you want to place your mousetrap as far away from the back wheels as possible
the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
because the wheel make the mousetrap go forward but without the wheels the mousetrap stays in one place
in the center of the mousetrap car.
The fastest mousetrap car speed recorded is around 55-60 miles per hour. These cars are powered by a mousetrap spring that propels them forward, and they are often built for competitions to see how fast they can go.
a mousetrap car is a simple machine that can be used in races. it can also help people to gain problem solving skills A mousetrap car, is a group of simple machines used together to use in races. It can be made from recycled items, and can be very cheap depending on the items you use to make your car. I used; Moustrap, CD's, ruberbands, wood plank, nails.
Well, honey, a mousetrap car has traveled over 500 meters in a single run, which is quite a feat for a little contraption powered by a mousetrap. Those tiny wheels can really haul ass when they want to! Just goes to show you, never underestimate the power of a good old-fashioned mousetrap.
You can attach the mousetrap to the chassis of the mousetrap car, ensuring it is securely fastened in place. Make sure the mousetrap's spring mechanism is aligned with the drive axle to maximize the car's propulsion.
in order for the mousetrap car to go straight, both of the wheels (and its axles) have to be parallel to each other. moreover, the axles must be perpendicular to the body of the mousetrap car. if front wheel is pointing towards left or right, the car will go left or right, respectively.
A pulley system for a mousetrap car typically consists of one or more pulleys attached to the chassis of the car. The pulleys are connected by a string or rubber band, with one end attached to the mousetrap's lever arm and the other end attached to the axle of the wheels. When the mousetrap is triggered, the pulley system transfers the mechanical energy from the mousetrap to the wheels, propelling the car forward. The number and size of the pulleys used can affect the mechanical advantage and speed of the car.
If the car is lighter, Then the balloon powered car will go further.
Use Cd's as wheels to make less friction
