Air Umbrella, a real invisible umbrella is a device that shields you & protects you & shelters you from the rain. Air Umbrella by using the air flow creates a force field of air & protects you from the rain. Air Umbrella has been invented by the Designers of China along with a team of Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics Postgraduate students from July in 2012 to August in 2013. Air Umbrella is developed based on Air flow concept: The air is present everywhere on the Earth. And this air when blown fastly creates energy. The faster the air flows the greater will be the energy produced. And this energy from the flowing air can change the direction of the object also. So this concept of air flow is made used in Air Umbrella. So by using the airflow an invisible cover forms over us as umbrella & protects us from rain drops.
Over the past two years, a team of designers in China has been working with postgraduate students at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics & invented a new type of umbrella that works without those spiky, flimsy metal poles.
This Air Umbrella is a new type of invisible Umbrella which will have no spikes, no metal poles, no canopy & also not flimsy. Then too it creates magical force field with the air circulating around you in seconds. Air Umbrella is a wonder device that works on the concept of Air flow.
Air Umbrella, a fashionable, stylish & a magical wonder device is a portable handy device. It contains three parts: a lithium battery, a motor & a fan. And these three parts coherently works & creates a air field that flows from the tip. And this air field created is much more enough to deflect the rain particles away from the Air Umbrella device holder. And with ease two people can fit under the Air Umbrella comfortably.
Currently only one model of air umbrella-b is put into practice. According to different demands of various users, two more types of umbrellas were designed based on air umbrella-b (basic style), that is, air umbrella-a (for female) and air umbrella-c (scalable). According to Nick Lavars at Gizmag: the team is developing three models to be delivered to the market: Air Umbrella-a, Air Umbrella-b & Air Umbrella-c. Air Umbrella-b is basic style, Air Umbrella-a, for females & Air Umbrella-c is scalable.
Air Umbrella-features:
- Air Umbrella-a designed for females.
- It is just 30 centimeters in length.
- It weighs 500 grams.
- It cannot be scalable.
- And it comes with a battery life of 15 minutes.
Air Umbrella-b features:
- Air Umbrella-b is the basic style.
- It is 50 centimeters in length.
- It weighs 800 grams.
- It comes with a battery life of 30 minutes.
Air Umbrella-c features:
- Air Umbrella-c is Scalable model.
- It can be extendable from 50 centimeters to 80 centimeters.
- It comes with a battery life of 30 minutes.
And still team is working on betterments of Air Umbrella models for improved battery life. And it is planned to deliver the Air Umbrella products via more than 500 Kickstarter backers with more than $70,000 Pledged amount from December 2015.
