The Umbrella That Plays With The Wind

Mary Poppins would not have gotten far with a Senz umbrella. Her umbrella, like yours probably, catches wind gusts and pulls whatever arm is holding onto the umbrella up and away. And if the wind gust is strong enough it will turn the normal umbrella inside out.
A Senz umbrella is different. It is designed to play with the wind.
While a typical umbrella is like a parachute the Senz is like an airplane wing. The Senz angles airflow around the umbrella, making the Senz usable in gales up to 70 mph (100 km/h). The Senz also shields your eyes from the rain and comes with an opening mechanism integrated in the handle. All of which has earned the Senz umbrella numerous accolades including a Red Dot Design Award, a selection for TIME Magazine’s invention of the year and, of course, Spot Cool Stuff’s endorsement.
Check out the video below that shows the Senz in a wind tunnel, held by people skydiving and used by a passenger on a speeding motorcycle.

What good is an umbrella in a gale? It’s fine that the thing doesn’t break or blow out of your hand in a high wind, but how does it keep the water off of you if, due to the wind, it’s coming horizontally?

to follow up where kth left off, can you make an umbrella for my topless, windowless car?
I just love this car when it is not raining. Top down and all. But once it begins raining…well, let’s just say it makes me wishing for a very sturdy umbrella!
