I\u2019ve had the privilege of interviewing over 50 engineers while co-hosting the \u201cBeing an Engineer Podcast<\/a>.\u201d I\u2019ve noticed a trend of senior mechanical engineers mentioning that tearing apart and reverse engineering products\/gadgets is one of the optimal ways to improve one\u2019s mechanical engineering skill set.<\/p>\n

I have a passion for optimizing my learning curve, which led me on the path of developing this video playlist called \u201cThe Mechanism Library,\u201d in which I\u2019ll tear apart products all around us to teach you their inner working mechanisms using SOLIDWORKS. (So that you don\u2019t have to, and can learn them in less than 8 minutes per gadget). Join me on the journey to becoming a better mechanical design engineer in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019ll tear apart an Air Pump Suction Cup device. I\u2019ll teach you the mechanisms that govern the device, while specifically focusing on how the mini air pump works.<\/p>\n

Note: For a full, rich explanation on how the inner mechanisms work, make sure the watch the video below and leave a comment. You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n
