When I was in the pet department of my local bargain store looking for a squeaker toy for my Mobile Mini Stomp Canon I picked up this Vibrating Cat Toy and thought it probably had a clockwork motor inside that I could adapt to power a toy car. This project works fine although I would use a larger pulley on the back axle if I had one as the initial power is low and the car only just gets moving. Once it is going it accelerates well.
