    About that toy car

    What is that toy car called which runs by energy inside a spring. So when you push back on the car for a while and let it go, it goes forward. I just need to know some details about it (like how it's made and what are the Physics principals involved in it).
    Baaaaaaaaah

    I think it's just a coiled spring. As you pull it back you compress the spring and store elastic strain (?) energy in it, which is released as kinetic, driving the car forwards.


    I think.

    Ya, that's the simplest thing I got. I have to write about the "Physical Principles" in details. First one would be "Energy conversion" and then I guess there should be more.

    Kinetic energy transfered to potential energy, then is again released as kinetic energy.

    Basicly.
