Reverse Engineering- Mechanical- Function Analysis

1. What is the purpose or primary function of the object?The primary function of the object is to provide safety for drivers in case of an accidnet or malfunction.

2. Make an educated guess as to how this product operates. Use simple machines’ terminology to explain the object’s sequential operation.This product probably operates through an on and off switch

3. Identify the system inputs, intended product function, and outputs. Use power point to create a "black box" graphic like the toothbrush example discussed in class. Save the slide as a .jpg image and post it to answer this question.



4. What mechanical components are visible?the button

5. What is it about this device’s function that you cannot identify, because the mechanical components are hidden from plain view?
Yes, because the mechanical components are hidden from plain view. There is a plastic covering over the product where the whistle is, which makes it hard to see if there's anything else driving this intense device.
