    What you need is a solid umbrella. Since something like a big dish or shield would be heavy, you can make it out of something like waterproof fabric. Then give it a vertical handle so it’s easier to hold. If you really want to get fancy, make it able to fold up when you’re done. That sounds like a crazy feat of engineering, though. No one’s going to invest in making something like that.

    Rather than use something relatively intangible like air/fire, or something as amorphous as water, perhaps it would be better to make an umbrella out of a solid material.
    Maybe some sort of fabric made of nylon, polyester, and pongee, connected to thin metal spokes to help hold its shape. You could even make the spokes fold inward when not in use for ease of portability...
    Actually now that I think about it, there's no way that would work. Absolute crazy talk.

    Creating a water umbrella for protection against rainfall is an intriguing concept that could offer a unique feature to a garden. The crucial aspect lies in the management of air distribution to establish a functional water umbrella.
    To construct a water umbrella, a robust air compressor would be integral for generating the requisite water pressure. By employing a sophisticated air compressor, it becomes possible to regulate and distribute the water effectively, fostering the formation of a water umbrella that can shield against rain.
    An innovative approach involving the utilization of advanced technological components, coupled with an understanding of fluid dynamics, could lead to the realization of this distinctive garden feature, offering an inventive solution to the age-old challenge of staying dry amidst a downpour.

    In the first experiment with black drops at low speed, it is clear that the dome of water bends down significantly over a large area around the drop.
    It seems to me that this does not correspond to the model of impulse transmission, or the impulse is somehow transmitted not only along the flow of water, but also in other directions.

    What about a layered approach? If you have several layers of low pressure laminar flow within the one umbrella, the rain drop will decrease it's momentum while passing through each layer.

Obviously this decreases the shield radius of your water brolly (wally?), but… would it do better at absorbing and deflecting the energy of vertically falling drops? Even if it would, how do you make a (parabolic?) deflector with the optimal shape to create even laminar flow? Absolutely no idea!

      @@Just_a_Piano_ I know that we can take the salt out of the water, there are plenty of ways you can do that, but do you know that drinking water with absolutely no salt causes the same dehydration effects as drinking salty water? Because your cells always try to keep the same amount of minerals inside them, I order to keep them alive. This is called homeostasis. But when you drink water with absolutely no minerals, they lose the minerals inside them to balance the quantity of salt inside and out of them. Guess what: your cell becomes dehydrated. The same happens when you drink salty water, your cells lose water in order to increase the concentration of minerals inside them.
      Research shows that for every bottle of salty water you drink, 2 bottles of pure water are necessary for you to keep hydrated.
      In conclusion, why not save the clean water we already have, instead of wasting money just to clean the water we got dirty?

    what about an umbrellla with a series of spinning blowing units on top of a stick. each unit has a thin horizontal hole in it (so that air blows with high pressure) and as they rotate and blow this powerful air stream, the umbrella deflects the water (making it fly on other people instead).
    this could be powered with some kind of electric motor (powerful enough) to push all that air through thin holes of the rotating top.
    i would guess you also need a pump (or some blowing unit) and all the elements to make the blowing units spin fast.

    A magnetic field umbrella or if you want to improve your wind and water umbrella, how about making it so that it detects each drop of rain and shots an aimed water droplet or puff of air to the falling water to deflect them. This way it's more power and water efficient. Make it so the umbrella has a water collecting mechanism so it can continuously fire water droplets. Like, what if there's a small parabolic camera and a computer contraption near the tip that act as both water collection and rain drop detector? In fine weather, you can use it as a sun shield by unfolding its solar panels to charge the umbrella. These solar panels are not meant to be used on rain because they'll have to be thin and automatically retractable so the handle of the umbrella stays manageable and light. It has to be retractable to around 10-12 inches to it can be stored easily and has a built in powerful flashlight on the opposite end of the water collecting contraption.

    If you add one or two more layers of horizontal water, you'll get twice or three times as much deflection of the raindrops. Maybe this will be sufficient?

    at 5:34 it seemed like you really experienced the impact of the water, even though it was only the bucket water interacting with the hose water. It would be super cool if you could make a video about this, and explaining how moment is transferred in fluids. By the way, your content is always top-notch! Keep up the awesome work!

    Fire hoses have several settings. There is one where the cone is really wide (>90°). If you give it enough pressure it might work perfectly.

    A solid backpack with an open top prefilled with water connected to the umbrella would be effective during a normal/heavy rainstorm!

    I think having only a single stream to deflect is a primary limiter here. What if you had multiple layers of umbrella? You could decrease the velocity of the droplets over a longer period of time and better impart momentum as the get deeper into the umbrella

      Now I'm just imagining the layers being 1 foot apart and having a water umbrella tower extending like 2 meters above the subject lol

    Hear me out, what if you made a solid umbrella, like an umbrella made out of some sort of solid material that stops the water. That could maybe work.

    This could work as a beach umbrella or a stationary umbrella by a lake, sort of like a tent. The sea or lake could be the source of water for the umbrella, and because you’re stationary, you don’t have to worry about taking a large sum of water with you

    i suddenly have an idea for something like a water canopy. we can spray at full speed without worrying people getting sprayed, maybe even have restaurant or a park below the canopy. i think it would be fun.

    what if you make the spray not shoot out at a parrell from the ground but instead angled toward the ground slightly
