A mousetrap car is a small vehicle whose only source of motive power is a mousetrap. Variations include the use of multiple traps, or very big rat traps, for added power. Mousetrap cars are often used in physics or other physical science classes to help students build problem-solving skills, develop spatial awareness, learn to budget time, and ...
The trap that is credited as the first patented lethal mousetrap was a set of spring-loaded, cast-iron jaws dubbed "Royal No. 1". [1] [2] It was patented on 4 November 1879 by James M. Keep of New York, US patent 221,320. [3]
James Henry Atkinson (c. 1849–1942) was a British ironmonger from Leeds, Yorkshire who is best known for his 1899 patent of the Little Nipper mousetrap. [1] He is cited by some as the inventor of the classic spring-loaded mousetrap, [2] [3] but this basic style of mousetrap was patented a few years earlier in the United States by William Chauncey Hooker in 1894.
Torsion-bar suspensions are used in many modern cars and trucks, as well as military vehicles. The sway bar used in many vehicle suspension systems also uses the torsion spring principle. The torsion pendulum used in torsion pendulum clocks is a wheel-shaped weight suspended from its center by a wire torsion spring.

A wild mouse is a type of roller coaster consisting of single or spinning cars traversing a tight-winding track with an emphasis on sharp, unbanked turns. The upper portion of the track usually features multiple 180-degree turns, known as flat turns, that produce high lateral G-forces even at modest speeds.

Mouse Trap (originally Mouse Trap Game) is a board game first published by Ideal in 1963 for two to four players. It is one of the first mass-produced three-dimensional board games. [1] [2] Players at first cooperate to build a working mouse trap in the style of a Rube Goldberg machine.
