Futuristic Air-Blocking Umbrellas

The Dyson Airblow 2050 Uses Air Technology To Protect You

— January 16, 2013 — Tech
If you hate it when your umbrella flips upward and leaves you soaking in the rain, then this prospective Dyson Airblow 2050 design will solve that problem using its revolutionary air technology.

The idea behind this one-of-a-kind umbrella is that it eliminates the need for fabric all together, and uses a special air technology to shield people from the rain. The technology involves a motorized device that absorbs the surrounding air and releases it to create a "protection dome." That unique dome is what protects users from the rain.

With a dial feature to start up the motor, this imaginative umbrella takes modern technology to a whole other level. This futuristic concept is both inventive and inspiring; to think we could one day shield ourselves from the rain using a protective air dome is just mind-blowing.
Trend Themes
1. Air-based Technology - Innovative use of motorized air device to create a protection dome opens up opportunities for other products to incorporate air-based technology.
2. Elimination of Fabric - The idea of replacing fabric with air technology introduces a trend towards more eco-friendly and sustainable products.
3. Revolutionizing Traditional Products - The Dyson Airblow 2050 disrupts the traditional umbrella industry and provides opportunities for other products to be innovated with cutting-edge technology.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The air-based technology used in the Dyson Airblow 2050 umbrella could be applied to other electronic products, creating new opportunities in the consumer electronics industry.
2. Fashion and Apparel - The elimination of fabric and incorporation of air technology can be applied to fashion and apparel to create new products that are eco-friendly and innovative.
3. Outdoor Equipment - The introduction of air-based technology in outdoor equipment, such as tents, can provide innovative and eco-friendly solutions to traditional products.
