The wire tip is dangerous because a child can step on it and itch its foot. You should use a longer wire and bend it so that it is curved, so that it does not have a sharp point and thus it is not stepped on by a child, or by a blind old man.

*QUESTION: I realize this is meant to be a "humane" catch & release trap & I'm guessing it can't really turn around in there, so if I intend to later kill it to eat, do you have any suggestions on killing it safely, perhaps while it is still in the trap?*

I like the oldschool trapping how the first settlers did. This is the newschool and I like it too. Keep evolving

Sir, you are a prince! Thank you for this very clever solution!

This is sequential logic that should be taught in schools. It is a practical manner to introduce many movements including mathematics and computer logic in a manner of speaking as all the trap is, it is a computer that catches squirrels with its logic. Many children are sick and tired of sitting in a class learning symbols of the alphabet with its artificiality. Many children like movements and logic and here is a unit that could provide interest to children. * It teaches balance, torque. levers. * It teaches geometry and trigonometry through the change of distances in the release mechanicsm. * It teaches the shutting unit and the closing action where the momentum and conservation of energy would cause bouncing. * It teaches how to damp the action through the magnets. * I like the locking device where the shutter is locked by the barrier you included. * it teaches the relation between circumference and a diameter and if measurements are taken even pi could be determined! * It teaches about tangents to a curve * As far as handling the material itself, its springiness, its moment of inertia as one notices the delay involved. Schools should introduce such adventurous spirits in schools and so many more static and dynamic issues. Congratulations, many teachers would not approve of this method of knowledge transfer, but it is to be considered as to its effect. Education should not be symbolic and for the convenience of the teachers, but for the good and interest of the students.

After seeing your brilliant trap, I imagine a cartoon long movie with Chip and Dale caught together in this trap. Think about all the thrill, brainstorming, planning, teamwork and so on... "The Great Escape". Walt Disney could be proud on this scenario! LOL

Just a couple of changes. Drill a couple of holes toward the back for air and light for the squirrel to see the peanuts. Instead of using a coupler you can use a short piece of the 4" and split it along the top. To avoid the door hanging open a little when the trap goes down cut the pipe at a small angle so that when it goes down the door will be vertical.

Brilliant. One thing I learnt is squirrels are smart. Had like 4 squirrels out back digging up my yard. Used a rat trap.. was able to catch one. When I went to fetch the caught squirrel, 1 other was trying to hep it escape and the other 2 up on the trees watching. After resetting the trap later in the afternoon one of the squirrels was approaching the trap but the helper squirrel ran quick and stopped the squirrel from touching the trap. Since, no squirrel has bothered to get the food from the trap...

Update!, I have now caught 8in total, just one to go, added a 120gm weight to the door end so the squirrel goes to the very end of the tube as some have escaped as the tail has not gone in and kept the door open, still an amazing build!….. update! caught 17 in total, as I catch what I think is the last another “moves in”… it’s now a hobby!

On a larger scale, would it work for a lynx, fox, wolverine..etc? You might try building a larger prototype and marketing it to the trapping industry as a more humane approach to catching animals for their fur. The current method is cruel... the animal's leg is literally broken when it sets foot on a trap and thereafter it dies a slow & painful death trying to rip its paw out unsuccessfully. On one hand, this method would allow for a less stressful death, on the other it would preserve the part of the fur that gets ripped in the trap. Combined with some electronics that alerts the trapper to his quarry and it might be worth something. Still hard to imagine humans do such evil things... but perhaps this might be more humane. Just throwing out an idea.

Humane traps are ok but we need to eliminate them. Do you have a kill trap?
