We love his intro music to stay a part of the show, try to explain it, there's a whole thing that has to happen afterwards, but all the energy goes into the intro music.

Today we are joined by the Hacksmith. This is quite a pleasure. What's your actual name? James Hossin.

James, thank you for coming on the show today. You came at a weird time. I was mentioning this before. We started rolling. The studio is kind of in a state of disarray.

There's work going on. We've moved to the other end of it. Will was up all hours of the night trying to figure out how to reach get everything ready to go.

Who knows? This may go off without a hitch or the whole thing might melt down. Maybe that's fitting. I was watching your channel.

There's a lot of experimentation going on. There's some engineering going on. Things can go wrong. Things have gone wrong.

I did watch this video with the Adam Antium Wolverine Claus. This is obviously amazing. There's a fun one. I'm going to give a little bit of background on this one. This is a type of, what is it? An alloy?

It's actually a nickel titanium alloy. If you temper it in a certain way, you can basically program in its shape. When you get a temperature differential, try to return to that shape.

This material is called nightnull. That's right. That's actually used very heavily in the sounds badass. It's used in the medical industry for like guide wires and braces, even like bone staples.

The heat of the human body is actually basically causing tension in the material. I was trying to continue closing the whole of the bone in place. It's a really fascinating material.

I've used it before in the past, but usually it's like wire, thin, tiny pieces. This is the biggest piece of nightnull I've ever seen.

It would, I would assume it would be expensive this stuff. Yeah, I'd say the amount of material just for that blade is probably a few hundred dollars.

So compare that to like steel that would be like less than a dollar of material.

Crazy.

So like one of the most common comments we got in that video is like, we should make cars out of this. I'm like, maybe a super car, but even then like no.

I went to some place called smarter alloys in the video.

It's just a local business in Cambridge.

And their main main market is the medical technology. So they do.

They also do nightnull drill bits for doing root canal.

Oh, yes, I saw that.

It literally goes into the root.

So like one, but like you need, you need that kind of thing because you don't want to have a drill bit snap in your right in your tooth and whatnot.
