This is an invisible umbrella that repels rain by creating a shield of air/wind above you. The actual object is just a plastic wand that you can adjust based on how many people you want the umbrella to cover.

Okay, granted that this is still a concept and hasn't actually been manufactured yet, but how awesome is that?!

I want one of those! D:

Me too!! That's all kinds of awesome :D

I think i will stick to a regular umbrella. some stuff is just too high tech for me.

I'll help you test it, Poet!!

You stand there and I'll throw buckets of water at you [eager]

But the water splashes back at people around them so wouldn't that be like throwing buckets of water at yourself indirectly? XD

[ninja] I'd use a hosepipe then :D

Wouldn't you still get watered sprayed on you?

Not if I used a jet wash from a good distance away [ninja]

Depends on how powerful the umbrella is xD

But this is to test it! <8D

I will let you squirt the water on it and get wet, i will set up a video camera and watch from inside my warm house xD

Aw, that's no fun [cry]

You're the one that wants to play in the water xD

This is actually quite useful

I wasn't intending it to backfire on me though [ninja]

Jelly I think you are very talkative today, do you have a day off work today?

I never work on a Friday [ninja]

And your signature just made me snort xD

Good :D

If anyone still needs ideas on what to buy me for Christmas, I've decided that I need these shoes. kthanx

They're designed by Kobi Levi.

As far as umbrellas go, I'd be more inclined to buy this one:

It's not ridiculous, but I think it's awesome xD

I love the Shoes Knerd, what would wear with it though?

The umbrella looks silly but awesome! XD

Not ridiculous at all!
