	Mousetrap Race Cars
		The mousetrap spring and the portion of the trap board to which the spring is attached may not be altered in any way.
		The mousetrap must be contained in the vehicle and must propel the vehicle by means of a wheel or wheels in contact with the ground.
		The vehicle must be started from a standstill by releasing the mousetrap spring in a manner that imparts no additional energy to the vehicle; i.e., the vehicle may not be given a push start.

	A Mousetrap Defended:Response to Critics: Behe, Michael
		The usefulness of the mousetrap example was that it captured the essence of the problem I saw for gradualistic evolution at a level that could be understood by people who were unfamiliar with the fine points of protein structure and function--that is, nearly everyone.
		Although it may seem silly to argue over a mousetrap, it is actually critical to allowing people who are not professional scientists to understand the issues involved.
		Mousetrap rebuttals have popped up in a variety of situations including national television, but most recently (June 2000) was at a conference I attended at Concordia University in Wisconsin where Kenneth Miller, professor of biology at Brown University, spent several minutes during his presentation attacking the mousetrap.

	A reducibly complex mousetrap
		Because the mousetrap is necessarily composed of several parts, it is irreducibly complex." (Behe, 1996).
		The mousetrap illustrates one of the fundamental flaws in the intelligent design argument: the fact that one person can't imagine something doesn't mean it is impossible, it may just mean that the person has a limited imagination.
		In addition to demonstrating that a mousetrap is not irreducibly complex, I also illustrate the most important objection to "irreducible complexity" as evidence for "intelligent design": a part which may be optional at one stage of complexity may later become necessary due to modifications of some of the other parts.

		Scientists describe the mousetrap as a device that is "irreducibly complex." The mousetrap cannot be made more simply and still function, and, at the same time, it is so simple and does its job so well that it gives the illusion of being a profound achievement.
		The traditional snap mousetrap is a primitive device made of a combination of simple machines.
		Electric mousetraps that dispatch victims with a shock, and various shapes and sizes of plastic and metal traps that conceal the mouse remains have been created but have not achieved commercial success.

	Mousetrap Car and Vehicle Propulsion Therory
		In this method one end of a string is attached or tied to the arm on the mousetrap and the other end of the string is wound around an axle.
		As the mousetrap car is released the mouse trap pulls the string off of the axle causing the wheels to turn and off the vehicle goes.
		Do not push on the mousetrap's lever arm during this process, you want the string to be tight and to pull the lever arm over.

		A mousetrap powered car, racer, or boat is a vehicle that uses a mouse trap for an energy source.
		As the mousetrap car is released the mousetrap pulls the string off of the axle causing the wheels to turn and off the vehicle goes.
		If the mousetrap is located too far from the drive axle there will not be enough pulling force to propel the racer to the finish.

	No. 1163: A Better Mousetrap
		That leaves me to wonder whether mousetraps really promise a fast track to inventive success, or if they're simply born of some morbid fascination with killing mice.
		Actually, the mousetrap problem was solved in 1899 by one John Mast of Lititz, Pennsylvania.
		So while the mousetrap has become an icon for inventive creativity, the public eventually stipulates what's acceptable and what is not -- in the grisly business of holding a competing species at bay.

		Her name on a theatre marquee has always interested audiences, but there seems to be a bit of a dismissive attitude evidenced when one mentions Christie to most theatre professionals.
		As the late Queen Mary's 80th birthday was approaching in 1947, the BBC was creating a radio tribute for her.
		Alley audiences have enthusiastically embraced the Christie plays we have mounted in the past, and one of the chief pleasures of the summer season is to watch audience members-young and old-lean forward in their seats as they match wits with a writer who takes her amusing entertainments seriously.

		By winding the string around the axle the mousetrap's spring is stretched providing stored energy.
		As the mousetrap is released it pulls the string off of the axle causing the wheels to turn and making the car move.

	Hamlet Haven: The Mousetrap
		Historically, mouse is also connected with “the devil’s entrapment of human lust with the mousetrap” (80); hence, Hamlet’s diction suggests that he perceives Gertrude “at once as the snare that catches the devil Claudius (and the son Hamlet?) in lust, and snared herself in the same devil’s mousetrap” (82).
		The mousetrap trope becomes “part of a pattern of images in Hamlet that poises the clarity of poetic justice against a universe of dark of unknowing,” as “the trapper must himself die to purify a diseased kingdom” (91).
		Staging The Mousetrap “with Claudius outwardly calm and unmoved throughout both the dumb-show and the spoken play, reacting only after his unmasking,” seems “preferable” and “most faithful to the text” (369).

		The spring of a mousetrap can store a considerable amount of potential energy when it is pulled back and its tension is increased.
		They should also be mindful of the "snap" of the mousetrap bar and use caution when opening, setting, and releasing the tension bar.
		As the mousetrap spring shuts close, the movement of the controlled release is transferred to the spin of the axle.

		F(Force)=M(mass)A(acceleration) therefore the mousetrap* provides a standard unit of force (F=1) and if my design is heavier, the acceleration will decrease which equals lower speed.
		My design objective will be to try to maximize the period of time that the spring force of the mousetrap acts upon the wheels.
		I measured the mousetrap to make sure it was going to be in the centerline of the car.
