My Project • Taking apart a mechanical device. • Explaining how every subsystem works. • Draw assembly diagrams. • Fully understand my item. • Item Chosen-Electric Hair Trimmer
Steps • Take apart the Electric Hair Trimmer. • Identify all the subsystems. • Draw the assembly diagram on the lab notebook.
Observations • The parts inside cost less than 5 dollars. • The hair trimmer is not at all a complicated machine. • Many things can be achieved with a simple electric motor. • The Simplicity of the design makes it acsessible.
Conclusion • One can learn many things from dissecting a machine. • Most things are not as complicated as they seem. • The best design is the simplest design that accomplishes its purpose.
