A team of designers and engineers from China-based Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics have come together to design the ‘Air Umbrella’.
The Air Umbrella is an umbrella unlike any you have seen. It does not comprise of a waterproof tarp layer or structural metal rod. It simply utilizes air flow to protect the user from rain.
With multi-directional air-jets that create an invisible shield, it keeps the user dry from the rain.
The project is currently in its Kickstarter stage and there are three models available in varying sizes.
Watch its Kickstarter introduction below:
