Car Catapult

Grab an illegal street sign made from corrugated plastic, cut, bend and make a toy car launching ramp which will gravity catapult your toy cars fast enough to knock down plastic army men or card houses.

I made a very small ramp for this i'ble so it would show better.

You can make the ramp much longer and steeper.

This is designed so it folds flat for storage.

You can add more track by using plastic drinking straw bits as joiners between tracks.

Just like some space probes use the Earth as a gravitational catapult to hurl them into space, this simple ramp uses gravity to zoom your car along.

Little kids enjoy a portable ramp, especially if you can aim it to knock things down.

Step 1 Tools
