洗头嫌累怎么办？近日，网红搞笑博主“手工耿”自制了一台“全自动倒立洗头机”，360°全方位洗漂吹的同时保证让你头大脸大脑壳疼。
Last week the former welder presented to the world his latest creation — an upside down hair-washing machine. 上周，曾是焊接工的手工耿向世界展现了他的最新发明：倒立式洗头机。
洗头机
具体怎么个洗法儿呢？我们来看英国《每日电讯报》描述的分解动作：
The bizarre machine resembles somewhat of an inversion table used to cure joint and back pain with a transparent tank fitted near the bottom. 这个奇特的机器像是个倒立起来的治疗关节背部疼痛的桌子，在末端安装了一个透明的水箱。
Proceeding to give his viewers a personal demo Geng clipped his nose and placed a plastic tube in his mouth to allow him to breathe underwater. 为了给观众们亲自示范，耿夹住鼻子，嘴里放了一根塑料管，以便他在水下呼吸。
After flicking on a switch the table slowly tilted backwards until his head was fitted into the tank. 打开开关后，桌子缓缓向后方倾斜，最后头部进入水箱。
After turning on a valve water began to fill in the tank as a panel installed at the bottom started spinning creating a current that ensured each strand was given a good wash. 拧开阀门后，清水注入水箱，随后水箱底部的转盘开始旋转，翻滚的水流保证每根发丝得到彻底的清洗。
The pamper routine is completed with a hair-drying system as well. After the water is drained from the tank hot air would be emitted to give the user the perfect blow dry. 一顿捯饬后还有头发烘干系统进行风干。待水箱排水完毕，释放的热风会给使用者一个完美的吹干定型。
这项贴心的发明不仅引来大量微博网友围观，也收割了一大波爱看热闹的外国粉丝。来看《南华早报》在其网站发布视频后外国小伙伴的反应：
爱做一些“无用良品”并拍成视频，让人笑到发抖自己却一本正经，网红小伙耿帅常被网友调侃为“发明界泥石流”，但他其实早已名声在外，外媒早就给他冠上了“无用爱迪生（Useless Edison）”的称号，他制作的小玩意儿也火到了国外。
“无用”爱迪生
Geng Shuai a 31-year-old DIY tinkerer from Baoding Hebei province has shot to fame for his "utterly useless" yet hilarious contraptions including a meat cleaver smartphone case a barbecue foosball table and an earthquake-proof noodle bowl. 31岁的发明工匠耿帅来自河北保定，他完全无用却令人捧腹的发明装置使他一举成名，他曾发明过菜刀手机壳、桌上足球烧烤桌和地震吃面神器。
变成了国际网红的手工耿没少接受外媒专访，在接受《新京报》采访时他坦言：“前两天还有个外国的记者来采访我，挺好，她说啥我一点听不懂，我说的她也不明白，我俩就瞎比划，然后采访愉快的结束了。这件事吧，启发我要与世界接轨……”
2018年《华盛顿邮报》驻华社长安娜•菲尔德就专门跑了一趟河北农村，对这位能工巧匠进行了专访报道，在安娜眼里，手工耿不是一个没用的搞笑网红，而是一位有发明精神的工匠。
华盛顿邮报： 中国的无用的爱迪生”将发明和互联网结合起来，结果令人捧腹
Every country has its toolshed inventors. But China — which gave the world movable type printing gunpowder and the compass — has spawned a population of tinkerers who display the kind of outsize ambition that has helped the country become a global economic giant. 每个国家都有自己的发明家，但在为世界发明了活字印刷、火药和指南针的中国，有一大批喜欢捣鼓小发明的人，他们展现出了能帮助这个国家成为全球经济巨头的非凡抱负。
文章称，在中国这个热爱发明的国家里，有一批人数惊人的农民和“自己动手”爱好者，而手工耿就是其中之一。
Geng may now be the best-known among them — a new kind of social media star whose calling card is his quirkiness. 耿可能是他们（发明家）中最著名的，他属于一种新型网红，他的特色就是怪异。
无厘头发明
也许你还不了解手工耿本人，但你一定在网上看到过他七七八八不着边际的小玩意儿，一旦哪个他做的物件有点实用性，就一定会有网友怒评：“竟然有用，取关！”
我们来看看外媒都关注了他的哪些发明：
Geng is most proud of his hammer bag. It's a hollow steel mallet with a compartment that slides out of the head. Perfect he says for storing your phone keys and wallet. It has a strap so it can hang over the wearer's shoulder. 耿帅最自豪的是他的雷神锤挎包，它是一个中空的钢槌，里面的隔层可以由上端滑出。他说，用来放手机、钥匙和钱包非常完美。它有一条带子，能挂在肩上。
His other inventions include a 66-cm long comb made out of iron 他其他的发明还有66厘米长的铁梳子，
A metal contraption that makes flicking someone on the forehead more painful. 把别人脑门弹得更疼的铁玩意儿。
A toilet built into a scooter that flushes when you pull a lever on the handlebar. 内嵌在摩托车里的马桶，打开车座，按下手柄就能冲水。
2018年在快手平台上火起来的手工耿拥有超过三百万粉丝，制作了数百条视频，正在迅速实现从发明家到企业家的蜕变。
"Most days I don't go to sleep until after midnight I'm so busy thinking OK what should I make next?" said Geng 31 who sports a ponytail and trademark blue dungarees. “大多数时间我都是后半夜才睡，我总是在思考，我下一条视频该做什么。”31岁的耿帅说，他梳着马尾，穿一身标志性的蓝色粗布工装裤。
商业模式
包括英国《卫报》在内的多家外媒都分析过手工耿的赚钱之道，感慨中国网红经济的巨大发展潜力。
《卫报》称，手工耿的收入来源包括网友的打赏（donations given online）、广告（advertisements）以及网上卖货（selling his items online）。
Geng is part of an industry that generates as much as $4.7bn in revenue and one that has few parallels outside of the country. In China the most popular live streams are not of live events or the feeds of friends but performances or shows held by strangers. 耿所在的行业能创收47亿美元，很少国外相应行业能与之抗衡。在中国，最火爆的直播不是来自赛事直播或是朋友圈实时视频，而是来自陌生人的表演。
据《华盛顿邮报》报道，手工耿每次直播的收入是一千元左右。
Geng tries to come up with a new invention every week and to make videos two or three times a week. He makes about $150 every time he does a live-streamed broadcast — decent money in a town where five people can have a lavish lunch for a total of $25. He makes enough to support his family — he and his wife have two children — and his brother who shoots the videos. 耿帅试图每周想出一种新发明，每周制作两三次视频。他每次直播的收入约为150美元（约1035元），在一个五人总共花25美元就能吃一顿丰盛午餐的小镇，这算是不错的收入，他赚的钱足以养活妻子、两个孩子和帮他拍摄这些视频的弟弟。
CNN商业频道甚至专门制作了一条视频介绍手工耿的致富之道。
遇见中国的“无用爱迪生”，拥有超过2百万粉丝的直播发明家
很难想象如今坐拥百万粉丝，依靠线上经济赚钱养家的耿帅是如何实现人生逆袭的，他来自焊工世家，高中毕业就跟着父亲来到北京打工闯荡。
在接受《华盛顿邮报》记者采访时，他给出了自己的答案：
Geng attributes his fame to China's rapid industrialization which has seen millions of people migrate from rural regions to small apartments in the big cities where they work long days. 耿把他的成名归功于中国迅速发展的工业化进程，上百万人搬离农村进入大城市的公寓生活，每天工作很长时间。
"Chinese people love inventions and inventing stuff but because of economic development most people don't have the time to do it " he said. "That's why I am popular — they watch me making things because they can't make things themselves." “中国人热爱发明和研究新东西，但由于经济迅速发展，大部分人根本没时间做这些了，”他说，“所以我才能这么红，大家都爱看我搞发明因为他们自己不能这么做。”
