Rather than use something relatively intangible like air/fire, or something as amorphous as water, perhaps it would be better to make an umbrella out of a solid material. Maybe some sort of fabric made of nylon, polyester, and pongee, connected to thin metal spokes to help hold its shape. You could even make the spokes fold inward when not in use for ease of portability... Actually now that I think about it, there's no way that would work. Absolute crazy talk.

That just sounds too complicated to work...

Nah, it should fold outwards to make the water stay away from you when folded up so that you can pour the water away from you before entering buildings 👀

[@evilsharkey8954]

What you need is a solid umbrella. Since something like a big dish or shield would be heavy, you can make it out of something like waterproof fabric. Then give it a vertical handle so it’s easier to hold. If you really want to get fancy, make it able to fold up when you’re done. That sounds like a crazy feat of engineering, though. No one’s going to invest in making something like that.

[@ErickTavianRefundini]

@@Just_a_Piano_ I know that we can take the salt out of the water, there are plenty of ways you can do that, but do you know that drinking water with absolutely no salt causes the same dehydration effects as drinking salty water? Because your cells always try to keep the same amount of minerals inside them, I order to keep them alive. This is called homeostasis. But when you drink water with absolutely no minerals, they lose the minerals inside them to balance the quantity of salt inside and out of them. Guess what: your cell becomes dehydrated. The same happens when you drink salty water, your cells lose water in order to increase the concentration of minerals inside them. Research shows that for every bottle of salty water you drink, 2 bottles of pure water are necessary for you to keep hydrated. In conclusion, why not save the clean water we already have, instead of wasting money just to clean the water we got dirty?

A magnetic field umbrella or if you want to improve your wind and water umbrella, how about making it so that it detects each drop of rain and shots an aimed water droplet or puff of air to the falling water to deflect them. This way it's more power and water efficient. Make it so the umbrella has a water collecting mechanism so it can continuously fire water droplets. Like, what if there's a small parabolic camera and a computer contraption near the tip that act as both water collection and rain drop detector? In fine weather, you can use it as a sun shield by unfolding its solar panels to charge the umbrella. These solar panels are not meant to be used on rain because they'll have to be thin and automatically retractable so the handle of the umbrella stays manageable and light. It has to be retractable to around 10-12 inches to it can be stored easily and has a built in powerful flashlight on the opposite end of the water collecting contraption.

It’s amazing you’re working through each of the different ways to repel water for your umbrella idea. Could you maybe try a sonic sound umbrella? I took inspiration from those experiments where people capture water droplets in two facing streams of sound waves, and can move the water droplet around by turning up one sound stream and down the other. Maybe you could have a baseball bat shaped umbrella stem that has hexagonal shaped ultrasonic sound emitters, stacked vertically down the stem, repelling water from around you before they hit you? You might get a light dusting of water after the droplets have been broken up, but it would be much better than getting caught in a downpour! 😄

[@creased4life]

An ion umbrella would be pretty cool! I think water has a slightly negative charge right? So you could create a negative forcefield to repel or a positive one which channels the rain down some stalks and off to the side

[@pauls5745]

ah the force field experiments

The slightly negative charge of the water wont be repellant enough no matter how negatively charge the opposite thing is.

[@thekoifishcoyote8762]

Water Bills go 📈📈📈📈

[@pm9601]

Great idea, but just a thought that may help simplify the design, reduce cost and increase practicallity. Rather than using water, why not add a mechanical button or slide ring around a central rod that is connected to spokes that when the slide ring pushes up the central rod would open up a kind of circular cover constructed of some type of waterproof fabric. Might work and would save a ton of water and no need for a super long hose. Here is a drawing of my concept: ☔

Make it have 3 layers of water umbrellas stacked on top of each other. Like a triple layer shield, if the first layer doesn't stop it, the second or the third layer will! An idea how to build it: To make it have 3 hoses next to each other. The first hose hits the metal square like it currently does. The second passes through a hole in the first layer and hits a second metal square. And the third passes through a hole in both the first and second layer and hits a metal square at the top.

[@russelhundchen8000]

[@eugenewebber806]

think concentric hoses/pipes.. also, each metal endpoint should be able to spin in opposite directions... see my post above..

[@EpicVideos2]

@@eugenewebber806 That's pretty good. Then the hoses don't block the flow at all.

[@JohnSmith-id2st]

What would be really interesting is if you could get it to flow like a water fountain (so a consistent umbrella shape) and had a gutter of some sort which allowed the water to be reclaimed. Then pump it back into the umbrella. It wouldn't be perfect but you could possibly make it not need a hose attachment. Plus the rain would also contribute to the water inside the system perhaps replenishing whatever is lost through factors such as wind, turbulent flow, evaporation. Perhaps even an umbrella that's rain supplied entirely 🤔

[@juliaeaster4384]

Make an umbrella shape with no fabric and holes inside the infrastructure with a pump system and the gutter system could surround the person so that it replenishes. The dilemma would likely be finding a pump powerful enough to get it to work and not get the person wet

[@NatYT.01]

Now that’s awesome!!! The waste of water was my concern also. Very smart of you, love this idea. 👍

[@iCarus_A]

To overcome the momentum difference you will need either a lot of water or a very fast stream of water (the fire hose being both). A "water fountain" like umbrella won't work, it'd just be like standing under an actual fountain.

[@jort93z]

Actually, this could work. But dry ice would be better than water-ice. If you shoot liquid co2 through a small nozzle, it will form dry ice. If you have a big CO2 tank with a dip tube(so you get the liquid from the bottom instead of the gas) and an insulated shaft with a few holes at the top, it might just work.

I jumped off a roof once with an umbrella thinking that I would glide down. It was around 5 pm. I hesitated for a while but when I heard my mom come home I had no choice but to jump down.

[@eugenewebber806]

Hi, great job on demonstrating how an energy shield would operate. You demonstrate this clearly by using water particles instead of magnetic particles. So, your approach is correct to use laminar water flow, but would require the following changes to affectively serve as a shield even against solid objects. Instead of a single laminar layer of water, you'd need several layers (picture the layers of an onion). Furthermore you'd need to rotated/spin each laminar layer in opposite directions. So, when an object (water droplet) hits the outermost layer, looses momentum and also is deflected.. each layer does the same and eventually either the object looses all its momentum or is deflected.
