Step 1: Turn the key triggering the Mouse
Deathtrap (razorblade mousetrap).
Step 2: The Mouse Deathtrap releases a string that
drops a pin releasing a marble.
Step 3: The marble goes through a length of small
tubing.
Step 4: The marble collides with dominoes at the
end of the tubing.
Step 5: The dominoes fall onto each other and trip
another mousetrap.
Step 6: The mousetrap is connected to a rod that
raises the volume of the speakers.

In Step 1: There is torque in the turning of the key.
Step 2: There is tension in the string and the pin drops
due to gravity which releases the marble.
Step3: The potential energy in the marble is converted
to kinetic as it begins to go through the tubing.
Step 4: An elastic collision occurs between the marble
and the first domino resulting in the marble bouncing
back into tubing.
Step 5: Dominos are pushed beyond center of mass and
create inelastic collisions as each one falls into the next.
Step 6: Rotational kinetic energy, torque, and rotational
velocity turns up the volume on the speaker.
