How would you like to shield yourself from the rain with an invisible umbrella?
The Air Umbrella is a design concept by Je Sung Park and Woo Jung Kwon that uses no canopy. Instead, the shaft blows out air to form an air curtain to keep you dry, according to Yanko Design:
Physics and a lot of engineering stuff is clogging my brains to accept this design, but if I put these dark clouds of doubt out of the way, we may have something in this concept. Think about it!
The umbrella is designed to be adjustable. The length of the stick and size of the air canopy can be modified to accommodate multiple multiple. With this intriguing design, maybe one day we could say goodbye to accidental umbrella assaults.
