NEWS – If it’s raining, you need an umbrella to stay dry, right? Not according to maker Ivan Miranda. He 3D printed a motorized hat with an internal propeller that uses a curtain of air to keep the rain off. Ivan does a fabulous job of walking through the engineering process, explaining how he designed his gadget and iteratively improved it until it worked (mostly). It’s an 11-minute video on YouTube, and well worth your time.
Have any ideas for an even better solution?

This is the most innovative (and selfish) approach to staying dry I’ve ever seen. Good luck to those around you that now get sideways rain blown at them. And I guess if the rain is already coming in at an angle, don’t ever plan to tilt/turn your head out of the perpendicular unless you want to get wet. Still, a fun watch, thanks for sharing!
All true, LOL.
