Airblow 2050 is your futuristic umbrella concept. This project has been designed as part of James Dyson Award based on the idea how unpractical our conventional umbrella is. As you already know, umbrella causes your floor wet, users collision, and turns inside out when strong wind blows. Keeping this in mind, the designer played with the idea what if there’s no fabric? What can we use to protect us from the rain?
Airblow 2050 has been designed based on Dyson’s technology, it utilizes Dyson digital motor to inhales air and blows it out and create invisible protection dome to bounce any water drops. User can open this concept umbrella and turn on the motor to create air dome, pretty cool, isn’t it? One thing for sure, you will not able to use this umbrella to protect you from the sun.

I think the future is less umbrellas, and hydrophobic clothing, not increasingly complex solutions with 100% reliance on electricity to operate.
This futuristic umbrella is really interesting. I hope it comes out in the market soon.
Great and cool design!
I agree with Steve. Plus wouldn't this spray more water on other people?
great design !! little inconvenient it will blow the raindrops, and it will sprinkle on other people
I think drops would hit you into your face, while using this gadget. Because rain does not fall strait down
the guest is right. rain falls in diagonally and the air is pushed up only.
把手太长，不易携带，而且它需要充电，它的续航是多久？这有点不符合环保设计！
I have to google translate your comment, but I don't think the handle is too long, in fact it's a telescopic handle, therefore, it's shorter than conventional umbrella when not in use.
