Here’s a way you can turn a mousetrap into a powerful handgun that shoots up to 40 feet! It launches projectiles with both power, and precision. Cheap, easy and affordable! Cost about $1.00

Project History & More Info:

I used the Tomcat brand of mousetraps because of the little yellow bait pad that came with them. I’ve since found the Victor brand carries a similar pad that would probably work as well.

All you really need to convert these into a mini handheld catapult are some simple tools, 2 screws, and a small piece of wood to use as a handle.

Projectiles like Airsoft BBs shoot forward over 40 feet, with speed, and relative accuracy.

I printed off a simple target, and glued it to a cardboard frame to use for practice. Amazingly, the gun fires very consistently with regard to speed and direction.

The first vehicle from Ford built only as a Hybrid. Stay tuned for the plug in version to follow. We think it drives surprisingly well for a hybrid and is reasonably fun to drive. Other than it’s odd looks, you simply cannot go wrong with the kind of versatility and fuel efficiency this vehicle offers.

“The iconic Toyota Prius has a new competitor in the form of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. Better driving dynamics and slightly better fuel economy should be C-Max advantages.” (Edmunds.com)

Time for an update video at 2TR, all you consumers out there curious to see how the current generation Honda Civic holds up. Not surprisingly, the cheapness in the interior shows here but let us know how yours has held up if you are an owner of the 9th generation model!

Help us grow so we can bring you more videos! Like us on Facebook @ http://www.Facebook.com/2Redline Honda’s current generation Civic has been such a disappointment, does the Si still have what it takes? We think there are some good bones here, but it seems like a lazy effort from a company not known for it. Let’s hope the 2013 changes to this vehicle correct those flaws.

Here’s a microwave oven transformer that’s been modified into a dangerous little device. Now it can pump out 800 amps of electrical current, so let’s use it to melt some metal!

WARNING:

Burning galvanized metal may release toxic Zinc Oxide fumes. This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, cardiac arrest, serious injury, permanent damage to equipment and property, and/or death. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

By modifying the secondary coil on a MOT, the transformer is converted from a high voltage/low current device into a low voltage/high current metal melter. The first MOT in the video produces just over 500 amps, and the second one is capable of nearly 800 amps.

Any metal that can conduct such low voltage electricity acts as a resistor between the electrode wires, and heats up due to the extreme electrical friction.

I plan to make a new project turning this into a more proper and useful spot welder, although I can find very little use for a spot welder at the moment.
