It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed based on the specifications that had been identified after the preliminary testing. The

winding the spring on your mousetrap car‚ you store energy in the spring as potential energy. This stored potential energy will convert energy into kinetic energy as the mouse-trap car begins to move. But there is friction and in order to overcome friction you have to do more work. Friction converts energy into heat and sound which takes away energy from your motion‚ causing the car to stop as its energy is turned into other forms. When designing a mousetrap car‚ there are two variables that truly
