Air Umbrella by Je Sung Park

Air Umbrella by Je Sung Park
Try Air To Stay Dry Back in May last year I did a roundup of the Most Unconventional Umbrellas seen here on YD. I wish I had stumbled across the Air Umbrella then, because it’s the mother of unconventional designs! Imagine an umbrella with no canopy! The barrier between you and the raindrops is a sheet of steady air that is blown out by this hollow pipe. Physics and a lot of engineering stuff is clogging my brains to accept this design, but if I put these dark clouds of doubt out of the way, we may have something in this concept. You can control the length of the stick and the size of the air canopy. Designers: Je Sung Park & Woo Jung Kwon

It is part of the e2fsprogs project. It can be a good idea to periodically check for bad blocks.
