Well, there you are. Great to see you today. Everything okay? C'mon in here out of the rain...or snow.,..or sunshine... whatever. Coffee's fresh and the virtual treats are vying for your attention so dig in! Speaking of rain, there's something new on the market. Read on...
A team of engineers in China is currently involved in
developing something called the ‘Air Umbrella’ – a revolutionary new
device that uses blasts of air to shield people from the rain. The
high-tech umbrella, shaped like a plastic microphone, is capable of
producing horizontal gusts of air that repel raindrops, creating a dry,
one meter wide circle around the user’s head.
There is a small catch, of course – the device works only
for a short while. In true Cinderella style, the ‘magic’ wears off at
the stroke of the 30th minute – the umbrella stops producing air and
you’ll be drenched in no time at all. So you’d probably want to use it
only if you’re confident you can get out of the rain in 30 minutes or
less.
Hmmm...interesting, eh? It would be great if the inventors could come up with a large one to replace, say, a tent or outdoor display booth. They'd obviously need a much larger battery or a plug-in, right? Maybe one affixed to the top of your car that emits warm air to keep off overnight snow and ice...wouldn't that be something? Let me know what you think!
See ya, eh!
