Innovation in Umbrella Design - Suggestions Please!

I have a question, lets think on why the old design is made that way, what are the advantages?

We all know the disadvantages but lets concentrate on advantages. The older ones are stable for medium wind flows. If the wind flow is high then we have to be strong enough to hold it!

Moreover, it covers all the sides if the rainfall is not of a greater different angle.

#-Link-Snipped-# You're right. I am surprised to see no responses here.
Don't you guys ever feel troubled by the umbrella? 👀 Or is it raincoats that took over the umbrella long back?

Umbrellas should have Bluetooth and should be able to connect to mobile. Once it get out of proximity, It should trigger the alarm. That's because I lost only one umbrella in my lifetime and that was my favorite one.

I once saw a design somewhere I dont recall. That umbrella was dark on its spherical surface. It has a complete transparent plastic wall attached to its fringes making a block like a STD booth. Nothing goes in or out. So even if you are wearing fancy clothes, they wont even take a minute spot of dirt from on going traffic. It looks like a moving plastic booth. I will try search its pic.


EDIT: This one right here.

A smaller umbrella (Can stand high winds) with this type of water proof unisuit (Different design for women) might do:

Well people find it hard to carry stuff with them selves in their bags

But if you can get a cloth sticking to your body then it is really a body and as SIr said the water proof dresses are more boon than traditional umbrella

Just when we though things couldn't get any better (or did we?) here is the most perfect Umbrella design I've seen in years -


Designed by Hiroshi Kajimoto, this is not UMBRELLA, it is UNBRELLA.
Because it operates exactly up-side down!
it's a rather ingenious take on an object that's undergone little change in centuries of history. Because of its upside-down orientation, the Unbrella can actually stand upright, plus its reverse opening makes it easier to extend in windy conditions.

Not really, we wouldn't be interacting via Internet if engineering was that boring.

I beg to disagree.
I have been one since 1960. Even now I am using the electrochemical technology that was my engineering specialization as a student.
Engineering is the most exciting thing in my opinion. Engineers move the world, even if it is a virtual world.

What bothers me is why one would do engineering if there was no liking for it. Engineering theory is like a building's foundation. You need one even if what comes on top is a Taj Mahal or a pay and use toilet.
