# Futuristic Air-Blocking Umbrellas The Dyson Airblow 2050 Uses Air Technology To Protect You By Tana Makmanee | Published 2013-01-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-airblow References: [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/quentindebaene/DYSON-AIRBLOW-2050) & [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/flotspotting/quentin_debaenes_dyson-powered_invisible_umbrella_concept_24167.asp) If you hate it when your umbrella flips upward and leaves you soaking in the rain, then this prospective [Dyson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-cool-cf1) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **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. - **Elimination of Fabric:** The idea of replacing fabric with air technology introduces a trend towards more eco-friendly and sustainable products. - **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. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **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. - **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. - **Outdoor Equipment:** The introduction of air-based technology in outdoor equipment, such as tents, can provide innovative and eco-friendly solutions to traditional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Inspired Folding Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloombrella.md) - [OLED Weather Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Rainproof Wheelchair Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobidry.md) - [Car Roof Luggage Holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-storage.md) - [All-Weather Protection Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherman-trek-umbrella.md) - [Sturdy Heat Relief Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aliz-umbrella.md) - [Air-Blowing Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mask.md) - [Two-People Umbrella Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-rain.md)
