Brightning your way in rain with Umbrella

Posted by max On December - 19 - 2008

In rain? With umbrella. Need Light?

There are countless umbrella inventions that aim to make your walk in the rain a little more bearable. Some let you listen to music or catch a movie on the underside of your brollie.

LightDrops looks like an ordinary umbrella but don’t let that fool ya. There’s more than meets the eye here. As water pours over the surface, potential energy from raindrops slamming onto the conductive membrane called PDVF transforms into electrical energy powering embedded LEDs sending your umbrella ablaze with light. The heavier the rain, the brighter the light to help you see your way.

This is really good for people in remote areas which are prone to unexpected rain.
