Reverse Engineering: Mechanicnal Product - Functional Analysis

1. What is the purpose or primary function of the object?

• the primary function of the flashlight is to provied light in case of emergancey

2. Make an educated guess as to how this product operates. Use simple machines’ terminology to explain the object’s sequential operation.

• batteries supply enrgy when sombody turns it on.  batteries supply energy travels to the bulb and lightsn the flash light up

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?

• flash light bulb
• switch,

5. What is it about this device’s function that you cannot identify, because the mechanical components are hidden from plain view?

• the way the light turns on
• the path of the circut
