What should I make next? Give me your wildest/funniest/most interesting ideas ⬇️
make a "rage quit button" that if you smash hardly, it will shut down the electricity in the entire house or to your PC
@@blyticalwhat if I made it shut off all electricity in my city 💀
@@ibuildstuff well then you have to build something to stop the fbi coming after you
How about a drone that has the capabilities to launch fireworks? The user would be able to aim and launch them remotely.
Make a robot that performs slam dunks. Maybe Shane will end up commenting on that video, too!
This guy just flaunted his film making, engineering, story telling, and so many more skills all in one awesome video!
This is like a perfect college application essay.

Brilliantly made and edited, I can't believe your channel only has 22K subs for this work!
I'm happy the algorithm served me this video today. +1 sub from me.
Almost 28k!!
27k

thanks for this comment, now i can track how much the sub count grew since this video
Dude. Your editing and cinematography is top tier! You deserve so many more subscribers. Keep it up!
Wel he can hire someone to do it for him.
@@dreadowen616 What makes you say that? Do you happen to know that he is independently wealthy? He's currently sitting at about 51.5K subs. That's not big money. You can't pay two people off of that. I remember years ago I calculated that I would need about 50K subs (back when I had a channel under a different name) to be able to quit my job and just cover my basic expenses. This video blew up, so I checked Social Blade and he has received more than half of those subs since posting this (27.7K).
So unless you know his personal story, I don't think there is any way you can tell if he was able to hire someone to do all of this for him. The fact that he plays piano and programs drones tells me he's a jack of all trades, so I wouldn't be surprised if he edited everything himself as well.
@@2nd-place I am not saying he hired someone, i meant that he 'can' hire someone for that.
Bro is not only an engineering mastermind, but also produces better videos than most creators
This is so impressive! The engineering is one thing, but at the same creating such a captivating video with professional production quality and amazing storytelling…that’s next level.
thank you so much :)
lmao, overrated

True to the league community's toxic approach, congratulations on never leaving mommas basement :)@@cosmicreaverkassadin1143
for tracking instead of opting for camera tracking I think you should use a proximity sensor with a transimitter and a reciver. It would be cool if you made a hat that had a sensor in it. And when you wear the cap the two sensors will communicate the distance away from the top of you head and the umbrella. Then the umbrella would stay locked at a offset of around 2 ft from the top of your head. I feel like it would be a cheaper and more accurate way of tracking.
thats cool idea..i was think more like have 2 ring in left and right hand to get the position..since its raining a cap might fly off.
Bro can it as product and develope it in to new gen. Like he can develope a software in phone that we can adjust the height and sensor and make our hands free
maby add some gyroscope capabilities to the propellers
@@automation-nv4wwrealistically speaking by the time the cap flies off the whole umbrella will be gone too. Did you think about that?
@@automation-nv4ww we'd have bigger problems at that point
I guess my man really builds stuff...
They call me I build stuff
He do be building
Fo sho
You questioning the Asian lineage😂 man can even play a piano
Oh
The piano part made me giggle.
It's already so insane to be able to design and tackle such an interesting concept. It's even harder to convey it into an interesting entertaining video to the mass audience.
Wishing you the best with this virality. Subbed!
Thanks :)
Also, seriously, get your piano tuned!
I have been an engineer for many years and it is fun to see younger people get into engineering and learn the same mistakes I also learned the hard way such as 3D printing the holes too small. These are the things you get a feel for over time like how to slightly oversize the holes in CAD to get them to the right size the first time. I also love your excitement when you finally see all the pieces come together and actually work after so much hard work and troubleshooting. This is your first video I have seen but I just subscribed, I can't wait to see how you grow and progress! Keep up the great work
Thank you so much :)
Engineering is art, we need more channels like this! Looking forward to the Machine Learning part👌

That rewind effect edit was nicely done. You got me! Cool project.
lmao he got me too!😂 That was pretty cool!
Me too. I almost paused the video to figure out how to "fix" it
@@jeremypearson9019 😂😂
@@marksoccerstar16 I thought i was getting hacked lol
Tip 1: rather than a camera, you already added a gps, why not link it to a wearable signal device and program it to always stay a certain distance directly above it.
(A camera would waste more battery, mistake other people for you, etc. But a locator would keep it above you specifically.)
Tip 2: best not to wrap your device in plastic wrap, or you may burn out your device. It is better to either leave as is or make a protective shield if you are worried about it and add a fan to keep it cool.
Oh, that said, I love your device. It is awesome. Looking forward to seeing you make more cool toys.
May be better to combine both the camera and the GPS. The GPS alone may not be enough for pinpoint accuracy.
Totally in awe here! It’s mind-blowing that this channel isn’t swarming with subscribers yet. Everything about your work rocks - from the slick editing to the way you’ve engineered that flying umbrella. Super cool! And the 10-minute timing? Just spot on. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks man
This was really well done. Don't be discouraged if you don't get a huge number of views (compared to the amount of work it clearly was). If you keep up this level of quality both for your projects and videos, you'll get there.
bruh look at the views already. This video is blowing up.
Woah, that edit at 5:30 is blowing my mind. Took me a few minutes to brainstorm ideas on how you achieved that. Awesome video man
i thought id paused the video
Shit made me think I was hacked lmao
i genuinely shit my pants, i thought someone has access remotely to my computer
Haha, I hit the like button as soon as I saw this edit
The cinematography, the electronics, the creativity...hands down this is soo inspiring!!!🙌
That transition at 1:40 is world class!
its like that one movie one ahahah
Most defiantly!
05:29 is much better. I thought my computer was hacked.
Bro my heart literally stopped as an OpSec guy. I was already under my desk trying to pull plugs xD@@aytunch
i swear
I cannot believe you only have 6 videos! I love the execution, the humor, it's all spot on!
Subbed!
Agreed
Yep subbed as well keep it working very well done
Superb Video 👍
The problem with being a youtube creator is, coming up with new videos every week/month.
Love the sheer practicality of this build. So much effort to not have to hold the umbrella lol well done
Lmao except when the wind blows
Instead of having one hand free with a regular umbrella, you just need to use both hands to carry around the transmitter and actively fly it over you!
I was disappointed by the lack of self-flying and following.
@@uncleswelljust build a robot that can hold the controller and fly the hover umbrella for you
Just have A.I do the tracking and following. Or maybe have a QR code sticker or some sort of easily trackable sticker on top of the hoodie or hat, then make the drone try to center it
@@uncleswell he literally said he wants to do something to make it follow / self-fly.
Bro, I was amazed by the level of editing, humor and effort put in everything around it.
I was surprised by the suscriber count with this level of quality.
I hope your channel grows quickly. Just suscribed!
You have a unique style, good video editing chops and an eye for what can be entertaining. This is an amazing video for such a young channel. I'll bet you're gonna go far
it would be crazy if this umbrella will have an weather sensor which detects when its going to rain and then navigate to you automatically.
Yeah, and also be like the size of a phone, usually stored in your pocket, but when it rains, flies out of the pocket automatically and transforms into the umbrella!
@georgeimedashvili5178 yeah, maybe in the year 3000
it wont work in any wind or real weather it will short and die.
Next iron man suite.
Umbrella man.
Like iron man's mark 42
Just an idea for the tracker if you end up making this thing follow you. You could wear a hat with an ARTag on it (a little square with a specific pattern on it) to avoid more advanced images recognition. Loved the video and I hope you continue with this project!
Had a similar idea with rfid tag, bumping this so he might see
Making it follow your phone seems more convenient
I think a Bluetooth connected beacon would be a lot more accurate/responsive.
You could add 2 transmitters to extremities of the umbrella to allow triangulation of the signal.
As a poster below says, this can be done with a mobile phone although I don't know any off-the-shelf software to do it.
You would configure the device to hover a set distance above the phone which sits in you pocket.
Edit: Thinking a bit more about it and would be better to do the whole thing "passive" using 2 receivers to process the phones Bluetooth signal for triangulation on the umbrella itself. No need for an App, just a Bluetooth connection to the umbrella.
A hat with an IR beacon should work well too. 3+ IR sensors should keep it on target aside from a gusty day.
@@stevebuckley7788that’s really cool I’ve never heard of it, assuming that it’s consistent it would be a lot more discrete than any image sensor
Your creativity in your editing/cinematography was cool and creative. Love it
Damn it, well played Sir. I had this idea in 2015 when walking across the road from my workplace to a cafe while it was raining. I had the idea that you could probably replace the concept of umbrellas if companies and city councils pooled money to create "follow me drones" at each intersection, during high traffic, they could create a temporary shelter across the whole pedestrian crossing and then go back to charge, you would ideally have multiple batches so that they'd have enough time to recover after running for a minute or two straight
Ayy that’s pretty cool- maybe in like 100 years
Some ideas to improve the design:
- longer arms angled down to reduce spray from propellers when it’s raining
- using conformal coating to protect electronics and help with heat dissipation
- tether wire with small pack for battery to allow longer flight
- weather alerts with cellular data, automatic deployment.
Cool idea! Nice work! ❤
cool idea, but I got a simpler ideal, make a helium umberlla balloon and use a wire to tie it on your body.
@@Notjobincomeyou'd have to constantly refill the balloon or get a new one tho
@@NotjobincomeOnly problem is varying speed. A helium umbrella is not really going to almost immediately follow the motion of the person. A wire can also snag onto objects, though this would be somewhat rare since something would have to touch the wire, but is a consideration. I think a drone improvement could be having some sort of Bluetooth device to wear on the ear (or just use one’s phone) that the umbrella drone would try to hover some set distance above.
@@Blueissuperior how long u think tiny drones can fly, and how long to recharge all 4???
@@ac1455 this dronebrella will be GONE in the slightest wind, and it's so small you're still getting wet.
Impressive perseverance in dealing with all the complications! The determination to continue trying different solutions to make this umbrella fly is truly inspiring. Looking forward to your next innovation!
Thanks!!
I want to do things like this, what type of engineering is this?
Excellently done, such tenacity.. very impressive.
Kids like you give me hope for the future, this is incredible and you're going places fast dude!
Yes! Everyone says Gen Z and Gen Alpha like me have no future, but we do! We really do have amazing and indigenous people in these generations (well maybe not late gen alpha 🥱🥱🤦♀🤦♀)
This project added zero value to humanity. There is literally no need in society for a flying umbrella.
@@michaelpark5681 you are brain dead. 1. he made a youtube video which alone provides to humanity. 2. the knowledge and experience he gained from the project can translate to real life applications. you think engineers and scientists are able to contribute to society without learning on their own through personal projects? 😂
So? The fact that he's putting in the work and learning along the way how to create something like this is key, I don't think you're the brightest crayon in the box.@@michaelpark5681
@@michaelpark5681 looks like you add even less value to humanity
For a simpler approach to make it follow you, you could try using some sort of a physical tether that nudges it in whatever direction you're walking. Initially you could try something like a cord attached to a strain gauge, but perhaps a simpler mechanism could be in the form of a rigid attachment, which would also help to stabilize it vertically in the event that it runs short on power.
Seriously though, this was a neat project and it's nice to see someone do something like this for real.
Great work, looking forward to the autonomous version. After all the entire point of a flying umbrella is that you don't have to hold it, but here you have to hold the controller instead, and probably with two hands, so it's actually worse than a normal umbrella haha. Subscribed.
That was sooooo cool. Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Great work! I'm excited to see the autonomous flying umbrella. I love this channel, all of your projects are so interesting.
Appreciate it :)
or even just see this version tested in public. Get people's reactions as it follows you down the sidewalk. Test it in a bit of wind. Increase the flight time (adding more battery to the limit of the carrying capacity). Make a parking station by the door where it hangs and charges...
@@lukearts2954actually did get some people walking by and checking out the umbrella- there was this one person who walked by and looked up at her own umbrella and then at this one and was so confused it was actually funny… just wasn’t pressing record 💀
And then in the background of the flight footage you can see people stopping to watch
@@lukearts2954 LMAOOOO @john more and more ideas ;)
Insanely good video, everything about this is perfect: the camera work, the editing, the music, the storytelling, honestly deserves way more recognition
Thanks!!
52 seconds into the video and you got my sub. I can already tell you are a hardworking up and coming youtuber that has the option to make a real career out of building amazing things for us to watch!
Two things I love, engineering and story telling through camera. You earned a sub.
You did very well with the project, and showed it off with creative and perfectly timed editing. Well done sir
Thank you sir
I got a mini heart attack 5:35 when I thought my mouse is moving (I use wireless)
Last Year we had a funny conversation with my friends. Where i was saying to them: man why don't we have flying umbrellas following us around.
Happy you had the same thought and actually are trying to implement it. Builders like you, are people young people should really look up to in the online world.
Sorry I can't agree with you anymore, instead online world needs builders like you who build such beautiful comments with such beautiful profile pics, he is just a creator.
Goood idea. And can serve to many people in a strong wind.
bro gave us not 1 but TWO of the coldest transitions and dident even give us a blanket 1:29
This was so awesome. I can only imagine How happy you felt when it flew
I’m so proud of you man. Keep it up!
Thanks man
The wind factor is one I can't ignore. Also Heavy rain will send it to my head, so, it need a further tweaking, but looks great! Well done.
I thought about this concept when I was like 17 (now 31) and I swear I thought we would've had this by 2023. You my friend, are a genius. I full sketched up my designs too. Mine was a little elloborate, included a pen like device to clip on to you as a reciever for the drone, but the drone umbrella itself, was cased in a ball that would would activate when you throw it up on the air, and from the sides of the ball itself, an extension would pop out and spread out the umbrella itself. Crazy stuff I know.
That’s pretty slick
Like movies huh.. good
Amazing project, and amazing video in general. It doesnt happen often that im actually impressed by how a video is edited, but here I watched multiple parts twice, just because of transitions or the shots in general.
Seriously, the way everything goes together is on a level that you dont see often, huge respect!
Also love the music, especially the Oppenheimer OST. Kinda fits, I guess lol
The printer segment made me laugh way harder then I probably should have, what an amazing segway 😂
Drones with umbrellas would be awesome. Lots of drones to cover people with wings would be a nice idea.
yea but it's not gonna happen, it would cause hella unnecessary accidents, still a cool concept tho!
Hey first time watching your videos and wanted to just say I'm so happy I came across it!
Not even getting to the actual engineering, but I really enjoyed the effort put into the film making especially the storyline - from the beginning with the explanation of history of umbrellas, time-lapse panning with the attention to the layover audio sketching audio, really gave it a higher production quality feel, to the clear explanations with how lift/thrust works with the example, to the inserted humor with the simple vs complicated design (I personally would suggest that the music gets cut off a bit later and the audience has a bit more time to process, I think the timing was just slightly to abrupt - but it's just my humble opinion!) I'm only 1/5 way in but I was so impressed by ur beautiful narration and the hard work u put in that I just had to stop and write a comment... I usually write a comment like this once every few years haha
Please keep up the great work! You just earned urself another subscriber :)
thank you so much for your kind words and advice- really appreciate it :)
Absolutely incredible video format!
Your humour and editing, let alone the persistence in creation of the project. All amazing stuff!
I think you could've exploited the coanda effect for this. The air passing down could also help reducing the splash of the propeller and forming an air curtain.
Came to say the same. I remembered Tom Stanton’s videos on the coanda effect about 2min in :)
Great idea and video! For the next iteration I have an idea. Instead of overcomplicating the system with a camera and computer. Rather you can have a radio beacon in your pocket and have the Drone follow it
For the tracking you could use some of the sensors on the phone so the umbrella follows the position of the phone that usually is in our pockets
Great video! Wow. I was quite surprised by this channel. Very good filmmaking and engineering skills. I think your channel has a really good future ahead of it. Keep on creating!
The "are birds from the government", and other small details in the video is truly incredible, you are seriously underrated.
ty!!
the edit at like 5:30 was great lmao, made me flinch in shock. bro i hope u get millions from youtube.
also, as for the camera, maybe it would be easier to attach some kind of gps so it just follows the remote? camera may not work too well in the dark and also im guessing you'd have to use some sort of neural network to actually check if the umbrella is following the right person and so on (which i guess would require a revamp of the electronics you're using, including the chip). also if there is a lot of wind, maybe having a handle that can drop down optionally to switch modes may be nice.
you're going places; great production, i can feel all the inspirations that got you to where you are.
thanks for sharing your work.
great sponsor embed too!!
The quality of your story telling, jokes, visuals and editing are amazing! You're going to be huge real soon🌟🌟
Love how you show the full process and the errors etc along the way!
I didn't expect you to make the entire drone by yourself! Top notch entertainment
bro this is amazing! while it could seem like a gimmick, drones might become a lot more useful in the future and you executed this particular idea really well keep it up!
ayyy- thank you so much!!
I doubt , the biggest limitation in all aplications is battery . Then weather . There are also safety issues
amazing editing and an ever more amazing build!
That was so inspiring! Such a cool and useful invention! The months of hard work did pay off for sure.
I was wondering if it is possible to connect the umbrella for motion tracking using a matching yellow bracelet. Fun and convenient! Super excited about what we are gonna see next!
I have been following your channel for a while and I love to see how much you have improved your content. Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Luckily rain and strong wind never go together, otherwise impressive work curious to what you make next.
i havent finished watching the entire video yet already impressed by your story telling and editing skills😂 love it
Ty!!
guy builds an umbrella:
outro: 'now you may be wondering...does it work in the rain? "
thats absolutely insane u managed to make that haha
I was working on making a steerable hot air balloon (school) and spent over 100$ on fabric only for it to be too heavy and now i have a basket that rolls around.
Thatis sad
idk why this channel doesnt have like over 5mil subscribers tbh
Needa improve my upload schedule haha
In only a few videos, your camera presence has gotten so much better already. Keep up the good work!
1:38 that transition was so clean I have to run back the clip like 3 times
1st flying umbrella…. Patent it! Great idea. Will probably sell with some tweak - most importantly the sensor to follow you if outdoor and stop when getting inside (or some place with a roof/cover), 2nd, lessen the noise(near silent), 3rd, option for mounting camera (useful for vloggers like you). Great work!
The reason It Is not in the market It's because flying a drone might be ilegal on some Places AND also It Is a security liability
Instead of the remote control, you should buy some sensors so it can sense your overall body and always be on your head centre.
Also add a 24 hours lasting battery for all 4 fans so it can work all day long (Make sure to keep the battery light weight).
Lastly Patent it and give me ABIT of royalty and sell it directly or it's Patent license.
10k likes.... My man got 71k do the next step put a camera so it can track your position
You mean 98,000
Amazing! Probably it would be hard to track a person with camera. I know nothing about this, but seems to be better to use some "signaling" device and hold it in the pocket and then track the signal (to measure distance) with some detector attached to umbrella

I love your design, I can see mounting the battery's next to the motors, and optio ele-tronic tele-com... Then I could ride it like a Mary Poppins umbrella drone!!! And theoretically... If the motors went out, I can still ride it down like a parachute!
Cool idea! surely we would use a flying umbrella developing from this model
Good progress
Good storytelling
Perfect Filmaking
You Sould Say Us How to Created Videos Like This
Good job!In Japan, a drone umbrella was developed in 2018, but it probably wasn't released due to legal issues.
Imagine in future in a rainy day there would be a bunch of flying umbrellas waiting outside a mall for their owners to come back
Imagine putting a sensor or camera to read the top of your head so it will automatically follow you. Program it to hover with the exact height you need for the umbrella to cover the top of your head. The only time you will control it remotely is when the umbrella should be on top of your head. That would be a cool idea to add.
suggestions: what if each umberella has its own paring tracker, something can wear on the head like a tracker to place on a hat/ hair clips,, so the umbrella knows who to follow, and also need distance and obstacle detections around so it wont hit buildings/ other people's umbrella, etc
yooooo the rewind effect got me that was cool I've never seen a RUclipsr do that before!!!! Keep up the great storytelling and editing
Great Project. For continuing, you should definitely design propeller guards for safety. There's a good reason why all drones (even sub 250g) operating close to people absolutely have to have those
We loved this story! Just picked it up for our daily news roundup + made an extra video on TikTok about it too. Keep up the good work!
The best use case is when you can control it with your mobile phone or a small chip that sticks on your pocket or shirt, without carrying an extra bulky remote controller which is equal to holding the umbrella stick altogether.
Impractical tbh. For light rain sure, anything that sort of truly requires an umbrella, this drone would either get wasted or at least never stay where needed. Fun project regardless.
Your editing skills are insane I really thought my video paused
5:30 I was like what hell is going on with my pc 🤣🤣 that one got me good
This is amazing. Absolutely loved the filmmaking and your engineering.
but I have seen umbrellas that you can kind of wear them as a crown on head and those are great at tracking you where ever you go!😗
Love how excited he is when it worked lol. Keep building and creating !
This is amazing. I could actually imagine a world where people use these.
The production of the entire video was also amazing… the work put in is incredible. Bravo.
Now make it track your movement and autolocate, as well as sense wind and rain direction parameters in order to keep you dry in absolutely any conditions, without you having to manually control its movements.
Love the way you built this idea; I hope it works autonomously in the future. Great Job!!!!
you could use sandpaper and a driller to make these holes wider
That print edit was clean guy
Could come in handy during a Typhon in Fukuoka. Wind just flips my stick umbrella.
