Abstract
James Hobson, a mechanical engineer better known as The Hacksmith, has fashioned a YouTube career from building real-world versions of video game and comic book gadgets—Make It Real videos. Like every inventor, Hobson has a garage packed with tools. These range from laser cutters to 3D printers. Sometimes, they provide cosmetic packaging for his concoctions. Other times, like his metal printed 20-kilowatt heat saber, they are highly functional. This article charts his career journey.
詹姆斯·霍布森(James Hobson)是一名机械工程师,更广为人知的名字是“骇客史密斯”(The Hacksmith),他通过制作现实世界版的视频游戏和漫画书中的小玩意——《让它成真》(make It Real)视频,在YouTube上建立了自己的职业生涯。和所有的发明家一样,霍布森的车库里堆满了工具。这些设备的范围从激光切割机到3D打印机。有时,他们为他的混合物提供化妆品包装。其他时候,比如他的金属打印的20千瓦热剑,它们功能强大。本文描绘了他的职业生涯。
