Finally: a flying umbrella

We live in a world where mind control chips are implanted into people’s brains – but we still hold our umbrellas in our hands when it rains, just like we did a hundred years ago.

This apparently also displeased the creator of the YouTube channel “I Build Stuff”. The foundation for the development of a flying umbrella was laid. The creator himself admits that he was not the first with this idea. But upon closer inspection, many videos turned out to be fake.

Hardly surprising, because of course many people immediately think of a quadrocopter, a drone over which a piece of fabric is stretched and which then functions as a flying umbrella. But the devil is in the details when it comes to such developments. The positioning of the rotors is of fundamental importance. But questions about control, GPS tracking, stability and volume development also need to be clarified.

After numerous setbacks, failed attempts and improvements, the first tests with the flying umbrella could finally begin. These were initially positive. But the second test flight revealed further problems in the fine-tuning.

After months of work and the help of a 3D printer, a roughly functioning flying umbrella was actually created. However, it still has to be controlled manually using a remote control, as you can find out in the charming and worth seeing video. The inventor now wants to tackle automatic tracking via GPS in the next step. By the way: Of course, someone already came up with the idea of ​​taking the dog for a walk with a drone.
