    Its a Mary Poppins umbrella that floats you gently to the ground. And a laser shoots from the top.

      Wouldn’t you want the lasers to shoot from the sides? How likely is there to be an enemy above you as you float to the ground?

        Ergonomically, it makes more sense to hold it like a rifle when it’s folded.

    My umbrella will be super light. It will connect on my back and blocks rain whichever the direction it’s coming from. Think Dr Oct but only one limb holding an umbrella.

    Never folds the wrong way or moves unpredictably during strong winds.

    Make it so it never rains if you have the umbrella with you.

      But then you have no need for the umbrella if it’s not raining. It just becomes dead weight.

        What would happen if I wore my rain boots (it always rains where they are worn) and held this umbrella?

    I’d put the unlimited budget to work miniaturizing a drone fleet powerful enough to maintain position / reliably follow the user thru storm winds that hold a large umbrella-style cover over you.

    I never use umbrellas cuz I feel like they’re annoying to carry and you still get wet, but if it just reliably kept me dry with no extra work on my part I’d be more interested.

    It has a stash of termites inside that can be injected into wooden structures for very slow infiltration of wooden doors and structures.
