Somewhat related question: I quite enjoy such articles where people take apart consumer electronics, although I don't know the jargon ("an extruded plastic tube with a secondary rotational drilling operation" - wat?). Does someone know accessible resources (as in "no dry textbooks") for mechanical engineering?

Watch AvE take stuff apart on Youtube. His disassembly of the Juicero would be a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cp-BGQfpHQ or this one disassembling an overpriced Dyson hairdryer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-vJxez9UF8
IFixIt documents teardowns. They are very interesting and easy to read.
