How a Bump Key Works

All modeling, animations, and simulations were done in SOLIDWORKS. Check out our Patreon page if you are interested in SOLIDWORKS design and Simulation self-paced tutorials made by certified SOLIDWORKS design and simulation experts.   / solidpoint3d   If you need SOLIDWORKS modeling or simulation consulting on your devices visit our website at https://www.solidpoint.co In this video, we explore the inner workings of a pin tumbler lock as well as how a bump key can bypass this locks design to open the lock without the key that goes to that lock. By the end of this video, you will have gained an understanding of the engineering principles that most likely keep your home and car locked as well as one method to open the lock without the correct key. VIDEO CREDITS Taran Packer (  / taran-packer-1ba01137  ) - Did all modeling, Script, Simulation, Motion Analysis, Narration, and Music. SOFTWARE USED SOLIDWORKS was exclusively used to make this video. The Lock, keys, and bump hammer were all modeled from scratch in SOLIDWORKS. The motion animations, and simulations, were also all accomplished using SOLIDWORKS Simulation add-ins. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD: https://www.solidworks.com/product/so...
