The Air Umbrella

The air Umbrella, Which uses a lithium battery to power a motor to create wind which blows away rain or snow, which shields the user. At its current stage in development it can provide shelter for two people and more if the rain/snow is not heavy.

• Model A is designed for purses, it is 30 cm in length, it weighs 500 grams, and it has a battery life of 15 minutes if run continuously.

• Model B  is 50 centimeters long, it weighs 800 grams, and it has a 30 minute battery life.

• Model C is expandable from 50 centimeters to 80 centimeters, it weighs 850 grams, and its battery also lasts 30 minutes.

The battery may be short but it may be enough to get you home if you don't want to be wet. The battery also is set to conserve power if the rain is light. Umbrella A takes one hour to charge, but models B and C take two hours. All three models have a quick recharge mode which halves the charge time, but it is to be use sparingly as it will affect the battery life. The batteries in all the models will last three years.

As you all know Windows 10 has been released. Here are the pros and cons to help you decide whether to upgrade or not.

Pros:

Crazy Phones

          Me and my friend Nicholas "Thunder Creeper" found the craziest phones either being crazy price, crazy ugly, or crazy cool. We have the pictures and specs listed below them.

Crazy Priced

This Beautiful phone the virtue by Bentley has android lollipop, 64 bit, snapdragon 801, 1080pixeldisplay.and this phone only costs $14,200

Crazy Ugly

This UGLY Nokia (7600) in our opinion is the ugliest technology on the face of the earth. It has dimensions of 87 x 78 x 19 millimeters and a display of 128 x 160. Its rear camera has 0.3 megapixels. The Nokia's BL-5C Li-lon 850 mAh battery can last up to twelve and a half days on stand-by mode. 

Crazy Cool

This crazy cool holographic phone from the maker "Takee" has 2 Gigabyte of ram, and a 13 Megapixel camera that takes 3D images. The phone has a 1080 pixel display, and has a sensor on every corner of the phone to capture the motion of your finger in the air. This phone has a 2500 mAh battery to last you most of the day

My new galaxy

Just as my parents got a galaxy I felt I should join them. So I did some research and discovered the galaxy core prime. Yes I know its not part of the s series but still it is a great phone for cheap. $100-150 depending where you buy it. The galaxy core prime gets its appearance from both the galaxy s3, and s5. By looking at the back of the phone you may may mistake it for the s3 because of the camera, flash, and speaker location. And on the front it has the same earpiece and sensor location as the s3. But yet it has the home button,back,and resent apps button as the s5. And the thickness of the s5. So honestly I believe it is just a better priced galaxy. If you want more info on the galaxy visit the link below. But thank-you for visiting my tech blog. Please like and comment.
