{wiki=Mousetrap_car}
A mousetrap car is a simple vehicle powered by the energy stored in a wound-up mousetrap. The design typically consists of a mousetrap mechanism, wheels, an axle, and a body or chassis. When the mousetrap's spring is triggered, it releases energy that propels the car forward. Mousetrap cars are popular in educational settings, often used in science and engineering projects to teach principles of physics, such as energy conversion, mechanics, and motion.
