All the groups in the class were given the option to choose a mechanical tool, with some electrical elements, to apply reverse engineering. Spin Me Around chose a hand mixer.
The group detached the stakes from the mixer. Then, they unscrewed the handle of the hand mixer, which is basically the entire top half, which then revealed the inside of the machine.
On the inside, you will be revealed to:-internal wiring: each wire represents a different speed.
-a black accessory bit, covering the ends of the wires
-2 poles, inside 2 black springs, that go into the center of the gears
-2 spinning gears, where the stakes are attached
-1 fan, which spins the gears, and leads into the electrical unit
-an electrical unit, surrounded by metal so it doesn't come in contact with the other parts
-a white base, that is attached to the internal parts by nails
You'll then detach the internal wiring/electrical unit by unscrewing the nails that are attached to the base.

Once, you have taken out the internal wiring/electrical unit, there are no further steps to disassemble the hand mixer. The wiring is hazardous, so make sure to not mess around with the electrical unit.
To reassemble the hand mixer, screw in the nails back into the base of the machine, being careful of the internal wiring.There is a hole in the handle (top half) of the mixer. The black accessory bit has a stubby segment on it; stick the segment through the handle's hole. Then screw the handle back onto the mixer (there are deep holes, with the screws at the end).
Attach the stakes into the designated holes, then the hand mixer has been reassembled.
