To make it better, we added some material to absorb and reduce the noise. They worked to increase the air flow and reduce the speed of the motor, they said, and "sometimes you can just hear deep voice of air flow. Responding to a FAQ section about whether the battery life is rather short, they answered, "Generally speaking, the products are more suitable for the urban citizens or people who has a car." They were aware of the noise factor and addressed it. A standard model, 50 cm, 800 g, with a battery life of 30 minutes, and the scalable model-50 cm shortened and 80 cm when extended, weighing 850 g and also with battery life of 30 minutes.) (The creators said they have three different models in mind: A 30 cm, 500 g device, umbrella-a, for females, with 15 minutes of battery life. The lowest price available at the time of this writing is $118 for the umbrella-a with charger. having garnered at the time of this writing $32, 506. They already surpassed their funding goal of $10,000. The umbrella is targeted for December 2015. They have turned to Kickstarter for crowdfunding. Their Air Umbrella is not yet ready for primetime the team says it is still in the stages of R&D. They also said, "If the wind is not very high, the air umbrella can still deflect the natural wind and rain and work well." "All of our tests and experiments were conducted under circumstances of heavy rains," they said. One of the samples worked to their liking and they then went to some graduates from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to improve the design. The device that they came up with for using air flow to shield users from pelting rain had its roots in their working with postgraduates from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and then going out to test various types based on the idea, on rainy days. Nick Lavars at Gizmag said the " umbrella uses a lithium battery to power a motor and fan, which creates a cycle of air flowing through its tip to deflect the drops and form the protective layer." The South China Morning Post said that Wang Chuan and his friends have been working on the patented technology for about two years. Despite the significant size of the rechargeable lithium pack, umbrella ‘A’ offers only 15 minutes of protection at a time, while ‘C’ provides 30 minutes.Components are lithium battery, motor, controller and master switch. Two, it eats battery life faster than Facebook for iPhone. Dyson should really put this sleeker concept into production. The smallest measures 30 centimetres and weighs in at 500 grams, while the largest is extendable, to a length of 80 centimetres, and weighs 850 grams. Three sizes are available, the ‘A’, which is selling for $88 the ‘B’, priced at $98 and the ‘C’ at $108. With ten days to go, the Kickstarter campaign has exceeded its target goal, thanks to 97 backers pledging to the tune of $10,283.
A controller at the base of the handle enables the user to manipulate the umbrella’s force, to meet the rain’s intensity. Wang then spent time working with PhD graduates from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to reduce the size, while maintaining an effective level of airflow. It began life as a prototype back in November 2012. Hence, you’re kept dry, without the inconvenience of carrying around a soggy piece of fabric that will invariably whack your fellow pedestrians in the face.Ĭreated by Nanjing-based inventor Chuan Wang, the air umbrella is currently funding on Kickstarter. By sucking in air at one end and pushing it out at the other, the motorised head creates a jet airflow, pushing raindrops away from you.
It might look like a magic wand, but it acts like an umbrella. If Harry Potter and Singing in the Rain were mashed up, this gadget would be the key prop.
