Automatic Wind Beater Umbrella

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 10:32 AM PST

Folks living in the UK will definitely know that it can get really, really gloomy on certain days with plenty of rainfall. Well, that means carrying around an umbrella is a must, but what happens when you get gale force winds coming your way as well? Enter the Automatic Wind Beater Umbrella from Firebox, and its name says it all.

For £21.99, the Automatic Wind Beater Umbrella does resemble a standard lightweight folding umbrella when it isn’t being used to shield you from the elements, but when you press the open button, it transforms into a totally different beast altogether.

In fact, that button press turns it into a massive golf-style umbrella, where it will deliver a whopping 123cm of rain-repelling coverage. Since it is so large (and you’re not grossly obese at Guinness World Record levels), why not invite a friend under the umbrella as well? Who knows, it might just spark off a new relationship?

The secret to its wind beating technique? An interesting double canopy that might actually have you wish the weather is worse than it already is so that you can maximize the use of the Automatic Wind Beater Umbrella.

Apart from that, its subwoofer will utilize passive radiator technology so that one will be able to enjoy an expansive range of bass comparable to larger footprint subwoofers. Among the specifications include :-

  • Anodized aluminum satellites that reduce vibration and minimize distortion, resulting in clear mid and sparkling high-range sound
  • Total output of speakers is 150W, with each satellite delivering 25W and the subwoofer producing 100W, comparable to larger footprint subwoofers
  • 3D-tuned drivers to deliver audio optimized for soundscience's 3Dsst technology
  • Dual-mode operation: 3D mode for enveloping games and movies, and music mode for faithful stereo music playback
  • Optical input for playback of digital audio from game consoles (Xbox 360, PS3,) and other, similarly equipped devices
  • Remote control pod for volume adjustment, 3D/music mode selection, muting and digital/analog input selection
  • Frequency response is 10Hz to 20kHz

Expect the soundscience rockus 3D 2.1 speaker system to retail for $249.99.
