Air umbrella wins design award

The video discusses the limitations of traditional umbrellas, such as their impracticality in rain and susceptibility to strong winds. It introduces an innovative air umbrella designed by a French student, which uses air to create a protective dome against rain. The air umbrella operates with a digital motor that sucks in air and blows it out, allowing raindrops to bounce off the dome.

What happens to raindrops when they come into contact with the protective dome of the umbrella?
