how does this toy car work?

651 viewsEngineeringOther

My kid has this toy car and it doesn’t take batteries, it just takes a small push and can go really far and take a lot of obstacles. Inside there are a bunch of gears that seem to propel the car, but in terms of conservation of momentum and energy, I don’t get how it can go so well. how this works? (I do have a 5 yo but she doesn’t care as much as I do about getting a correct answer.)

Is it a Darda Car? I got a few of them in France in the 80s when I was a kid. They have a tiny barrel with a spring and gearing inside.
