The "Time Machine" Rat Trap . The Rodent Trap Of The Future - Mousetrap Monday 

Hi everyone! I'm the designer of this trap. A little additional info: My city has a problem with norway rats, but also a ton of native wildlife - I got tired of releasing the chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, birds, and skunks that were ending up in my havahart live traps, and watching them be disabled by larger animals. This trap, so far, hasn't caught any non-target species in my testing. You can see it catching a norway rat here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M05t1ka3dEE.html Also, well done to whoever grabbed the QR code from Shawn's video. I was wondering how long that would take, and it was about 23 minutes. :)

Trying to get the rats to scan that QR code is going to be a real challenge!

Hello, Shawn! I've always wanted to see a trap with a laser trigger as I've mentioned to you several times in the past. No sensitivity, no escapes, a perfect example of the simple made complicated in the very best possible way. Triggers have almost always been the failure point, so... problem solved! Sounds like you and Matthew could very well team up for the perfectly designed rat trap. Trigger size doesn't matter anymore. Thank you so much.

Shawn: Ok, packrats, welcome to your new home! Rats: WTF, where's the home?!

Your pet mice live in a mouse version of Disney World. Free rides, tons of treats, and video cameras everywhere.

Spectacular trap for Rats. The Pack Rats were interesting to learn about. Thanks.

One improvement is making it quieter. It seems noisy and may scare some rodents away after the previous catch. Other upgrade, make tunnel look like some more natural tunnel and entrance.

It looks like you are using infra-red light. FYI: you need to adjust the focus when using infra-red, as this light does not focus at the same distance as visible light.

This is fantastic and super modern. TMMT has a nice ring to it. Very smart individual to design this. I'm jealous of this persons skill in electronics.

A 14 year old boy has come up with a working trap for wallaby here in NZ. Bay of Plenty I believe. He uses AI tech and a camera. It view the creature venturing near the trap..It could be a kiwi, cat, rabbit, rat or wallaby. If it recognizes the image as a wallaby it allows access to the bait, the wallaby pokes its head in and is killed by CO2 powered device. Resets and starts all over again. Genuis use of overlapping technology.

Interesting, but I still like the simplicity of the "Flip-n-Slide" 5 gal bucket trap. No batteries, power supply, microprocessor, or stepper motors, just simple gravity. We use one in the barn and another in our old farmhouse cellar, and catch multiple mice daily. The older I get, the more I appreciate simplicity. But hey, to each his own.

I love how technology has reverted back to "You've Got Mail!"

I watch YT, and I often think, man, there are some smart people! I wish I could do just some of the stuff I see!

It's actually pretty entertaining to watch this trap!

Dizzy Dunker count: 7 Chipmunks and 20 mice. past month. Slow traffic area , too. Got another mouse today. Works perfectly. Figured out a few minor tips to ensure success. talk later..thanx to Shawn

Add a built-in rechargeable battery and it will be truly portable, and rats won't chew the power cord

Definitely one of the most satisfying traps you've showcased. I've never seen you so excited to review a trap!

This was very fun to watch.

7:00 they’re so adorable 🥺🥺

3D printers really have helped home inventors bring their ideas to life. Deer Mice carry the Hantavirus...dispatch them!

ok pack rats are adorable

I LOVE ELECTRONIC MOUSE TRAPS!!!! The Victor one like this is a really good design, just too cheaply made to perform reliably. I've had two that broke. Just need better parts made with metal instead of plastic, and waterproof coated electronics.

As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family.

My sister had a live trap. She released mouse in Forest Preserve area, it ran off and an owl swooped down and took it.

I've seen a spring-loaded trap door version of this that also works quite well. batteries not included.

Very nice design. Those planetary gears act as bearings, I suspect there's very little friction which is exactly what you want.

The simple traps are $50 how much will this thing set ya back? The perfect rat traps are the ones that sell. It doesn't matter how good something is if its too expensive to be used. I made cast iron spatulas from new Lodge skillets. The price that people are willing to spend is $30. They worked great for the smash burger guys because you can't bend one and they double as a bacon press. I need $45 or it isn't worth my time therefore it was a bad idea.

Dude. Where is the Rancor? 😂 reminded me return of the Jedi when Jabba sent Luke into the pit 😊

7:57 BONK

"... they are k ow as pack rats" inscription flashbacks ensue

"Ackbar v0.2".. because "It's a trap!".. lol

WELCOME to MouseLand ... enjoy the rides 🐁

You should have used t-nuts and screws into to aluminium profile. Where you screwed the covers on the 3d print is now much weaker.

Wow ! Great machine and nice knowledge about native and invasive species. ❤♠👀

Just a little info. Instead of drilling holes in the ends of the frame of that trap to mount the plastic panels, you could have used t slot nuts and screws to secure it to the aluminum extrusion.

LOL! Love the Star Wars easter egg: the "Ackbar v0.2" circuit board. "IT'S A TRAP!!!"

If it's big enough I bet you could capture squirrels too.

I could totally use your trap in my downstairs at my house… I have so many rats that are trap smart

It would be cool if that electronic trap could attach little hats on the mice and rats before dropping them down.

Facial hair is looking good, Shawn!

It's as cool to see as any Rube Goldberg device.

That would be great in my attic. The Wi-Fi feature would help with disposal.

Balls of steel to play with rats like that

Cool trap! Thanks!

We love mouse trap Mondays. Have you ever thought about tagging your mice or marking them somehow so you know which ones you've already caught in your barn?

I'd been trying around with an idea like this but this guy is so much smarter than me. The only feature that I had thought of that it doesn't seem he has on this is being able to look with a camera and activate the trap from your phone from watching previous videos. It seems that tons of rats will go on it and sit there and eat the peanut butter so you can maybe catch a few at a time if you can activate it yourself rather than automatically

I recently bought the dizzy dunker. I love it! 5 stars

Shawn, your pet rats are adorable!❤

Amazing engineering as well as high level software coding. Definitely from the future.

Need some blue and green LEDs under that clear Lexan enclosure for that custom gaming PC experience

I can't be the only one who pictured mice and rats walking up to the trap, pulling out their phones and scanning the QR code.

Still need a catapult trap!

6:35 HE LOOKS SO SCARED NOOOOOOOOOO free my man he didn't do nothing

He just made a hi-tech Dizzy Dunker 🤷🏾‍♂️ hope you have a patent for that 😂

To help your friend out, is there any way? He can get that on a circular top for a five gallon bucket. Most people don't have a square fish tank..

Or just use a roller. Nothing is more simple and efficient as a simple rolling walkway over a 5 gallon bucket. No bootup, no batteries, just gravity.

I love the PCB referencing Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars: "It's a trap!"

Crazy how you touch them with your bare hands

Add a solar panel to charge the battery and BAM no need to use the grid.

Think about a viewing window to the dizzy dunker

humans are the master of innovation. To think 100's of years ago of mice trap to this. Even to the simplest stuff humans go nuts

I always love see those multi catch traps.😊😊😊

Super Nice Job!!!!😎😎😎

I’m more impressed that you have a flip phone!

That beard is too amazingly fitting on you!

even the trap sound a bit scarry.

You must be appreciated twice, one by the trapped rats and mice when you release them in the forest, and the other is from those predators of rats, mice, like snakes, birds for providing their prey.

Money talks that would be way over budget for me on S.S. Our snakes must a good job on our open fields. Did see a coyote on surveillance camera, the other night first one mostly just raccoons, which I dislike also.

the secont rat lookes so confuesed on 6:10

Very cool! But does it work on Brown Norway rats?

Love the videos Shawn, keep up the amazing research and content

First clip the rat looked like he thought "what in the?!"

Good work Crawdaddy 👍

I think you look much better cleaner without beard.

11:20 You don’t need a smart phone to receive notifications if you have an echo or HomePod device. The alert should go right to it. That scruffy look definitely switches up Shawn’s look. Definitely going to gain a few more subscribers I’d imagine.

I like the beard, looks good👍

Good looking trap! 👍

Now add a shedder to the bottom. 🤔

Those native rats look like small possums.

Hey Shawn, are you familiar with a song called Rat Trap by a band called The Boomtown Rats?

Cant just be me who thinks the sound of the whirring reminds me of the robot itchy and scratchys from I&S land?

Awesome trap!

I have 3 rats in the attic I put out tube traps and the walk the plank trap too. These rats too smart I even tried peanut butter, cookies, Carmel corn Cat food. They won't touch it. I even put out food with no trap and still they won't go near it! Help!!!!!!

Impressive. Guess that's what they mean when they talk about "building a better mouse trap". The only thing I don't like is what do you do with the trapped rats? I'm not sticking my hand down there with them. I can just picture a rat climbing up my arm or biting me...

Rat got dropped and looked around like, "tf was that?"

lol... Ackbar... "it's a trap!!!"

pretty sure you could use this for squirrels too right?

is it really a laser or just an IR emmiter and detector?

Shawn, how does someone ask you for recommendations? Seeking to setup a bucket style trap , where the liquid will not freeze at 32 degrees F.

does it have a flux capacitor in it?

This trap looks really amazing, but if you think about it, it is performing the exact same function as The Dizzy Dunker, which uses no power or technology, and has only one moving part.

Ok I’m ready to get one! Thanks

My bucket with an old pop bottle is much simpler, more reliable, cheaper and no batteries required.

i gave up no-shave-november long ago. the mat on the floor gets cold, even with an electric blanket, in november. she wasn't having any of not shaving. no kids concieved in november. and her?

"Hot Tub Time Machine" - Mice walk the plank and get dunked in the "Dizzy Dunker" filled with hot water and Dawn Dish soap.

What happened to Judy and Judas?

Decent

Awesome engineering Mathew.

Hello there. What would be the best thing to keep the rats away from your engine compartment?
