Mousetrap or Rubber Band Car Kit


The 1 Car Combination Mousetrap and Rubber Band Car Kit is a versatile and unique vehicle kit that can be powered either by a mousetrap or a rubber band. This innovative kit offers two fascinating methods for propulsion, allowing builders to explore different principles of physics and mechanics.

In the Mousetrap Car configuration, the vehicle uses a mousetrap as its motor and a string to transmit force. This method involves attaching one end of a string to the arm of the mousetrap and winding the other end around an axle. By winding the string around the axle, the mousetrap's spring is stretched, storing energy. When released, the mousetrap pulls the string off the axle, causing the wheels to turn and the vehicle to move forward.

In the Rubber Band Car configuration, the vehicle uses a rubber band as its motor. The rubber band is attached to a hook on the axle and wound up tightly. As the rubber band unwinds, it releases stored energy, turning the axle and propelling the car forward. This method provides a different challenge and learning experience compared to the mousetrap motor.

All parts of the car are laser cut for precision and ready for use, making it easy to assemble without the need for glue. The wheels are made of plastic and equipped with traction bands for better grip, and the axles are metallic rods for durability. The kit includes printed and online instructions, but adult assistance is recommended for assembling the pieces as it requires a bit of strength to attach them securely. Additionally, the car is customizable, allowing you to replace the original brand logo with your own on the top.

What is a Steam Trap?
A steam trap is a device used in steam systems (mainly heating and ventilation systems) to reduce condensation and gasses while retaining the most steam possible. Many steam traps serve as automatic valves and open, close or modulate automatically. Other are turbulent two-phase flows that obstruct the flow of steam. In many industries, steam is used regularly for heating or as a driving force for mechanical power. Steam traps are used in such applications to ensure that steam is not wasted. Steam traps are particularly useful when determining the heat of vaporization with a steam calorimeter. This model below consists of a borosilicate glass chamber with a curved inner tube to prevent drops of condensed steam from escaping, as well as a drainage tube.

Uses for Steam Traps?
Air Ventilation: A steam trap can help your heater work more efficiently and warm up faster. When a heater turns on, the space is filled with air, which will reduce heat transfer causing an increase in warm-up time. Using a steam trap, you can purge air from the ventilation system as it mixes with steam allowing you to vent the air and keep the condensed steam running through the ventilation system. A float trap with a thermostatic air vent is especially useful because it's programmed to be fully open at start up. 

Condensation Removal: Once air is vented from the system, the trap must pass the condensate from the system, but not allow the steam to escape. Retaining the maximum amount of steam in the system allows the heat exchange to run at its most efficient and economical. If necessary, the trap allows for the condensate to be discharged immediately to maintain proper heat transfer. 
Plant Performance: In order for a heat exchanger to operate to its full performance, the steam space must be filled with clean, dry steam. You can use different types of steam traps to influence this. Thermostatic traps retain the condensate until its cooled below the temperature of saturation. Discharging the condensate at the lowest possible temperature may seem attractive, but the condensation could end up water-logging the system. Water-logging is the main source of inefficiency and corrosion in a steam system. The right steam trap will allow you to avoid this problem while ensuring your system is running at its best.
