Materials
•Carbon fiber
•4 CDs (wheels)
•Hot glue gun
•String
•Fishing line
•2 Mousetraps 4 CDs
•Electrical tape
•9 zip ties
•Styrofoam
•Saw to cut carbon fiber
-
Construction of the Batmobile
• Step 1: Cut and hot glue the pieces to create the frame of the mouse trap car.
Then get two mouse traps and glue to the
desired location. Our car is 60 cm long
and 10 cm wide. (60 cm)
(10 cm)

Construction of the Batmobile
• Step 2: Measure and cut the axles of the mousetrap car. You need 2 axles for the
project, one for the rear end and another
for the front. Insert axles into place.

Construction of the Batmobile
• Step 3: Insert the 60 cm rod in between the 2 mousetraps.
Then, get 8 zip ties and tighten
so rod doesn’t fall out. Glue
the zip ties permanently into
place.
(8 zip ties)
(60 cm)

Construction of the Batmobile
• Step 4: We cut 8 pieces of Styrofoam into small 2x2 cm pieces. Then, we
got 4 CDs and attached 2 on each
CD (opposite sides of CD). After, we
hot glued the 4 CDs to the car’s axles.

Construction of the Batmobile
• Step 5: We attached the string to the car. We also inserted a
zip tie in the middle of the
front axle which will allow the
car to reverse.

Significant Features
• 1. We used electrical tape instead of balloons on the wheels
• 2. We used fishing line instead of basic string
• 3. Light weight (we used carbon fiber)
• 4. The Batmobile goes 0.70 m/s

Basic Measurements
• Kinetic Energy: • Work: • Force:
F=mg
F=(0.262)(9.81)
F=2.57022 N
W=Fd
W=(2.57022)(23)
W=59.11506 J
KE=0.5mv^2
KE=(0.5)(0.262)(0.7)^2
KE=0.06419 J
• Mass of Vehicle: 0.262 Kg
• Velocity:
V=d/t
V=23/33
V=0.70 m/s
• Momentum:
p=mv
p=(0.262)(0.70)
p=0.1834 kg m/s

Recommendations for future Improvements
• 1. While making the frame, after gluing each piece make sure to wrap it around with string so the pieces stay intact
• 2. Make sure the wheels are properly aligned and not tilted.
• 3. Don’t rush it as you will have to restart because it will fall apart in the future!
-
Conclusion Page
• Reduce the mass of the car as much as possible so the velocity can be high
• The bigger the circumference of the wheels, the further the car will go
• When creating frame, make sure to wrap the attached pieces with string for extra support.
• Balloons/electrical tape on the wheels help create friction to stabilize the car
