and mentioned in passing he'd been assigned to make a mouse trap car for school. I thought about how I had lots of funmaking those way back and decided to make one out of scraps off my desk and document it. It's far from the best one ever and unlikely to win any awards, but it doeswork.

  • http://www.instructables.com/id/Mouse-Trap-car/

    Step 1: SuppliesI used the following:

    A mouse trap4 eye hooks6 balloons2 bic pens (the smooth kind)2 tops from pop cans (for the serious perhaps washers, or otherwise any other bendable metal)some string (not pictured)4 CDs/DVDs (expendable ones). Here 3 CDRs and a blank transparent thing from the top of a spindle. I hear DVDs are a bit lighter, but I'm not optimizing that hard.

    Step 2: Strip the pensPull the front and back out of the pens, making them hollow plastic cylinders.

    Step 3: Cut and apply two balloonsCut the top and bottom off on two of the balloons. Stretch them over two of the CDs, which will later be the back wheels. This will help traction a great deal as CDs areotherwise pretty slippery.

    Step 4: Check eye hooksAssure yourself that the eye hooks fit over the pens. They need to be loose enough to rotate easily, but not so loose that they rattle too much. If not, bend them slightly sothat they do. Mine were a bit small and needed to be bent out a bit.

    Step 5: Make a holeMake a hole roughly in the center of one of the pens. I did this simply by screwing one of the eye hooks in and ten removing it. It needs to be large enough to take thestring.

    Step 6: Thread the penPush the string into the pen and get it out one of the sides. I pushed it in and blew on one end, then jammed then ink part I'd removed earlier in, cussed at it a bit andthen did it some more. Eventually, when the string is through the pen, tie something to the other end. This one is with a small piece of a toothpick. A simple knot wouldprobably do in most cases, but my thread was a bit thin. Pull it back through and make sure the knot/object stops against the other side of the hole.

    Step 7: Put eye holes in trapScrew the four eyelets into the mouse trap along the short sides. Try to get them to be roughly the same depth so that the axle that will later go through them is somewhatstraight. Also, take care to not crack the trap too much. More ambitious builders may want to pre-drill holes, but I went for broke and indeed it cracked a bit, but not somuch that it didn't work.

    Step 8: BraceInsert the front axle (i.e. then pen without the hole/string) pushing it through both pop tabs (or whatever you've managed to get). Pinch them to the pen so that they won'tmove too much and keep the pen from moving sideways. Bend them away from the eyelets enough so that they can spin freely against it and give them some leewayfrom it (not snugly pressed against it). Make sure it can rotate ok.

    Step 9: Front wheelsWrap a balloon around the pen you just put in, trying to fold it so that it's somewhat wedge-like toward the edge of the pen. Gently rotate one of the CDs without balloonson them onto it in the same direction you wrapped the balloon, wedging it on the pen. Attempt to get it to point fairly straight and not wobbly in relation to the trap. Repeatfor the other end of the pen.

    Step 10: Rear axlePush the pen with the string into the back eyelets. Pull the string through the eyelets so that it's between them (or slide through the gap if you had to widen them). Tie thestring to the tip of the flap that will move as the trap springs. Those more ambitious might want to brace it with something between the spring and the back to make sure itdoesn't snag or fray, but I didn't bother, which does mean the string gets tangled or frays every so often.

    Step 11: Back wheelsAttach the back wheels in the same way the front were done.

    Step 12: Wind upGently turn the back wheels backwards (if your unsure of the direction, put it on a surface and pull it backwards). When it starts to catch, lift the flap slightly and keepturning until the trap is starting to load. Keep going until it's pulled all the way back, then hitch it as one normally would setting a mouse trap (see instructions on package Iguess).

    Take a bit of care, because if the string snaps the trap will indeed close (quickly) and anything you have in the way will get hit. It's not exactly deadly, but not pleasanteither - these things do pack enough power to make you go "Ouch".

    Step 13: GO!!

    Tap the trigger and watch it go. Readjust the wheels (which are a bit flimsy with the low-rent balloon support) to get them straighter and retry. It's not very crash resistant,not very pretty, but very easy to make and can, if you're me, be built entirely out of things you can reach from your work chair (yes, that included having an old pack ofmouse traps on my shelf).

    teh darkcloud says: Aug 18, 2008. 11:25 AM REPLYNice. I made one of these in my Engineering class a few months back. My team did pretty... bad. We got stuck with two know-it-all sophomores, a girl whowas afraid of tools, another girl who just wanted to get her math homework done that she didn't do the night before, and me... the shy, quiet girl who hadideas but couldn't voice them. D: (Haha, I'm not trying to make my team look bad, by the way. We all became friends because of that project. xD)

    teh darkcloud says: Aug 18, 2008. 11:57 AM REPLYOh, also... This is what we ended up with. (The first image is my design. We tried to follow it but somehow ended up with... the second image. >.

    boblordofmonkeys says: Oct 6, 2009. 7:49 PM REPLYhow would i go about adding a brake so that it would stop after 10M

    ebubbula says: Jan 29, 2011. 8:52 AM REPLYif you stop it after 10 meters you can measure were the arm is then put a stick or something on and a hole under it so it can touch the ground it mightwork if you still need it

    izzy7 says: Jan 29, 2011. 7:53 AM REPLYi need to do one that goes 10 meters tooo

    Zansion says: Oct 8, 2009. 10:15 AM REPLYHmmm, i dont know how you could install one IN the car, but you could suspend a wire about an inch above the ground. the put hooks under the car, thatwould grab onto the wire when it reaches it.

    This is how the Airforce stops there fighters if there is a probolem and they need to make an emergancy stop.

    After thinking, you could put a spool on top of the car. measure out the right amount of thread, and attach one end to the rear axle. and one end to thespool. wind up the spool, let the car go. when the thread runs out, i should stop the car.

    purple23haze says: Oct 24, 2010. 7:29 PM REPLYOk my mother-in-law is brilliant!! I was trying hard to thread the string and get it to go the way I wanted without cussing...it was hard. She asked if I needed apiece of her floral wire to tie the string to and then I could work it through the hole the way I wanted. It worked PERFEFT....I even just clipped off theremaining wire and used that to anchor the string in the pen. Mother-in-laws can be good for several things!!! This saved me a ton of heartache and soapmouthwash.
