Hot summers and unpredictable heavy rains make staying outdoors uncomfortable and inconvenient. My idea involves creating a smart all weather umbrella, ClimaShade- a portable, user friendly umbrella that integrates cooling, misting and smart technology to keep the user safe and comfortable in any weather.
The umbrellas in the current market only protect against the rain and sun, they do not provide comfort to endure the harsh weather. In extreme heat, simply blocking sunlight is not enough, users feel sweaty and dehydrated. Similarly, during rains holding gadgets and navigating becomes difficult. No existing umbrella has features of active cooling, rain protection and smart weather assistance in one compact design.
The umbrella has a built-in cooling system activated by the buttons on the handle- a mini fan and a mist spray for hot sunny days- the fan and mist spray working together generate a pleasant cooling effect for hot days. It also has a rain ready design- drip proof edges, strong hydrophobic coating and an aerodynamic design for it to withstand strong wind. Additionally, the umbrella has LED lights to provide safety in the rainfall. The umbrella is powered by a rechargeable battery and it is equipped with solar panels
The umbrella benefits many groups: Students and commuters gain comfort during long walks in extreme weather and elders and children are protected from overheating or getting drenched. Personally, it helps me as I live in a place with scorching summers and extreme monsoons, which has often caused me discomfort which could not be solved with a regular umbrella.
