Recently, a man introduced his latest invention to the world-an upside down hair-washing machine. The strange machine looks like an upside down table used to cure back pain, with a transparent tank fitted near the bottom.
In order to show how it worked, the man lay on the table, clipping his nose and placing a plastic tube in his mouth to allow him to breathe under the water. After he turned on the machine the table slowly moved backwards until his head was fitted into the tank. And after he opened a valve, water began to fill in the tank while a small board at the bottom started turning round and round rapidly, creating a current, which ensured that all of his hair was given a good wash. At last, after the water ran from the tank, hot air from the hair-drying system gave the man a perfect blow dry.
The man, who invented this interesting machine, is Geng Shual, a 31-year-old DIY fan from Baoding, Hebei Province. He is famous for his inventions, such as a meat knife smartphone case, a BBQ football table and an earth quakeproof noodle bowl. Most of them are not useful but funny.
Geng may be a new kind of social media star whose calling card is his uncommonness. Most days he doesn't go to sleep until after midnight. He tries to come up with a new invention every week and to make videos three times a week. He makes about 150 every time he does a live broadcast. He can make enough money to support his family--his wife, their children and his brother.
Now he is called "Useless Edison" on the Internet and his whimsical inventions are always on the way. If you are interested, search him on the Internet!
